Why did people despise Apartheid South Africa? Because the Western backed government:
•Annually killed hundreds of Indigenous with impunity, including children
•Annually took at least 10K+ hostages, including 1000+ children
•Stole Indigenous land and built hundreds of thousands of illegal homes
•Enforced separate facilities for the "racially inferior" Indigenous
And guess what?
Israel does ALL OF THE ABOVE, and now also passed a law that kills Palestinians only by hanging. Israel Is Apartheid.

Analysis Summary
The post draws a structural comparison between apartheid South Africa and Israel using verified historical facts about South Africa—land dispossession, segregation, killings—but the Israel section becomes problematic. While Palestinians have indeed been killed by Israeli forces and human rights groups document serious violations, the specific claim about a law authorizing execution by hanging appears unsourced and unverifiable. The apartheid comparison itself is contested in scholarship (some experts use it, others reject it), but presenting the hanging claim as fact without evidence undermines credibility. Core South Africa facts check out; the Israeli claims need stronger sourcing.
Claims Analysis (6)
“Western backed apartheid South Africa annually killed hundreds of Indigenous with impunity, including children”
Apartheid killings are well-documented, though 'hundreds annually' lacks specific verification. State violence was systematic.
“South Africa annually took at least 10K+ hostages, including 1000+ children”
Search results don't provide data on 'hostages' specifically. Mass detention occurred but the exact figures and framing are unclear.
“South Africa stole Indigenous land and built hundreds of thousands of illegal homes”
Land dispossession is verified; the 'hundreds of thousands' claim on scale is approximate but fundamentally accurate.
“South Africa enforced separate facilities for the 'racially inferior' Indigenous”
Apartheid segregation of facilities based on racial classification is extensively documented.
“Israel does all of the above and passed a law that kills Palestinians only by hanging”
Killings of Palestinians are documented, but a specific 'law that kills Palestinians only by hanging' could not be verified in search results and appears unsourced.
“Israel Is Apartheid”
Multiple human rights orgs (HRW, Amnesty) use the term 'apartheid.' Israel/some allies dispute this characterization. The claim reflects genuine scholarly/advocacy debate.
