The comparison between apartheid South Africa and Israel boils down to flagrant violations of international law and human rights. The institutionalized, systematic way Israel denies and violates the rights of Palestinians and the Israeli policies of segregation are similar to the methods the South African apartheid regime.

http://www.ifex.org/israel/2010/05/14/makhoul_detained/ ARTICLE 19 is deeply concerned about the extension of the incommunicado detention of Israeli activist Ameer Makhoul, arrested in Haifa on "security charges" a few days ago.

21 October 2008 | West's silence towards Israel's racial discrimination unacceptable
The silence and indifference of the world community to Israel's racial discrimination against Palestinians is a blow to all people who cannot accept injustice and unjust behavior, either from individuals or states. Moreover, as Martin Luther King, Jr. said about racial discrimination against African-Americans in the US, "injustice anywhere is threat to justice everywhere."
