Israel is an apartheid state. Stealing land and declaring a "jewish state" is no less criminal or insane than what isis / islamic state tried to do. Anti-zionism is not equal to anti-semitism. Just like I can criticize the USA without hating Americans, or criticize Iran without discriminating against muslims.

Name me one land in all of history that has not been stolen or conquered? Also, could LGTBQ individuals live in Islamic State (or even Gaza or the West Bank!)?

Btw, you made claims of apartheid but offered 0 arguments in support of your position.

"Israel is apartheid state" is a very old thesis which the left hoping to apply to Israel after their South Africa success. There's nothing in support of it in terms of law, though. It doesn't even work as libel anymore. Just a marker phrase for antisemitism.
