And what is wrong with having an anti-apartheid

Though I'm generally no fan of

that many
"anti-Israel biases" are not "anti-apartheid
biases", but rather
"anti-Jewish biases."
I see your point. But is'nt it anti-Israel to even
mention "apartheid" in the context of Israel? So its
ok to be anti-apartheid, but its anti-semitic to say
Israel is an apartheid state?
Whether or not it is, is irrelevant. It is POV to say "Israel is an
apartheid state". It is NPOV (and demonstrably true) to say "Some
consider Israel to be an apartheid state".
We're writing an NPOV encyclopedia, remember.
