Far from it, Israel has used that as an excuse for every act of apartheid and land grab ever since. The rest of the world has acquiesced to Israel in collective shame for its silence before 1948. Netanyahu and his predecessors have capitalized on that shame while committing micro versions of what the Nazis perfected. If the USA had sanctioned Israel for the same policies that applied to South Africa the current situation would probably not exist.
Selective recollection of sections of an historical timeline may be convenient for your argument but hardly a solid foundation on which to argue that the current Israeli government is any better or different than those other apartheid regimes. The current policy of crying antisemitism every time a legitimate criticism of Israeli war crimes is made only fuels the flames that lead to the atrocity that lead to today’s atrocities and provides Hamas and Netanyahu with job security for generations to come.
