Howdy Suleyman;

First, there is no apartheid in Israel with respect to her Arab citizens regardless of whether they are Muslims, Christians, Druze, etc. Second, Palestinians ("Pals" as you derogatorily phrase it) are, by definition, not Israeli citizens; indeed, they are hostile aliens. Third, how can the segregation and discrimination due to the ongoing hostilities in the West Bank be construed as apartheid unless you concede that the West Bank is Israeli sovereign territory? Remember, apartheid refers to discrimination on the basis of race or possibly religion within the confines of a single state with respect to the citizens of that state. It does not apply to foreigners residing abroad outside of the civil jurisdiction of the state.

"...ARAB OCCUPIED TERRITORIES."

Is that a Freudian slip or did you really mean "Israeli-occupied Arab territories"?
