Israeli apartheid is a controversial phrase used by some anti-Zionists and Palestinian rights activists to compare the policies of the Israeli government towards Palestinians to those of apartheid-era South Africa towards its Black population.
The term "Israeli apartheid" has been used frequently by left-wing groups protesting the Israeli government, particularly student groups in Britain, the United States and Canada, where "Israeli apartheid week" is held on many campuses. The term is also used by those advocating sanctions against Israel or disinvestment in Israel echoing the 1980s campaign for sanctions and disinvestment as economic tools to pressure apartheid-era South Africa.
Of the notable users of the term is the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who himself suffered under South Africa's Apartheid.
