I found these all to be great and very well organized graphics. Also extremely important I think, in order to fully understand everything that's happening over in Palestine right now.

Thanks for the link, Sky.
These (http://www.revleft.com/vb/group.php?groupid=1228) people should help us understand what's happening as well.

The term "Israeli Apartheid" is misleading because it implies both that Israel is a historic exception in the vein of South Africa, and that as it is used mostly by liberals, that such a struggle can only be resolved by the sympathies of liberals and whatever ineffectual boycott they call today since liberals think that their actions outside of south Africa were actually valuable as opposed to patronizing. Both are dangerous notions to have. Israel is doing today to the Palestinians what the US and Canada do to their internal colonies, what the various comprador regimes of Latin America do to their indigenous populations. These states which exist through the physical displacement of a native population for the sake of expanding a capitalist market through settling are settler colonialist states. Any consistent anti-imperialist could never refer to Israel as an apartheid state because this fails to both recognize imperialism and colonialism as global phenomena and it removes any anti-imperialist content to opposing Israel and replaces it with a liberal discourse about What The White People Need To Do To Make The Foreigners Nicer To Eachother which is just racist anti-arab and anti-semetic jibberish. The liberation of the Palestinian people can only come from their efforts alone and they can not depend on the mercy of the colonizer. Solidarity only comes when organic links are created through actual shared struggle against imperialism. To fight the enemy abroad, we can only do so by fighting the enemy at home.

a) I don't see how apartheid state and colonialist state are mutually exclusive
b) The name "Israeli apartheid" alone doesn't suggest specific actions or strategies that should be taken. And most liberals have no idea what's going on over there anyways or they wouldn't vote for politicians supporting policies of ethnic segregation over there.
Also I'll just leave this here:

Long story short, there are extreme similarities in Israel's course of action compared to South Africa's during apartheid. Btw South African apartheid had a lot to do with colonialism too.

The term "Israeli Apartheid" is misleading...
Israel is doing today to the Palestinians what the US and Canada do to their internal colonies,
And where did South African apartheid get its model? Canada.
