I grew up in apartheid South Africa. My formative years were spent watching it collapse. Which made me deeply opposed to fascism and racism. It also drove me to study the system.
I am deeply familiar with how apartheid worked.
On a regular basis people try to tell me there is no apartheid system in Israel.
Invariably their explanation for why Israel isn't an apartheid state, describes a policy South Africa also had, and frequently did more humanely.
