Here is one of the most profound commentaries by a true scholar.

An incredible letter written by a non-Jewish Scottish professor to his students who voted to boycott Israel

It's a response from Dr. Denis MacEoin to the motion put forward by The Edinburgh Student's Association to boycott all things Israeli, in which they claim Israel is under an apartheid regime.

Denis is an expert in Middle Eastern affairs and was a senior editor of the Middle East Quarterly. Here's his letter to the students.

He's barking in the wind. The Left (the people he wrote that letter to) don't give a shit what words mean. They make up a definition and then use those words how they want. For them, if they say Israel is "an apartheid state" then it's an apartheid state. If they say Israel is committing "genocide" then Israel is committing genocide.

Words have little or no meaning for the Left. They are simply political tools to use against their enemies and in support of their friends.

That's the Left in a nutshell.

Ahh, yes the "intellectual" expert to explain away horrendous actions of a government. I believe you had something similar prior to WWII regarding the rise of the Nazi Party. And yet, reality tells a different story:

Daniel Pipes (born September 9, 1949) is an American commentator on foreign policy and the Middle East. He is the president of the Middle East Forum, and publisher of its Middle East Quarterly journal. His writing focuses on American foreign policy and the Middle East as well as criticism of Islam.

After graduating with a doctorate from Harvard in 1978 and studying abroad, Pipes taught at universities including Harvard, Chicago, Pepperdine, and the U.S. Naval War College on a short-term basis but never held a permanent academic position.[1] He then served as director of the Foreign Policy Research Institute, before founding the Middle East Forum. He served as an adviser to Rudy Giuliani's 2008 presidential campaign.[2]

Pipes is a critic of Islam, and his views have been criticized by Muslim Americans and other academics, many of whom maintain they are Islamophobic or racist. Pipes has made claims about alleged "no-go zones" overrun by Sharia law in Europe and about U.S. President Barack Obama practicing Islam, and has defended Michelle Malkin's book In Defense of Internment: The Case for 'Racial Profiling' in World War II and the War on Terror.[3]

Apartheid is what S. Africa had in creating separate "Homelands" for various Black tribes. Apartheid is what the US created for Native Americans with the reservation system. Israel doesn't have anything like that. Israel may be a lot of negatives, but it isn't an apartheid state.

Since its founding in 1994, the Middle East Quarterly has become America's most authoritative journal of Middle Eastern affairs. Policymakers, opinion-makers, academics, and journalists turn first to the Quarterly, for in-depth analysis of the rapidly-changing landscape of the world's most volatile region. The Quarterly publishes groundbreaking studies, exclusive interviews, insightful commentary, and hard-hitting reviews that tackle the entire range of contemporary concerns — from politics to economics to culture, across a region that stretches from Morocco to Afghanistan. The Quarterly, founded by Daniel Pipes and edited by Efraim Karsh, is available in full-text on this website.

The Quarterly, a peer-reviewed publication, welcomes submissions of original articles, and will consider pre-publication of chapters from forthcoming books. The Quarterly specializes in timely and expeditious publication of articles that impact on today's critical issues. For more information on submitting a manuscript, click here.

Wrong. I gave you two historical examples of what "apartheid" means.

In two out of three of the articles you posted, the meaning of apartheid is NEVER explained. It is simply accepted as fact without reasoning or definition.

In the second article by Amnesty International, they define apartheid as:

A system of apartheid is an institutionalized regime of oppression and domination by one racial group over another.

That doesn't match history or accepted definitions. Apartheid is an Afrikaans word meaning, literally, apart or separate. That is, the state of being separated. In history, S. African apartheid was the use of homelands to separate Blacks and other minorities from the rest of the population.

The US reservation system for Native American tribes is no different. In both cases, these apartheid states were allowed a good degree of self-governance. Israel has none of that. That Amnesty International tries to say that Israel has some similar level of governance over Gaza and the West Bank is delusional.

Israel may have some degree of institutionalized racism, but that doesn't equate to being an "apartheid state."

Mr Pipes founded the Middle East Forum in 1994 as a traditional think tank focused on the region and influencing U.S. policy toward it through publications (including the Middle East Quarterly) and media appearances. With time, MEF morphed into a "think and activist tank": Campus Watch critiques Middle East studies, Islamist Watch combats non-violent jihadis, the Legal Project protects writers and others who discuss Islamism, and the Washington Project educates the administration and Congress. The Israel Victory Project, which calls for a Palestinian defeat, is the Forum's most high-profile campaign. The Forum, a non-profit 501c3 organization, has a $5 million annual budget, about one-third of which is devoted to an Education Fund that distributes funds to allies working for similar goals.

The US Jews are almost certainly students and activists. What can you do with LGBTQIA people that actively support the likes of Hamas?

That's nice. Here are some reasons why folk of your mindset would by into this hook, line and sinker:

Here is some information/comment about two of the main people behind the journal, Daniel Pipes and Martin Kramer:

1 Pipes was one of those reviewers who favorably received From Time Immemorial: The Origins of the Arab–Jewish Conflict Over Palestine, a book which was so egregiously wrong that even the Zionist historian Yehoshua Porath had this to say about it:"I am reluctant to bore the reader and myself with further examples of Mrs. Peters's highly tendentious use—or neglect—of the available source material. ... Everyone familiar with the writing of the extreme nationalists ... would immediately recognize the tired and discredited arguments in Mrs. Peters's book. I had mistakenly thought them long forgotten. It is a pity that they have been given new life.("Mrs. Peters's Palestine", New York Review of Books, January 16, 1986).See Porath's review in the New York Review of Books and the subsequent correspondence between Porath and Pipes which appeared in the same journal.

You keep doubling down on your myopic viewpoints in order to justify your assertions. Pity for you that history (as shown in my links) tells a different tale.
