That's a curious phenomenon because mainstream Israeli politicians have often characterized the situation in their country as a form of apartheid. But woe to an American politician or official or journalist who does the same thing. I'm reminded of what Noam Chomsky used to say many years ago in comparing the Israeli media to the US media. Within the Israeli media. Chomsky contended, there was much more open debate concerning issues like the Palestinians than there was in the US media, where the parameters concerning what it was permissible to say were much more tightly drawn.
