While, as noted in a previous post, Israel resembles South Africa in several respects, it also shares similarities with a more familiar country: the US. We, too, are a nation of settlers who overwhelmed the indigenous population. The essential differences between the US and the other two countries are demographics (unlike Israel and South Africa, the indigenous population was too small to resist the settlers in the long run) and timing (international norms regarding ethnic cleansing didn’t exist in the 18th and 19th centuries).
The evolving Israeli vision for the Palestinians looks a lot like a South African homeland under apartheid, but it looks like a reservation, too. And if that analogy makes people feel uncomfortable, well, if the shoe fits . . .
