Chapter: 16. Can a Jewish State be a Liberal Democracy, Avoiding Apartheid?

DOI: 10.1558/equinox.35997

Blurb:

If being an apartheid state means committing


inhumane acts, systematic oppression and domination


by one racial group over another, then


Israel is guilty according to a recent United


Nations report. The findings have not been fully


backed by the UN leadership and do not set new


policies toward Israel. But they nonetheless reflect


another attempt to use a UN forum to denounce


Israel.
