The best answer can be provided by someone who is familiar with both historical contexts, that of South Africa, and that of Israel and Palestine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Benjamin Pogrund grew up in South Africa. He began his career as a journalist in 1958, writing for The Rand Daily Mail in Johannesburg. It was the only newspaper that reported on the oppression of the black and Indian population. He documented the torture of prisoners and the Sharpeville massacre on 21 March 1960: police fired on a demonstration aginst apartheid, killing 69 people, most of them women and children. His work as a journalist cost him numerous convictions, including prison sentences. Pogrund and his wife emigrated to Israel in 1997. He lives in Jerusalem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For decades, Benjamin Pogrund refused to apply the term apartheid to Israel. His thesis, defended in a multitude of articles and lectures, was that &ldquo;anyone who knows what apartheid was and attributes it to Israel today is at best ignorant and naive, and at worst cynical and manipulative&rdquo;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On 10 August 2023, Benjamin Pogrund <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/israel-news\/2023-08-10\/ty-article-opinion\/.highlight\/for-decades-i-defended-israel-from-claims-of-apartheid-i-no-longer-can\/00000189-d4ac-d821-afdd-dfacb4060000\">signed an article in the daily Haaretz<\/a> under the headline: &ldquo;For decades, I have defended Israel against accusations of apartheid.

The government is driving Israel to inhumane and cruel behaviour beyond defence. I don&rsquo;t need to be religious to know that this is a shameful betrayal of Jewish morality and history&rdquo;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shlomo Ben Ami, a former foreign minister in Labour governments, ambassador and professor, believes that in Israel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavanguardia.com\/internacional\/20230501\/8934027\/israel-vez-mas-sudafrica-apartheid.html\">&ldquo;we are living and will live apartheid<\/a> in a much more intense way as time goes by, because the population is becoming more and more like Arab. Israel will look more and more like apartheid South Africa, but without a South African solution. There is no possible scenario in which the Jewish minority will ever offer power to the Arab majority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What we have from the Mediterranean to the Jordan River, says Ben Ami, &ldquo;is a state dominated by a &lsquo;master race&rsquo; that is Jewish, in which the Palestinians have no rights. An apartheid. Israel says it is a military occupation, like France&rsquo;s in Algeria or England&rsquo;s in other territories, and that as such it is temporary, until a solution is found. This is a deception. The moment the political negotiations end, the argument is no longer valid&rdquo;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Human Rights Watch report<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Human Rights Watch <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/es\/news\/2021\/04\/27\/las-practicas-abusivas-de-israel-constituyen-crimenes-de-apartheid-y-persecucion\">released a report on 27 April 2021<\/a>, the result of years of work on the ground. Based on its research, Human Rights Watch concludes that the Israeli government &ldquo;has demonstrated its intent to maintain Jewish Israeli rule over Palestinians throughout Israel and the Occupied Territories, including East Jerusalem. This intent has been accompanied by systematic oppression of Palestinians and inhumane acts committed against them. When these three elements (domination, oppression and inhumane acts) are combined, they amount to the <a class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Crime of apartheid&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;!-- wp:paragraph {&amp;quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;} --&amp;gt;Apartheid is both an international wrong and a crime against humanity.

Human Rights Watch recalls that &ldquo;Israel&rsquo;s 1952 Citizenship Law creates a reality in which a Jewish citizen of any other country who has never been to Israel can move there and automatically obtain citizenship, while a Palestinian expelled from his home and languishing for more than 70 years in a refugee camp in a nearby country cannot&rdquo;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This law remains in force.

Since 2007, the population of Gaza has been under a blockade that has made it extremely difficult for people to leave and for basic goods to enter, and has turned the Strip into the largest open-air prison in the world. Nearly two million people &ndash; one million of them children &ndash; live crammed into a 41-kilometre long and 10-kilometre wide prison. Since 2004 it has been bombed by Israel on numerous occasions, with some offensives resulting in more than a thousand Palestinian deaths, most of them civilians. The most serious was the one unleashed after Hamas&rsquo;s atrocious attack on Israel on 7 October 2023. More than 8,000 Palestinians were killed, a third of them children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The West Bank and East Jerusalem are home to more than 500,000 Jewish settlers who occupy Palestinian land and control most of the aquifers. The territory is likened to a kind of Gruy&egrave;re cheese, with isolated Palestinian villages separated from each other and from East Jerusalem itself by a wall, constant army checkpoints, and Israeli-only roads. The growing construction of new illegal settlements, driven by Jewish settlers under the protection of the Israeli army, effectively frustrates the possibility of a future Palestinian state. And it creates a scenario of constant violence between the two communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The roots of hatred<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeremy Milgrom, an Israeli rabbi and peace activist, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lamarea.com\/2023\/10\/16\/jeremy-milgrom\/\">asks in an interview<\/a> about the origin of so much hatred, so much pain. &ldquo;The biggest mistake we have made since 1967 is the terrible occupation. But in reality, the problem goes back to before &rsquo;67 and even before &rsquo;48. And it is a complex thing that I have thought about a lot: how do we tell people that the terrorists who committed the terrible massacre on 7 October 2023 are the children and grandchildren of <a class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Refugees&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;!-- wp:paragraph {&amp;quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;} --&amp;gt;Refugees are people fleeing conflict or persecution and seeking protection in another country for fear of persecution, war or violence.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;!-- \/wp:paragraph --&amp;gt;&lt;\/div&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/xqthenews.com\/en\/glossary\/refugees\/\" data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]' tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">refugees<\/a> who were expelled from the land where the <a class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Kibbutz&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;!-- wp:paragraph {&amp;quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;} --&amp;gt; A kibbutz is a collectivist agricultural community in Israel, where members share resources and responsibilities for the common good.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;!-- \/wp:paragraph --&amp;gt;&lt;\/div&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/xqthenews.com\/en\/glossary\/kibbutz\/\" data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]' tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">kibbutz<\/a> that was attacked are located.

And when you don&rsquo;t respect the basic need for justice you are not going to find a civilised response&rdquo;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of this, says Jeremy Milgrom, &ldquo;is something I haven&rsquo;t heard said in public, but I think a lot of people know about it. I&rsquo;m not justifying them, it&rsquo;s about understanding what has happened. The anger that we are feeling now against Hamas is because of the humiliation, because of the pain, but also because there is a very deep sense of guilt, which we have hidden all these years, for the <a class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Refugees&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;!-- wp:paragraph {&amp;quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;} --&amp;gt;Refugees are people fleeing conflict or persecution and seeking protection in another country for fear of persecution, war or violence.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;!-- \/wp:paragraph --&amp;gt;&lt;\/div&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/xqthenews.com\/en\/glossary\/refugees\/\" data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]' tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">refugees<\/a>.

Hamas attacks did not come out of the blue,&rdquo; he said. The Palestinians have been living under a suffocating occupation for 56 years, their land has been gradually swallowed up by settlements, and their hopes for a political solution have faded, but their grievances cannot justify Hamas&rsquo;s atrocious attacks. Nor can collective punishment of the Palestinian population [as an Israeli response]&rdquo;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response to criticism in Israel, Guterres recalled that &ldquo;I have unequivocally condemned the unprecedented and horrific acts of terror perpetrated by Hamas in Israel on 7 October. Nothing can justify the deliberate killing, wounding and abduction of civilians, or the firing of rockets at civilian targets&rsquo;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few days earlier the EU&rsquo;s top foreign affairs official, Josep Borrell, had declared that &lsquo;just as we can say that it is an abominable tragedy to kill young people who were celebrating life, can we not say it about the death of children in Gaza?
