 Define Apartheid in relation to how Israel conducts itself.

ChatGPT said:

Apartheid, under international law, refers to a system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination by one group over another with the intent to maintain domination. The legal definition comes from:

• The 1973 International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid, and

• The 1998 Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, which includes apartheid as a crime against humanity.

Key Elements of Apartheid (Rome Statute, Article 7(2)(h)):

“Inhumane acts... committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime.”

Application to Israel (as argued by human rights groups):

Several organizations—Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch (HRW), B’Tselem (Israeli), and UN Special Rapporteurs—have concluded that Israel’s practices meet the legal criteria for apartheid. Here’s how they break it down:

---

1. Systematic Fragmentation and Domination

• Four-tiered system for Palestinians:

  • Israeli Jews have full citizenship and rights.

  • Palestinian citizens of Israel face legal discrimination (e.g., land ownership, building permits).

  • Palestinians in East Jerusalem are "permanent residents" with limited protections and risk of losing status.

  • West Bank & Gaza Palestinians live under military rule without voting rights in the state that controls their land and lives.

“A single regime governs the entire territory and Jewish Israelis enjoy supremacy over Palestinians in both law and practice.” — B’Tselem, 2021

---

2. Land and Residency Laws

• Jewish-only settlements in the West Bank continue to expand, while Palestinian construction is heavily restricted or demolished.

• The Absentee Property Law and Nation-State Law prioritize Jewish ownership and identity, often at the expense of Arab citizens and residents.

---

3. Movement Restrictions

• Permit systems, checkpoints, separation barriers, and military zones severely restrict Palestinian movement—particularly between Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem.

• Meanwhile, Israeli settlers have free movement and protected roads.

---

4. Dual Legal Systems

• In the West Bank, Jewish settlers are subject to Israeli civilian law.

• Palestinians are governed by Israeli military law, with different rules, courts, and punishments.

---

Israel’s Position:

The Israeli government rejects the apartheid label. It argues:

• The situation is based on security, not race.

• Israel is a Jewish and democratic state, with Arab citizens who vote and serve in the Knesset.

• The West Bank and Gaza are disputed territories, not sovereign under Israeli control in the way apartheid South Africa controlled its entire population.

---

International Reaction:

• UN experts (2022, 2023) concurred with the apartheid designation.

• Many Western governments avoid using the term publicly, though civil society organizations increasingly do.
