But see, that's exactly it.
Israel wants nothing to do with the Palestinians, yet they've shown time and again that they want the land that the Palestinians live on. Israel can't have it both ways.
They are the only real government between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River. If they claim the entire area as theirs, then they have the moral obligation to treat all the residents of that area with respect, equality and dignity. Creating a situation where one group of people is privileged over another, is the textbook definition of apartheid.
