If the people who lived under and struggled free of apartheid say "This is worse", the world needs to listen up and take note. South Africa was made a pariah state by the WHOLE WORLD because of Apartheid.

And what Israel is doing, according to those who lived it, is WORSE than what PW Botha et al did.

Members of a 23-strong human-rights team of prominent South Africans cited the 
  impact of the Israeli military's separation barrier, checkpoints, the permit 
  system for Palestinian travel, and the extent to which Palestinians are 
  barred from using roads in the West Bank.
