...who are treated differently than citizens but no one likens them to slaves. Every country on the planet treats non-citizens differently than their own. There is no such thing as Apartheid against non-citizens. The situation in the W.Bank is called Occupation, not Apartheid. Heck, almost all Palestinians in the W.Bank are under the authority of the PA where they can vote & have equally shitty rights. That's technically not an Occupation and it's definitely not Apartheid either. The world signed on at Oslo to give the PA its authority over almost all Palestinians in the W.Bank.

Fail.
