The question is not whether Israel is a replica of Apartheid South Afirca - because it isn't. The question is whether there is a well-entrenched, permanent political system of clear domination of one group over another, extending throughout Israel/Palestine.
To claim otherwise would be to say that the current reality is a temporary occupation - even after 53 years, hundreds of settlements, billions of dollars of investments, and incredibly well developed legal architecture that binds the West Bank to Israel.
You don't like the word Apartheid? You could call it "a well entrenched regime of discrimination, segregation and domination". Does it sound any better?
And it's not even a question if your ideal solution is one-state or two states. It's a question of recognising what has been happening for decades and accelerated dramatically in the last five years.
