The website ] claims that ], ], and ]'s treatment of ] is discriminatory and a form of apartheid, and refers to it as an Apartheid state. Israel and its supporters argue that this comparison is ungrounded and unfair, as its Arab citizens are allowed mostly the same freedoms as the Jews. <!-- I believe there are a few exceptions, such as that Arabs can not buy land in some places, I don't know specifics --> The ] is often referred to by critics as the "]". |

The State of ]'s Constitution denies ]s citizenship. (note: I keep correcting this and someone keeps putting it back. The Jordanian constitution doesn't define citizenship standards. The Law of Nationality of 1954 granted citizenship to everyone living in certain territories, but with regard to the West Bank, excluded Jews on the basis that they were all granted citizenship in the new Israeli state. There is no other exclusion of Jews from Jordanian nationality law.) |

] was the law in parts of the ] until the ]. These laws became known as ] and were similar to apartheid legislation in the forced segregation of facilities and services to black and white people, and prohibition of intermarriage. Some similarities between the situation in the southern states of the U.S. and South Africa were: |
|
|
* The races were kept separate, with separate schools, hotels, bars, hospitals, toilets, parks, even telephone booths, and separate sections in libraries, cinemas, and restaurants, the latter often with separate ticket windows and counters. (Refer ) |
|
|
* Laws prohibiting interracial sex and marriage (miscegenation) were passed between 1870 and 1884 in eleven southern states ] |
|
|
* The voting rights of blacks were systematically restricted or denied through suffrage laws, such as the introduction of poll taxes and literacy tests. Loopholes, such as the grandfather clause and the understanding clause protected the voting rights of white people who were unable to pay the tax or pass the literacy test. Only whites could vote in the Democratic Party primary contests. ] |
|
|
|
|
|
Some differences were: |
|
|
* In the U.S. after the Civil War, there was never a class of blacks who were not citizens (although it is certain that most were treated as second class citizens); |
|
|
* There were no "homelands" in the U.S. (although some areas were informally designated black neighbourhoods, and as such were under-resourced and stigmatized), and families were not separated as they were in South Africa by not allowing men to bring their families with them to the areas where they worked. |
|
|
* Blacks are a minority in the U.S., but a majority in South Africa. |
|
|
* In South Africa, voting rights were denied to blacks outright, by denying them citizenship. In the U.S., denial of voting rights was enforced by local custom, by ] and other forms of terrorism, or by poll taxes and selective enforcement of literacy requirements as described above. |

The ] were designed to disempower African Americans and characterised them as an inferior race, just as the ] deemed Jewish people. The ] justified and perpetuated the use of lynchings against African Americans, particularly by groups such as the ]. The ] (CRC) made a 1951 presentation on ] to the ] entitled "We Charge Genocide," which argued that the federal government, by its failure to act to curb the lynchings, was guilty of ] under Article II of the ]. |

Global apartheid is the view that rich democratic ] act in much the same way as white South Africa, by exploiting or ignoring the plight of people in developing countries, inasmuch as many White South Africans justified apartheid by regarding black South Africans as geographically removed from them, and therefore citizens of another territory. |
