Politicians from both parties criticized Secretary of State John Kerry on Monday for saying Israel was at risk of becoming an apartheid state if the nation did **t agree to a two-state solution with Palestine.
“A two-state solution will be clearly underscored as the only real alternative," Kerry said, according to the Daily Beast (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/04/27/exclusive-kerry-warns-israel-could-become-an-apartheid-state.html).*"Because a unitary state winds up either being an apartheid state with second-class citizens—or it ends up being a state that destroys the capacity of Israel to be a Jewish state.”
Kerry made the remark in front of world leaders during a supposedly private Trilateral Commission meeting in Washington, D.C. on April 25, but a Daily Beast reporter recorded (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/04/27/exclusive-kerry-warns-israel-could-become-an-apartheid-state.html) the speech.*The comparison references the system of racial segregation that was present in South Africa until 1994. Palestinians and Israelis have engaged in armed conflict (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/middle_east/03/v3_ip_timeline/html/1948.stm) since Israel become a nation in 1948, displacing many Palestinians, many of whom want a nation of their own.
