There's no similar context because the Apartheid system that existed in South Africa has no resemblance to today's Israel.

In particular:

- There's no racial segregation laws; an Arab-Israeli can travel anywhere a Jewish-Israeli can. In fact, Arabic is an officially recognized language by the state of Israel, and throughout the country, every public service has signs in Arabic alongside Hebrew.

- Jews are not a minority in Israel, they comprise 78% of the population.
