Chomsky called it worse than apartheid and that was in 2014

There is a documentary called roadmap to apartheid that compares side by side what happened in south Africa and what continues to happen everyday to the Palestinians.

I highly recommend it, it is hard to watch though.

As much as I agree, Chomsky is no trustworthy source on what is or isn't a genocide

The man has bent himself in so many knots denying what happened in the yugoslav wars that I'm pretty sure Bosnia would actively refuse to prosecute if someone shot the bastard in broad daylight in the middle of Sarajevo.
