(COMMENT)Academic experts believe that Middle East politics are actually getting worse
Why do you even respond to him? If Israel relinquished ALL territories and went back to 67 Borders he would still make that claim, Just sit back and enjoy the fact he can’t stand that Israel even existsRE: Israeli Apartheid
SUBTOPIC: Survey The project was initiated in early 2021
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
While the headline extension reads "Nearly two-thirds of our recent survey group think the Israeli-Palestinian situation is akin to apartheid" → the Survey (which initially contacted 1290 experts) only had 557 respondents. That means that more than half did not give consider the survey worthy of a response. Or put another way only ≈ 240 respondents of the original 1290 surveyed "think the Israeli-Palestinian situation is akin to apartheid."
These stats can be mixed, twisted, or presented in any way they want, in order to support the impression they want to give.

(COMMENT)
.
There is no current investigation underway by the UN International Criminal Court (ICC) concerning allegations of Apartheid. This suggestions that the UN ICC is - or - has pursued such an action is old news (more than a year old.
On 3 MAR 2021: The ICC opened a investigation concerning Crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court that are alleged to have been committed in the Situation since 13 June 2014, the date to which reference is made in the Referral of the Situation to the Office of the Prosecutor. This is an open ended investigation. The investigation covers both the actions of the Israelis and the actions of the Palestinians. This is an open-ended processes with no end date. It may close tomorrow or it may never close.
And important point the "survey of experts" did not make clear is that the International Criminal Code stipulates that:
• The definition of a crime shall be strictly construed and shall not be extended by analogy. In case of ambiguity, the definition shall be interpreted in favour of the person being investigated, prosecuted or convicted.
For the life of me, I cannot explain the tumultuous response is all about.
