Israel is a secular parliamentary democracy with a free press and judiciary that has delivered the best living standards in the Middle East for its citizens, Jewish or otherwise. To compare it with an apartheid regime is plain silly.
It is (an Apartheid regime) and has been from the day it was created. A bit if history always helps in understanding how we got to the current situation.

The country was created by forcibly evicting the original Palastinian inhabitants rendering them stateless and homeless, moving them to a completely different region and replacing their old home territory with Jews. Too right Palestinians are a bit p*ssed off.

The architects of Israel, Imperial Britain and the USA, in the period around the middle of the last century, as the Empire was breaking up, had the notion that humanity would be best served by living in separate communities. They drew lines in the sand to create separate states and separated different races/cultures to its own territory; that we would all move forward living in total harmony.

The reality is completely different. They created fault lines and conflicts across regions that have endured to this day (as we found in Israel, South Africa, Iran/Iraq, USA, Ireland and India/Pak).

Israel is a classic one culture state. The definition of Apartheid from google dictionary: 'a policy or system of segregation or discrimination on grounds of race.' Cant see how it is anything else.
