Calling Israel an appartheid state, and your specific examples betray a state of mind which applies arbitrary standards to Israel that never get applied to literally ANY other country in the world.
Some of your specific examples:
"Illegal Settlers living in Palestine can vote in Israel but not Palestinians."
Americans living abroad in France can vote in American elections, but note the French people. Therefore the US is an appartheid state.
How is controlling your state border via a wall appartheid?
- helge9210 4y agoLet's leave Palestinians for a second. Israeli settler living in occupied territories can vote in Israeli elections. Israeli living in Germany cannot. Both are living abroad, but have different laws applied to them. Having different legal systems for different groups of population is apartheid.

Are French people effected by America's laws and politics the same way Palestinians are effected by Israel's laws and politics? If America controlled the water, power, marriages, fishing rights and freedoms of the French people I would argue that perhaps they should have a vote.
