Dwóch były ambasadorów Izraela w Republice Południowej Afryki (znanej onegdaj ze swego rasistowskiego ustroju), oskarżyło obecne władze Izraela o "praktykowanie apartheidu poprzez tworzenie bantustanów dla Palestyńczyków na zachodnim brzegu Jordanu i w Strefie Gazy". Opinie ambasadorów jak wyżej - szczególnie cenne ze względu na miejsce, w którym sprawowali swoją funkcję - dołączają się do coraz liczniejszego chóru znaczących postaci, które bez ogródek i owijania w filosemicką bawełnę nazywają i piętnują politykę Żydów w Palestynie.

"The news today is that two former Israeli ambassadors to South Africa have accused their country of practicing apartheid by creating bantustans for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. "It's apartheid, say Israeli ambassadors to South Africa," Ilan Baruch and Alon Liel write at Groundup.
This is yet another apartheid charge leveled by serious people in what Al Haq has said is the "mounting recognition" and "mainstreaming of the legal analysis of apartheid over the Palestinian people as a whole."

"Baruch and Liel say that they "learned firsthand about the reality of apartheid and the horrors it inflicted." And they relate South Africa to current conditions in the West Bank, where Palestinians are forced on to smaller and smaller tracts of land.
This reality reminds us of a story that former Ambassador Avi Primor described in his autobiography about a trip that he took with then-Minister of Defense Ariel Sharon to South Africa in the early 1980s. During the visit, Sharon expressed great interest in South Africa's bantustan project. Even a cursory look at the map of the West Bank leaves little doubt regarding where Sharon received his inspiration. The West Bank today consists of 165 "enclaves" - that is, Palestinian communities encircled by territory taken over by the settlement enterprise. In 2005, with the removal of settlements from Gaza and the beginning of the siege, Gaza became simply another enclave - a bloc of territory without autonomy, surrounded largely by Israel and thus effectively controlled by Israel as well.
The bantustans of South Africa under the apartheid regime and the map of the occupied Palestinian territories today are predicated on the same idea of concentrating the "undesirable" population in as small an area as possible, in a series of non-contiguous enclaves. By gradually driving these populations from their land and concentrating them into dense and fractured pockets, both South Africa then and Israel today worked to thwart political autonomy and true democracy."
