Isn’t that playing both sides a little? Israelis are made up of mainly Jews with a sizable minority of Palestinians. From my understanding, their citizenship is all the same. The differences are from Israelis and Palestinians who do not have Israeli citizenship. Which is normal for a country to treat its citizens one way and non-citizens another.

Why I say “playing both sides” is because people who level apartheid against Israel also accuse it of an occupier, which is a clear indication that Israel is not their government, but rather the occupying power in the area. So it is an admission that they are not citizens of Israel. Which means they would not enjoy the same privileges. No one does.

As for roads that only some can use and not others, there are also roads within Gaza and The West Bank that only Palestinians can use and Israelis cannot, because the Israelis would likely be killed or kidnapped. Which just makes that example a wash, if it were true.

This is why I’m having a hard time with the apartheid accusation. In one one asserts that Israel is the occupier and Palestinians, at large, are not citizens. But in the next they level different treatment, which is to be expected. It seems like a trap.
