An Apartheid regime is one in which it treats people under different standards of law on the basis of some invidious distinction like race or religion. The poster child example is South Africa, which treated people very differently on the basis of race. However, South Africa did this with South African citizens.

Israel, on the other hand, is different. The West Bank and Gaza are NOT part of Israel. They are territories that they partially occupy and blockade. Gaza in particular is the looser of the two; there hadn't been any Israeli people in Gaza since 2005 before this latest outbreak of war. Now if you want to say that occupation of an area is grounds for classifying a country as apartheid, then I'll take your challenge.
As of the time of writing this, October 10th 2023, The United States of America occupies Al-Tanf in Syria. Has done so since 2017. None of the people who live there can vote in American elections, travel to the U.S. and they are subject to martial law. America is an apartheid regime of the same moral standard of Israel. Should we dissolve both countries or neither of them over this?

Cool, so it's just violent colonialist imperialism, cause that's so much better...
Well said.
