Even many South Africans like Nelson Mandela consider Apartheid in South Africa to be less cruel and dehumanizing than the Israeli treatment of the Palestinian people.
"Apartheid is a crime against humanity. Israel has deprived millions of Palestinians of their liberty and property. It has perpetuated a system of gross racial discrimination and inequality. It has systematically incarcerated and tortured thousands of Palestinians, contrary to the rules of international law. It has, in particular, waged a war against a civilian population, in particular children." Nelson Mandela 2001
Boycott Israel. South Africa was boycotted for it's racism and bigotry. Israel is far worse still than even South Africa. Mandela's words were true in 2001. They are even more true and powerfully highlighted by the murders committed in Gaza by Israeli Jews.
