Applying the law by ethnicity: Israel’s dual legal systems explained
In the occupied West Bank, everyone is subject to Israeli military law. Unless, of course, you’re an Israeli settler. The dual legal systems — separate laws and court systems for different people in the same territory — are one of the reasons some refer to Israel’s occupation as apartheid. Video by Tal Frieden.
