Original sentence: Allegations of Israeli Apartheid draw an analogy between South Africa's treatment of non-whites during the apartheid era and Israel's treatment of Arabs living in the Occupied Territories or Israel.Many of those who reject the analogy argue that it is political slander intended to malign Israel by singling it out, and say that legitimate Israeli security needs justify the practices that prompt the analogy.They also point to substantial rights that Arab citizens share with other Israeli citizens—including suffrage, the ability to hold public office, and freedom of speech—that were not available to the blacks of South Africa.They also point to the physical separation between the two groups, and claim that Arab citizens of Israel receive second-class status.Those who use the analogy claim that Palestinians are not afforded the rights and privileges of Israelis and that Israel's treatment of Palestinians in the name of security amounts to oppression
Edited sentence: Israeli Apartheid is a term that draws an analogy between South Africa's treatment of non-whites during the apartheid era and Israel's treatment of Palestinian Arabs living in the Occupied Territories or in Israel.The extent to which the notion of "apartheid" is applicable to Israeli government policies is disputed, and use of the term is considered controversial in North America...The term is usually invoked to describe those policies enacted by the Israeli government which set Palestinians living in the Occupied Territories apart from Jewish settlers in both legal status and by means of physical separation
