Template:ApartheidMerges Hafrada (Template:Lang-he, separation). The term has been used to describe a policy of the Israeli government to separate the Palestinian population in the West Bank and Gaza Strip from the Israeli population, by means such as the Israeli West Bank barrier. The barrier is thus sometimes called geder ha'hafrada ("separation fence") in Hebrew. The word hafrada means "separation" in Hebrew, while the word apartheid means "apartness" in Afrikaans. Critics of the Israeli Government suggest that this similarity implies that the Israeli Government's policy towards the Palestinias and the South African Apartheid policy are equally unethical . Honest Reporting (UK), a media watchdog founded by the Orthodox Jewish outreach group Aish Hatorah, has described the comparison as "linguistic gymnastics".
