It’s not another country in any real sense of the word; in practice both the West Bank and Gaza are semi-autonomous territories of Israel, the difference being that the West Bank is more or less obedient while Gaza is in rebellion. Palestine as a sovereign state is a legal fiction so in practice it’s all Apartheid.
I always took the term “apartheid state” to refer to the way Israel treats Palestinians both in the West Bank, which despite being a separate country is also under military occupation by Israel, and at home within Israeli borders
The word ‘apartheid’ has been thrown about a lot with Israel but it’s never quite been accurate as Palestine is another country.
But this is Apartheid. There is no weaseling around it. It’s 100% apartheid. Israel, go fuck yourselves.
