The 39 key Constituent Elements which defined Historic Apartheid in South Africa over the 22 years from 1949 to 1970 inclusive, during which it was gradually developed and extended by the minority, whites-only regime of the Afrikaner *National Party*, which first came to power in 1948.

Any impartial, objective, evidence-based comparison of the State of Israel since its foundation in May, 1948, can only conclude not only that it does not, and never has, incorporated all 39 key features of Historic Apartheid, but that in fact, it does not now, and never has embodied even ONE of those 39 defining features of the racist white South African Apartheid system.
