As a South African born into apartheid and having been subjected to it, what Palestinians are experiencing is infinitely worse. It's apartheid on steroids. We had violence gunshots and segregation but we didn't have bombs fighter jets and white phosphorus used on us as civilian population. When Palestine is liberated they would have to coin a new word for what they have experienced because they truly have suffered so much more

During Apartheid, Nelson Mandela was labeled a terrorist. In fact, Mandela remained on U.S. terrorist watch lists until 2008. Israel benefited from Apartheid by going around the arms embargo by supplying weapons to the South African government.

“The people of South Africa will never forget the support of the state of Israel to the apartheid regime.” ~ Nelson Mandela on being released in 1990

As a South African we have sent this before but Apartheid in Israel is on steroids..Apartheid South Africa also had Israeli, UK and USA support..

This is what prominent South Africans said about Israeli Apartheid. Please note that these statements were made at least ten years ago. Since then, the situation for Palestinians has become drastically worse. 'Apartheid for South Africans was a picnic compared to what we have witnessed in the occupied territories' Baleke Mbate Former Deputy President of South Africa 'It is hard to describe what I am feeling. What i see here is worse. Worse. Worse than everything we endured' Nozizile Madalala Former South African Minister of Health 'Apartheid for Palestinians is worse than conditions for blacks under the Apartheid regime in South Africa' Kgalema Motlante Former President of South Africa 'I support the Palestinian struggle against Israeli Apartheid because it is what my grandfather would want me to do' Mandla Mandela 'To equate what is going on in Israel today with South Africa when South Africa was under Apartheid laws is a gift to Israel ' Naom Chomski

Aparthied means overcontrol of every possible resource, travel, and movement. It's an inability to live and move freely. It's about having an outside force that controls every asset of your life and society. They decide how much electricity and water you get. The banking system is also competitive captured and monitored by occupied group. If someone wants to send money to oppressed nation then he needs to send this money to occupiers and occupiers will decide whether this money should go to oppressed nation or not.

I dont see how anyone can "both sides are bad" this situation while knowing all the history context and facts. Its crazy how effective the propaganda has been on some people

How is Israel while committing genocide in Gaza, is allowed to compete in the Olympics?

Well the grandaddy was called Jim Crow…. Which now is proud to see it’s grandson all grown up and carrying on the legacy

It's good to hear Madiba's words.

How is Sandra getting more and more beautiful with each passing episode❤❤❤

Freedom is an imperishable birthright of all.

اللَّهُمَّ أَحْسِنْ عَاقِبَتِنَا فِي الأُمُورِ كُلِّهَا ، وَأَجِرْنَا مِنْ خِزْيِ الدُّنْيَا وَعَذَابِ الآخِرَةِ

"Start Here" Is My Top Choise ❤❤❤🇵🇰

Truly one of the finest journalists around, Al Jazeera´s Sandra Gathmann - an educator every bit as much as a reporter.

Great coverage, thank you very much

Free Palestinian people 😢😢😢# stop the war

Revoultion is an inalienable right of mankind.

Respect to South Africa, standing against injustice as, I'm ashames to say, my country remains coming complicent.

Thanks for the documentary..very clear one.

RESPECT AND SALUTE TO SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦 🫡

No culture can opress another culture.. All differnt Culture around the world have to be protected..all 3000 of them

I realized this when I met two South Africans on a Greek island in 1988. At that time, most European countries wouldn't grant them visas. They informed me that Israel was a common vacation destination for South Africans. It made me think about what South Africa and Israel had in common..

I know it’s unrelated but the host is so beautiful. Beautiful, intelligent, and classy.

Commenting for the algorithm, because awareness needs to be raised.

Israel watching Apartheid in South Africa like: 👁👄👁 💦 👉🏻🍄👈🏻

THANK you for your great work for HUMANITY!!

Very sad

Apartheid is segregation, the same thing different name. Designed and perfected by the british and implemented everywhere they had slave nations. Like India and South africa. The amount of blood spilled by the british is incomprehensible.

Please explain what life was like in Gaza before October 7

Merci Al Jazeera I was naively thinking after ICJ rulings that it would trigger recourses under national laws of countries that have signed the 1948 Convention but that ate under breach. Are there such recourses under way, has it totally backfired in countries like thé US ?

Its BLATANTLY OBVIOUS.

It’s not apartheid in the West Bank, it’s a military occupation. Apartheid implies a single state with different laws for different people, but this is not that. Israel has been out of Gaza for almost 20 years. And Israeli arabs have all their rights protected by law. There are a lot of ways in which Israel can improve, but it is not an apartheid, and I do agree with Lapid that such accusations smack of antisemitism (because the stretch from inequality in Israel proper to apartheid could be similarly applied to Black Americans regarding police violence, for example, but never is)

Apartheid is apartheid...ocupation is ocupation.,,its not mixed.,

A great explanation once again, thank you!

The South Africa experience it but why Israel denied.

Tell us something we dont already know. I've been to Israel, I have Israeli friends, and I work for an Israeli security company in the US. On the flip side I also drove in the West Bank and I've had a few friends from Palestine and other surrounding countries. Granted, there's lots of stuff to consider, but I think Israel is in the wrong on so many levels. Clearly they don't care a whole lot about Arabs and the Israeli lobby in the US is undeniable in its influence. Add on to the fact that much of Hollywood is owned by Jewish/Israeli big shots, so clearly the media is catering to their narrative. By no means am I supporting Hamas, nor any violence on either side.

This apartheid mast be end now

Very similar to Apartheid in Qatar where people from India & Bangladesh lived in camps far away from the populace and bussed into towm daily & get treated very bad.

Malaysia also has apartheid. They treat n segregate citizens by race with the majority malay race having legal privileges and rights.

Israel should stop apartheid Shame on Israel

two points that are usually not touched upon in discussions of oppressive régimes, but were sort of ricochetted off here, are that all oppression is based on the maintenance of the oppressors hold on the wealth created and possessed by the oppressed. and that the system of laws and their enforcement set up by the oppressors also places major strictures on the oppressors themselves. that said, I have no sympathy for those doing the oppressing.

I like your videos a lot, they are very educative and well elaborate, keep up the good work.

Basically, israel has indeed become an international pariah state.

If its quacks like apartheid, walks like apartheid and looks like apartheid, then it probably is apartheid

BTW jews are not white.. they originated in the Middle East, so like Syrians, Marocons, etc, some have very pale skin, but they're not caucasians... some pretend to be white.. but have 100% pure arab blood... 😂😂

Brilliant!!

Aljazeera get this out on all social media platforms...

Please give your episode every week, I LOVE your episode

Thanks for the elaboration of apartheid and how it’s has changed. - Really interesting stuff. Not only because of the history in South Africa but also how the term has changed.

Please keep uploading every week please. I am always waiting for your new episode. Thank youuuuu soooo muchhh for these series!!!!❤ Also FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸

FREEDOM FOR PALESTINE PERIOD!!!

very good journalism. keep up the good work.

I like Al Jazeera more and more. It feels like really good journalism with really good presenters. I enjoy their calm presentation instead of what we see at Fox News…

Very informative. Having a legal framework is crucial to fair application. Unfortunately, Geopolitics most often than not is only concerned about law Post Facto. First is the exercise of raw power. We see that in Gaza. Humankind is far from getting pass the Machiavellian maxim that the ends justifies the means. America's behavior in the Gaza affair, and I speak as an American, essentially is imperialistic and Machiavellian in favor of Israel. Israel has obviously to any impartial observer, committed a myriad of humanitarian crimes. Yet our State Department can only come up with a demur on the issue. The concept of Law, therefore, is being used as a tool, that is prejudice in favor of allies and used as a geopolitical hammer against all others.

Make a video on Cuban Missile crisis

This is Apartheid vs Genocide. Both morally abhorrent, but the latter is probably the worst crime against humanity.

Except in Israel's case, it has the 'ironclad' support of the US and UK.

I consider Jim Crow a form of apartheid.

Why a non Muslim can’t become President/Prime Minister under law in Pakistan, Iran and so many Muslim countries why no outrage on that??????? Is that an apartheid or apartheid label only applies to Jews ????

Thanks Sandra❤

❤❤❤

Maybe you should mention WHY the land is occupied. Might it have something to do with the Arab nations attacking Israel in 1967?

I wonder why the number of views on Al Jazeera is very low, especially on video with topics discussing the war between Israel and Palestine😢 Maybe it's just my mind,,, maybe... IDK😢

how could there not be apartheid, with 'chosen' ideology for foundation..

Interesting, thank you for the explanation

What about Apartheid in Pakistan, Iran and 50+ Muslim countries why so much hate for 1 Jewish state

I know South Africa is going through some difficult times right now, but whoever the folks are, standing up and calling out the genocide and the apartheid, need to be celebrated. They have more courage than most heads of Muslim countries. As far as as the system goes- remember this, there is no proper way a Palestinian can disagree with the government of Israel. There is no correct way, they massacred non violent protestors, and there is no legal recourse. And sure, Hamas are terrorists, and they did evil things, but the Israelis indiscriminately butchered 35,000+ civilians. For a terror organisation, Hamas is really weak and relatively less blood thirsty compared to the civilised Israelis.

What is apartheid and why do some accuse Israel of it? | Start Here

That was amazing

SOP for Europeans since 1492.

A Qatari owned and funded news organization criticizing a democratic country on segregation and apartheid. Have they forgot about their labor camps and "families zone" segregating migrant workers?

Stephen Biko lives.

Let me provide you with the actual history and I challenge anyone to make a real argument against anything I say because everything is documented fact. The 1948 war was not one war but two that blended together. The first stage of the war was when indigenous Jews from the Holy Land invited refugees fleeing the aftermath of Hitler’s Europe to live in the country. They were from there and they had every right to invite whoever they wanted. The Arabs who lived there who would later become what you refer to as the Palestinians viewed the newly invited Jews as invaders even though the Jews did not attack the Arabs. (You could also make the argument that the Arabs were the real invaders as Islam arrived in the Holy Land in the 7th century. That is why you can find 3000 year old Jewish temples in Israel but you can’t find any ruins belonging to Arabs from that time period because they arrived much later to spread their culture.). The Jews would go on to defeat the Arabs in the first stage of the war and this is when the event called the Nakba took place. The Nakba is a real historical event that the Pro Palestine side is obsessed with because during this event the Palestinians were expelled from their homes. They never bring up though that the Palestinians were expelled from their homes within the context of war. They make it sound like Jews just went door to door kicking innocent people from their homes. In war when you lose, much of the time you will lose land and resources. Most borders on Earth were formed from wars. The expelled Palestinians would be forced to move to Gaza and the West Bank in where they endured a brutal Israeli occupation. Just kidding 😂 Egypt occupied Gaza and Jordan occupied the West Bank until the 1960s. Most of the Palestinians were actually kicked out of Jordan because immediately after they arrived they tried to overthrow the Jordanian government. The Palestinians were then expelled to Lebanon where they to this day are forced to live in camps they are not allowed to leave under occupation from the Lebanese. Yes, Lebanon ironically occupies Palestinians while claiming to support them. In fact, the only place in the Middle East a Palestinian is not allowed to become a doctor is Lebanon not Israel. The second stage of the war was when 5 Arabs nations declared war on Israel after independence was officially announced. Of the five, three sent armies and all three armies were wiped out. This is how the state of Israel was formed. Since then there has been an endless cycle of Israel’s neighbors and the Palestinians declaring war on Israel, then losing those wars , then acting like they were the victims who did not initiate the war. Restarting a war from the 1940s because you don’t like that your side was on the losing side is not very wise. It would be like Japan declaring war on the US because they lost in 1945. They could make the argument the US committed genocide saying the US military killed millions of Japanese including tens of thousands killed from the nuclear bombs. I think what is the most interesting thing to me about the pro Palestine crowd is the selective outrage. I will use the Syrian Civil War as an example. The Syrian Civil War is a conflict that is going on currently that literally is only a few miles from Gaza. The entire State of Israel is only the size on the US state of New Jersey. In the Syrian Civil war 600,000 people have been killed. The majority of those people were innocent civilians. That is a number that is literally 20x greater than the Gaza death toll but it is intentionally ignored. That example shows my problem with the Pro Palestine crowd … I would like them if they were actually peace activists but most of them are in reality political activists trying to give one side an advantage.

The fact that it is even being debated is enough to prove it exists.

The upbeat, hip introduction to this video feels a bit tone death considering the subject. Also, the Israeli Foreign Minister's assertion that it wouldn't be accused of apartheid if it wasn't a Jewish state may be ironically true. It is the systemic privilege of Jews over all other ethnicities in Israel that makes these comparisons valid.

"Move towards democracy". Could someone please define "democracy" in function of its context, because it's an abstract nouon with no specific meaning, it doesn't refer to any specific system. Or, did the speaker 5 mnutes 54 secondsin mean "the party system"? The periodic scratching of an X on a chip of carboard to secure general public compliance.

Qatar is an example of aparthied state.

😊Now we all live Free and harmonious.....🇿🇦 Reconciliation 🇿🇦 Forgiveness 🇿🇦 Mandela 🇿🇦🫂✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿❤❤❤

So let us raise the issue at the International Court to decide in legal terms that Israel is apartheid or not apartheid.

I am just wondering why apartheid that colonial South Africa perpetrated in Namibia is hardly ever talked about

A Palastine state would be an apartheid state, because jews would not be allowed to live in such a state. On the other hand. Israel have 20% Arabs Israeli, who can live and have equal rights.

Congratulations to Israel. They have reached the infinity of indecency. A mathematical impossibility, but they achieved it.

A Chinese restaurant in kenya but not allowing the local Kenyans to visit. Is this apartheid

What do you prefer to see? Apartheid or Two state solution?

Apartheid is what we can see in Muslim countries - men are allowed many things that are not allowed for women. That's the true apartheid. All other things you are saying here is blabbering

🍉🍉🙈🙉🙊 🍉🍉

Lets talk about water rationing thats being going on for decades to make it impossible to live and UNRA having to step in and provode water, will jewish poeple are drowning in it, is yhat not appartite

She is one of best journalist... Enjoy watching her show..... What happened to the white chair you used to have?????

You can’t hate a nation for taking land. Whoever you are, where you are, that land didn’t belong to you before it was yours. Welcome to planet earth

Free Palestine

Can we talk about the religious apartheid of the rest of thw middle East??? 😂😂😂

Don't forget that, like at present with Palestine, the US and UK Govts were one of the last, if not the last, countries that shifted their policies to anti-South Africa/anti-aparthied, despite most of the others, and the UN, voicing it for longest. Like now, especially those two, was supporting and supportive for the longest time and propping up the same despite world opinion. Having said that, personally, I'm not pro-terrorist, I'm not anti-semite and I'm not anti-Israel. I'm just being humane and anti- Govt policies that are morally wrong.

I think it is more comparable to the slow genocide of native Americans tribes in the US where these tribes were slowly wiped off (culturally, racially, linguistically) until they became a tiny minority in their own lands today.

Let’s talk about your journalists holding hostages in their homes 🤔

Al jazeera with the weak title Israel is not accused of being an apartheid Israel is an apartheid. This is according to even Beit Salem an Israeli human rights organization. Dont be weak on your stance. Otherwise good video. May Allah help the oppressed everywhere.

Very interesting subject....also a question....what about all other Arabic Countries not willing to receive Arab Palestinians...? Sounds very much an Apartheid decision....and ask why.... ...and we can then also discuss the ways and means of the development of certain cultures. In South Africa, for instance....for the past 30 years, all public entities has collapsed....and completely unsaved to walk downtown in most cities. A murder rate of approx 90 people....a day....we can go on...and on. So....develop as a people...as a nation...but make sure there is prosperity...law and order.... Now...for the 1st time in 30 years...the ANC party in South Africa has lost its power to destroy.... Hopefully more and more people will understand the rule of democracy.

❤

The heart of apartheid was discriminatory legislation aimed at separating ethnic groups in South Africa and keeping political power in the hands of White South Africans. The Group Areas Act , and The Mixed Marriages Act, were cornerstones of Apartheid. If Israel has such legislation it can be accused of being an apartheid state. If not it the charge is just a propaganda exercise
