"The use of the term 'apartheid' for #Palestine is complicated. It's been used by 'liberal #zionists' and 'left-wing zionists' to try and make the issue of the #occupation of Palestine as solely a #racism one and not a #genocidal settler #colony #occupying land that is ours. However, the system in place within that occupation is factually one of #apartheid. South #Africans lived through the same thing and preferred the term apartheid. It's not like the white #people weren't occupying land that wasn't theirs either. Either way, considering countless South African #activisits including Nelson Mandela's grandson decided to go ahead and call the occupation of Palestine a system of apartheid, while calling it an occupation and declaring that ALL of Palestine should be free, it becomes silly to even try to argue with that, you just don't have a foothold."
