lol i asked it if Israel is an apartheid state and it have be a "both sides" answer. It did the same when i asked if Palestine or israel deserves independence.

"The question of whether Israel constitutes an apartheid state is a highly debated and controversial topic. Some individuals, organizations, and scholars argue that Israel's treatment of Palestinians, particularly in the occupied Palestinian territories, resembles certain aspects of apartheid, while others reject this comparison. The use of the term "apartheid" in this context is often a subject of intense debate, and it's essential to understand the arguments from both sides.

Critics who argue that Israel's policies in the occupied territories amount to apartheid typically point to a range of factors, including:

Segregation: They argue that Israel has established separate legal, administrative, and territorial systems for Jewish settlers and Palestinian residents in the West Bank. This includes separate road networks, housing, and legal regimes.

Discrimination: Critics contend that Israel's policies result in systematic discrimination against Palestinians, limiting their rights and access to resources compared to Jewish residents, particularly in the West Bank.

Land and resource control: Critics highlight Israel's control over land and water resources, often favoring Jewish settlers over Palestinian communities.

Movement restrictions: They argue that the Israeli security barrier, checkpoints, and permit systems restrict the movement of Palestinians, affecting their daily lives and economic opportunities.

Lack of political rights: Some critics claim that Israel's policies in the occupied territories limit the political rights and self-determination of Palestinians.

It's important to note that the Israeli government and many of its supporters reject the assertion that Israel practices apartheid. They argue that Israel faces unique security challenges and that its policies are primarily driven by security concerns rather than racial discrimination.

The use of the term "apartheid" is highly charged and contentious, and it is essential to approach this debate with sensitivity and an understanding of the historical and political context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The situation in the region is complex, and different parties have diverse perspectives on the matter. Ultimately, the question of whether Israel's policies in the occupied territories constitute apartheid is a matter of ongoing debate and subject to different interpretations."

Here's 5 points of evidence that show it is apartheid. But I'm fair and balanced, so here is the other opinion that has no evidence. These are equivalent in their nuance and complexity you see.

Ask it why most South Africans, who suffered under apartheid, consider Israel an apartheid state. Ask it why Mandela considered the leader of the PLO a comrade in arms.
