Arab-"Israeli" MK speaks at "Israel" Apartheid Week, says West Bank, Gaza apartheid worse than in South Africa
"Israeli" democracy was built on the 1948 transfer, said MK Jamal Zahalka of the National Democratic Assembly (NDA) in a speech in a Canadian University during "Israel" Apartheid Week last Wednesday.

Zahalka, the keynote speaker of the event, criticized "Israeli" democracy, saying it was plagued with demographic frenzy and legislated racist laws such as the Citizenship Law that prevents family unification.
According to an NDA affiliated website, Arabs48.com, Zahalka said that the situation in the West Bank and Gaza is far worse than the South African apartheid ever was, since unlike South Africa, "Israel" is also separating between Palestinians.
"`Israel` is implementing apartheid policies in Palestine by building the apartheid separation wall, bypass roads for Jews (Zionists) only in the West Bank, restrictions on movement of Palestinians, hundreds of checkpoints, in addition to the siege and daily violation of basic human rights of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza," the event`s official website reported Zahlaka saying.
Zahalka continued to say that the Gaza Strip is completely cut off from the West Bank, despite the Safe Passage agreement.
250,000 Palestinian residents of Jerusalem (Al-Quds) are isolated from the West Bank and Gaza, and the northern West Bank is separated from its southern end, as a network of roadblocks prevent free movement between villages and towns, he said.
