Israel is worse than apartheid was, imo.
Apartheid is an ideology and institution. Israel is a nation.
It did not call for the deaths of those practicing or endorsing apartheid. It was a call to "kill" the continued practice of apartheid . . . not the annihilation of a country and it's citizens.
"Death to Slavery" . . . was about killing the institution of slavery . . . not the death of people or the states where slavery was practiced.
I get it . . . you want Israel obliterated . . . as do many secular and religious people and nations.
It's just another "moral and humanitarian" justification for genocide.
Kinda like "Death to America".
There's no question that Israel is a Zionist state, so saying "death to Israel" is no different than saying "death to apartheid". If you say "death to Jews", that's very different, but I think it's disingenuous to conflate the two. The most that can reasonably be said is that people who call for the death of Israel *might* be referencing all Israelis. The same applies to apartheid South Africa. There were more than a few who wanted all Afrikaners dead.
