Now, of course, we know there has been an end to apartheid in South Africa, but what excited me was seeing it in the context of history.

I didn't actually realise what apartheid meant. I'm probably a bit naive, but I thought it was more of a vague segregation, like on the beaches and buses.

I've never doubted that apartheid - because it was of itself fundamentally, intrinsically evil - was going to bite the dust eventually.

South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white.

In some respects, South African apartheid was more vicious than Israeli practices, and in some respects the opposite is true.

As a young woman, I attended Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg, South Africa, which was then not segregated. But I witnessed the weight of apartheid everywhere around me.

One can't erase the tremendous burden of apartheid in 10 years, 20 years, I believe, even 30 years.

It may be that apartheid brings such stupendous economic advantages to countries that they would sooner have apartheid than permit its destruction.

Israel is guilty of apartheid and persecution of the Palestinian people, both inside Israel and also in the Occupied Territories.
