That's a redefinition of the word "apartheid". Probably done to use its emotional connotations.

"Comic version of Apartheid"?

Apartheid was an actual political system, implemented and practiced for years.

Much more that not being an "equal partner", it involved enforced legislation to classify people according to race and then to restrict rights based on that classification.

NOTE: I'm not weighing in on the Palestinian/Israeli issue here, but as someone who grew up under the Apartheid regime, I'm objecting to what I feel is misuse of the word.
