Shocking insight into Israel's Apartheid | Roadmap to Apartheid (www.youtube.com)

With a comparison between apartheid South Africa and the Israel/Palestine conflict, this doc traces the future of one conflict from the past of another. Weaving the history of apartheid into the complex issues facing Israelis and Palestinians, it highlights the frighteningly similar laws and tools used by Israel and apartheid-era South Africa. It's a dark picture of the present but offers hope based on the peace that South Africa eventually found.

Excellent video, really hopeful and uplifting message by the end. It is possible to end Apartheid, great motivation from the ANC speakers who spoke of the hope of unification.

Yes it was hard to watch at times but it really shines a light on the suffering inflicted on the Palestinian people. I'd love to see a peaceful solution in my lifetime. Ideally a shared state welcoming of everyone similar to SA and Northern Ireland.

I really liked how the ANC speakers didn't focus on blame, but focused on the path forward. That kind of hope and optimism is really refreshing in today's discourse.

And they're clearly not pie in the sky wishful thinkers either, since they already done it and live through it and are speaking of personal experiences.
