- ^ "An apartheid-like system is when we are talking about two peoples who live in the same territory, between the sea and the river, the Mediterranean and the River of Jordan, two peoples. And there are two sets of laws which apply to each separate people. There are two – there are privileges and rights for the one people, for the Israeli people, and mostly for the Jews among – within – of the Israeli people, and there are restrictions and decrees and military laws which apply to the other people, to the Palestinians."
