the israeli incorporation regime103 whether people identify themselves as Jewish citizens of Israel and Zionists.126 And continues to qualify her observation by stating that: Not all Jews, however, have exercised their privilege and acquired Israeli citizenship. Hence, not all people of Jewish faith can be considered part of one racial or ethnic group in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict …. [O]nly those who have voluntarily become Israeli citizens and adhere to Israel’s political ideology, Zionism, constitute the relevant ‘racial’ or ‘ethnic’ group in this context.127 Having identified the two racial or ethnic groups, Mac Allister points to the definition of apartheid in the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid (hereafter ‘Con­ vention on Apartheid’), adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1973. She explains that, in the Convention on Apartheid, an apartheid regime refers to “similar policies and practices of racial segregation and discrimination as practiced in southern Africa … [with] the purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group of persons over any other racial group of persons and systematically oppressing them.”128 While historically and politically associated with and based on the South African experience with apartheid, the definition of the crime of apartheid is not limited to the case of South Africa. Indeed, the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination further explained that while “the reference to apartheid may have been directed exclusively to South Africa … the article as adopted [condemning racial segregation and apartheid] prohibits all forms of racial segregation in all countries.”129 Drawing on Mac Allister’s argument, others point out that the fact that 126 Ibid. 127 Mac Allister notes, however, that: “While Jewish Israeli society can be considered complicit in the commission of the crime of apartheid through funding the state apparatus with their tax moneys, service in the Israeli military and other institutions involved in the commission of the crime, and otherwise, Jewish Israelis who have opposed Zionism and recognize Palestinian rights cannot be held to the same level of accountability.” She continues, writing that “A framework incorporating supporters of Zionism as guilty parties in the crime of apartheid also enables us to hold international actors who have supported the Zionist project, such as Christian Zionist groups, accountable for encouraging and cooperating with the racial group that has implemented the policies and practices constituting the crime of apartheid” (ibid.). 128 Ibid. 129 United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Forty-seventh session.
