The meaning of apartheid

But if the Jews come to believe his teaching that all men are sons of one Father and are brothers, and that our Hebrew people are not different from others, then the Romans will overwhelm us completely and we shall no longer have a Hebrew kingdom.

-Leo Tolstoy, from The Gospel in Brief

As it was then, so it is today. President Jimmy Carter has called Israel an apartheid state, and by the argument given above (which summarizes the gospel) he is correct.
