 I'm Yusuf Haddad and we're here in South Africa to explain what apartheid is and what it's not. Apartheid is an Afrikaans word that refers to historical policies and government sponsored segregation, racism and discrimination against black people in South Africa. Apartheid is prohibited in black people by law from sharing restaurants, bathrooms and any public facility in the country. Apartheid is not allowing Arab Israelis who have equal rights under the law to become 30% of the doctors, 50% of the pharmacists and we're only 20% of the population. Apartheid is prohibited in banks from saving black and white people on the basis of the color of their skin. Apartheid is not an Arab Israeli Samar Hajjahia who is the CEO of the largest bank in Israel, Bank Lomi. Apartheid is denying black people their right to vote on the basis of their color. Apartheid is not Arab Israelis joining the government coalition such as Mulsour Abbas did in the last government or having multiple Arab Israeli political parties which sit in making assets since the founding of the Israeli state. Apartheid is having two legal systems for whites and for blacks. Apartheid is not an Arab Israeli Supreme Court Justice Salim Jubran who is sent to present a Jewish prime minister and a Jewish president. Nor is it Supreme Court Justice Khaled Kaboob an Arab Israeli who today sits on the Israeli Supreme Court. Apartheid is denying black people and white people to play together to represent the country. Apartheid is not Arab Israeli athlete who proudly represent their country. Like Hala Mahli, the Israeli Karate champion or Biblah Snathok, the Israeli national football team captain. Apartheid is banning black people from serving in positions of power over white people. Apartheid is not an Arab IDF commander over Jewish soldiers defending together our country as I did and many others from my community. Apartheid is the sole crushing dehumanizing legal implementation of racism. Apartheid is not a democratic country where Jews and Arabs live side by side with equal rights. While we face challenges of racism like any other country in the world, we are protected by Israeli law, not discriminated against. Political conflicts are not black and white but Apartheid was. It is very clear that the Jewish and democratic state of Israel is not an Apartheid state.
