Yes, the way the system is currently designed, based on your definition is absolutely an apartheid.

So, that's a no on the two-state solution then.
Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza become citizens of Palestine - thanks Oslo Accords.
A Palestinian from Nablus is not an Israeli citizen, just like the guy from Buffalo, NY, is not a Canadian citizen. I cannot run for public office in the USA because I am not a US citizen.
That being said - Israel does make provisions for reuniting family (elderly parents with children) also Palestinians living in Jerusalem (technically West Bank for some here) have been offered Israeli citizenship. Most refuse. it.
