The dispossession and displacement of Palestinians from their homes is a crucial pillar of Israel’s apartheid system. Since its establishment the Israeli state has enforced massive and cruel land seizures against Palestinians, and continues to implement myriad laws and policies to force Palestinians into small enclaves. Since 1948, Israel has demolished hundreds of thousands of Palestinian homes and other properties across all areas under its jurisdiction and effective control.
As in the Negev/Naqab, Palestinians in East Jerusalem and Area C of the OPT live under full Israeli control. The authorities deny building permits to Palestinians in these areas, forcing them to build illegal structures which are demolished again and again.
In the OPT, the continued expansion of illegal Israeli settlements exacerbates the situation. The construction of these settlements in the OPT has been a government policy since 1967. Settlements today cover 10% of the land in the West Bank, and some 38% of Palestinian land in East Jerusalem was expropriated between 1967 and 2017.
Palestinian neighbourhoods in East Jerusalem are frequently targeted by settler organizations which, with the full backing of the Israeli government, work to displace Palestinian families and hand their homes to settlers. One such neighbourhood, Sheikh Jarrah, has been the site of frequent protests since May 2021 as families battle to keep their homes under the threat of a settler lawsuit.

@leon19736 "In time of Apartheid could black people vote, have parliament members , be generals in the army, high ranked police officers, diplomats, professors at Universities, judges, managers? Like 2 million of Arabs in Israel."
These are not the definitions of apartheid. These are red herrings.
Can citizen of Eastern Jerusalem vote over the people that have the violence monopoly over them? No they can't. Can a Palestinian resident there take the IDF to court in Israel? No they can't. Who has the legal power over Jews in the same area? Israeli courts. This is the definition of Apartheid. Same area. 2 different legal systems.
"So you decide to attack my grammar"
It was a comment on you as a whole, pretending to be one of us. If you were one of us, you'd be able to express yourselves like we do. It is symptomatic of the gung-ho zionists, that they can barely express themselves in the English language.
I stand corrected on the official EU stance on Israel being an apartheid state though, but give it time. You have no friends here, except for some weird right-wingers in the East. They could just as well turn against you though, so be careful in who you call your friends. Your one strong support in the West is creepy evangelical American.s
So your whataboutism still stands? You get to gag and tie down 80 year old Palestinian Americans, then abandon them on building sites when they have heartattacks because "look at those arab countries".
Great argument.
