IT HAPPENED TOMORROW “Nothing Like South Africa”

By Guido Vitale

I remain committed to both Israel and South Africa, and I straddle both societies. I am acutely aware of Israel’s problems and faults, but it is nothing like South Africa before 1994. Those who accuse Israel of apartheid — some even say, “worse than apartheid” — have forgotten what actual apartheid was, or are ignorant, or malevolent. (Benjamin Pogrund, The New York Times)
