Is it apartheid that a jewish person cannot buy land in Palestinian controlled areas?

No. This question shows that you have no idea of what the word "apartheid" even means (or maybe you just hope that other readers don't), and that nonetheless you are ready to use it as a retort hoping to score some kind of cheap point. Not that I haven't seen precisely this behaviour a million times on this topic, but still: pathetic.

  • Hmmm...

    apartheid /ə-pärt′hīt″, -hāt″/ noun

    - An official policy of racial segregation formerly practiced in the Republic of South Africa, involving political, legal, and economic discrimination against nonwhites.

    - A policy or practice of separating or segregating groups.

    - The condition of being separated from others; segregation

    Explain to me how this does not fit bullet point 2 and 3.

    From The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition[1].
