What the UN rapporteur has concluded has been no secret for quite a while, but some particular factors in the West (especially the US) have remained rather reluctant to name things with their true names - the reasons for which I'm leaving to the audience to analyze for themselves. The point is, even a brief look at the situation in the West Bank calls some stunning memories about the apartheid era, especially in someone who has actually seen it first-hand, even if for a brief period in her early life (thankfully). And, though the statement now comes directly from a UN official, I'm not surprised that I won't be seeing anyone holding their breath about any change in the situation coming any time soon.
