Chomsky (himself Jewish) on the apartheid state

----
Chomsky also said that while Israel critics invoke the South African model of apartheid to describe the situation in the West Bank, "the necessary educational work has not been done," as public opinion in the United States has yet to mobilize against Israel the way it did against South Africa.

The MIT professor went on to accuse Israel of committing crimes that are "far worse" than those perpetrated by the white nationalist regime in South Africa.

"Within Israel, discrimination against non-Jews is severe," Chomsky wrote in The Nation. "The land laws are just the most extreme example. But it is not South African-style apartheid. In the occupied territories, the situation is far worse than it was in South Africa, where the white nationalists needed the black population: it was the country's workforce, and as grotesque as the bantustans were, the nationalist government devoted resources to sustaining and seeking international recognition for them."

"In sharp contrast, Israel wants to rid itself of the Palestinian burden. The road ahead is not toward South Africa, as commonly alleged, but toward something much worse."
