Anyone living on land under Israeli jurisdiction can in theory become a citizen if they chose. Many have.

More then ample access to employment then can vote, own land, own business, run for government office, hold positions in Parliment to fight for more rights, speak their mind freely, have rights regardless of sexual preference and gender....and if this isn't enough for them, they can take citizenship in Jordan, or the other 98% of the Mid-east where Jews can not.

(In addition, they were alloted territory to create their own infrastructure for an independent state, and provided with the training and guns to hold jurisdiction over the land. They were also at one pointawarded a portion of tax money, (israel has the highest taxation of most any nation. close to 50% of the Israelis wage. a typical yearly income is only $18,000 there) , access to Israel's coveted water supply, and a money making Casino. The PA abused and mismanaged these oppurtunities by turning their energies towards organizing further uprisings instead)

To label Israel an Apartheid state belittles the struggle of the Black South Africans who were not afforded these same oppurtunities. Internationals who view the mid-east conflict as apartheid would best serve the peace process by staying put and taking a class in the subject instead.
