    Nobody is disputing that people compare it. I’m also not disputing that there is a hyper modern converted effort to define Israel as an Apartheid state.

    You’re supposed to be providing evidence that as originally understood and as codified into law, Israel is literally an apartheid state.

    Citing people who made comparisons is not evidence on this point nor is citing modern sources who, I am suggesting, have been misled or miseducated.

    Maybe I am he one that was miseducated. Maybe the statutory codification of the international crime of apartheid was meant to be broad enough to include Israel even though it lacks the hallmark policies of Apartheid but I am not persuaded so far.

    Back to your Mandella quote, the part about the world putting an end to Apartheid, and doing things like codifying it into international law. That began in 1973. In 1969, the UN had just adopted the convention against racial discrimination.

    By your edtimation, what are the distinguish features as between the racial discrimination convention and he apartheid convention?

      I have, the international definitions of Apartheid listed above. As well as the documentation of multiple Human Rights Organizations, that go through those international definitions, and give exhaustive details that show exactly how Israel fits the definition of Apartheid for every international definition.
