Can anybody write something here on the beginnings and ending of apartheid in South Africa? Thanks.

I know the term originated in South Africa, but recently:

• apartheid was made a "human rights" violation, even for something as minor as not letting people organize a labor union
• a new supranational count (the ICC) claims jurisdiction to prosecute human rights violations everywhere in the world, even countries which did not ratify the ICC treaty
• my POV is that there's a trick here: the ICC/apartheid thing will be used selectively against Israel

A "trick"? Are Israel guilty of apartheid or aren't they? If they are, shouldn't they be made to stop doing it? GrahamN
