Every single edit since this article was a redirect to Israel and the apartheid analogy was a violation of WP:A/I/PIA, namely the extended confirmed restriction. Ive reverted and requested protection. nableezy - 19:15, 9 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

This is a separate article from that one. This is about the system of apartheid itself, not the analogy. As I stated (while I edited as an IP and forgot to log in), I started this article modeled after the Uyghur genocide article, which has that title and not "China and the genocide analogy" (despite the charge of genocide being contentious). Apartheid is the WP:COMMONNAME of the human rights violations done by Israel, as reflected in the sources of this article (Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, B'Tselem). That article can focus on historical comparisons of Israel to South African apartheid, but this one is going to primarily focus on how the system of apartheid operates in Israel in the West Bank. I have worked on this article for hours and would appreciate it if you'd first discuss in this talk page before wiping all of my work. Thanks.--JasonMacker (talk) 19:23, 9 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

You are free to make that argument there, but you may not edit material related to the Arab-Israeli conflict topic area in the mainspace until you have 500 edits. You can copy your work to a sandbox in your userspace. But making the edit in article space violates WP:A/I/PIA. nableezy - 19:25, 9 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
