Holocaust Historian Defends Accusing Israel of Apartheid as Non-Anti-Semitic

Amos Goldberg, a Holocaust historian and professor at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, argues that describing Israel's treatment of Palestinians as "apartheid" is not anti-Semitic. Goldberg's viewpoint is supported by a growing chorus of voices, including leading Israeli academics, who use the term to describe the current regime's actions. He references a petition signed by over 2,000 academics and public figures that highlights the lack of basic rights for Palestinians and the settler violence they face. Goldberg notes a shift in rhetoric among Jewish and non-Jewish academics, as recent changes in Israeli judicial proposals have forced many to reassess their perception of the Israeli regime. He concludes that while some may deny the reality, more people worldwide are beginning to recognize it.
