About That Word Apartheid |
| Issue: 2007, Volume 40, Issue 2 |
| Subject: Apartheid|South Africa |
| Author: Various Authors |
| Issue Description: President Carter’s book “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid”unleashed a firestorm of controversy. To suggest that white, racist South Africa’s treatment of its indigenous inhabitants is in any way similar to Israel’s treatment of its indigenous inhabitants, for some, smacks of anti-Semitism. And yet, a Google search of “Israel + Apartheid”brings up 5.5 million references. To help clarify the relationship between Israel and apartheid South Africa, John Mahoney, Jane Adas and Robert Norberg put together a timeline, beginning with June 1917, when Dr. Chaim Weizmann and Gen. Jan Christian Smuts met in London to lobby for their respective causes. |

Witness for the Defenseless |
| Issue: 2007, Volume 40, Issue 3 |
| Subject: Human Rights|West Bank/Gaza|Zionism |
| Author: Baltzer, Anna |
| Issue Description: Anna Baltzer writes that it was on a trip to southern Lebanon where, for the first time, “I heard a narrative about the state of Israel altogether different from the one I had learned growing up as a Jewish American.”To see the situation for herself, she traveled to Palestine in late 2003 as a volunteer with the International Women’s Peace Service (IWPS), a grassroots solidarity organization dedicated to documenting and nonviolently intervening in human rights abuses in the West Bank. “In spite of my research,”she continues, “nothing could have prepared me for witnessing firsthand the injustices that characterize Israeli rule in the West Bank, including the expansion of Jewish-only colonies on Palestinian land, the virtually unchecked brutality of soldiers and settlers against Palestinian civilians, and Israel’s Apartheid Wall, separating hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their land, jobs, hospitals, schools, and each other.” |
