“West's critique of the apartheid in South Africa got him in hot water with Harvard many years ago”

That seems surprising. All I could find was when he got arrested at Yale during an anti-apartheid protest. Have a link?

Israel’s illegal settlements in occupied territory should be condemned. But there is no apartheid in Israel, and the recent chanting of this term in anti-Israel contexts shows ignorance. Palestinian citizens in Israel have the same rights of citizenship as anyone else, and sit in parliament.
