This is simply fiction and not true. Arabs in Israel are full equal citizens in every single way. And Gaza is a totally independent entity, and the West Bank Palestinians have full self autonomy, in internationally recognized agreements that the Palestinians have negotiated and signed themselves, delineating areas as Israel, and areas as the Palestinian Authority, where they govern themselves with joint security cooperation agreed to. It's an absurd comparison used by people who seek to do nothing but vilify Israel and simply not true.
I am not talking about the Arab Israelis, I am taking about the Palestinians.
You seem to be specifically referring to the Arab Israelis, is so that you can say Arab citizens have the same rights? They do.
I am referring to Palestinians who do not have that citizenship.
From Wikipedia
Arabs living in the
West Bank and
Gaza Strip, areas occupied by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War and deemed to be occupied territory under
international law, are under the civil control of the
Palestinian Authority, and are not Israeli citizens. In some areas of the West Bank, they are under Israeli security control.
In 2007, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination reported that Palestinians and Israeli settlers in the occupied territories are subject to different criminal laws, leading to longer detention and harsher punishments for Palestinians than for Israelis for the same offenses.
[76]Amnesty International has reported that in the West Bank, Israeli settlers and soldiers who engage in abuses against Palestinians, including unlawful killings, enjoy "impunity" from punishment and are rarely prosecuted. However Palestinians detained by Israeli security forces may be imprisoned for prolonged periods of time, and reports of their torture and other ill-treatment are not credibly investigated.

Chris McGreal,
The Guardian's former chief Israel correspondent, compared Israel's
Population Registry Law of 1965, which requires all residents of Israel to register their nationality, to South Africa's Apartheid-era
Population Registration Act, which categorized South Africans according to racial definitions in order to determine who could live in what land. According to McGreal, the Israeli identification cards determine where people are permitted to live, affects access to some government welfare programs, and has impact on how people are likely to be treated by civil servants and policemen.

In 2006,
Chris McGreal of
The Guardianstated that as a result of the government's control over most of the land in Israel, the vast majority of land in Israel is not available to non-Jews.
[84] In 2007 in response to a 2004 petition filed by Adalah, the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, Attorney General
Menachem Mazuz ruled that the policy was discriminatory, it has been ruled that the JNF must sell land to non-Jews, and will be compensated with other land for any such land to ensure that the overall amount of Jewish-owned land in Israel remains unchanged.

Here, you can read it all as listed, it even gives a counter argument.

If the word offends you we can find another one, but the similarities are quite striking between apartheid South Africa and Israel as it is currently.
