In the contemporary analysis of the <a href=\"..\/Israeli-Palestinian-Conflict\/\">Israeli-Palestinian Conflict<\/a>, the term has been employed by several <a href=\"..\/Human-Rights\/\">Human Rights<\/a> organizations. In 2021, the Israeli group <a href=\"..\/B'Tselem\/\">B'Tselem<\/a> released a landmark report titled 'A regime of Jewish supremacy from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea: This is apartheid,' which argues that the legal and social framework of <a href=\"..\/Israel\/\">Israel<\/a> is designed to promote the interests of one group over another (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.btselem.org\/publications\/fulltext\/202101_this_is_apartheid\">Source: B'Tselem<\/a>). This discourse often cites the <a href=\"..\/Nation-State-Law\/\">Nation-State Law<\/a> of 2018, which constitutionally defines <a href=\"..\/Israel\/\">Israel<\/a> as the nation-state of the <a href=\"..\/Jewish-People\/\">Jewish People<\/a> and prioritizes Jewish settlement as a national value.<\/p><p>In the field of <a href=\"..\/Sociology\/\">Sociology<\/a>, researchers examine how ethnonationalist structures can create systemic inequalities. Reports by <a href=\"..\/Human-Rights-Watch\/\">Human Rights Watch<\/a> and <a href=\"..\/Amnesty-International\/\">Amnesty International<\/a> have also utilized this conceptual framework, alleging that Israeli policies in the <a href=\"..\/Occupied-Palestinian-Territories\/\">Occupied Palestinian Territories<\/a> constitute a system of <a href=\"..\/Apartheid\/\">Apartheid<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/report\/2021\/04\/27\/threshold-crossed\/israeli-authorities-and-crimes-apartheid-and-persecution\">Source: Human Rights Watch<\/a>).<\/p><p>Conversely, the term has a history of use in <a href=\"..\/Antisemitic\/\">Antisemitic<\/a> propaganda. Far-right extremists and <a href=\"..\/White-Supremacist\/\">White Supremacist<\/a> figures, such as <a href=\"..\/David-Duke\/\">David Duke<\/a>, have long used the phrase 'Jewish Supremacism' to propagate <a href=\"..\/Conspiracy-Theories\/\">Conspiracy Theories<\/a> regarding global Jewish dominance. The <a href=\"..\/Anti-Defamation-League\/\">Anti-Defamation League<\/a> (ADL) identifies this specific usage as a means of masking racial prejudice with the language of social justice (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adl.org\/resources\/backgrounder\/antisemitism-and-jewish-supremacy-claims\">Source: ADL<\/a>).<\/p><p>Theological debates regarding the <a href=\"..\/Chosen-People\/\">Chosen People<\/a> in <a href=\"..\/Judaism\/\">Judaism<\/a> also intersect with this topic. While mainstream <a href=\"..\/Jewish-Theology\/\">Jewish Theology<\/a> views chosenness as a covenant of ethical responsibility, critics of <a href=\"..\/Religious-Zionism\/\">Religious Zionism<\/a> and the <a href=\"..\/Settler-Movement\/\">Settler Movement<\/a> argue that extremist interpretations can be used to justify territorial expansion and exclusionary social hierarchies.<\/p><ul><li><a href=\"..\/Zionism\/\">Zionism<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"..\/Apartheid\/\">Apartheid<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"..\/Ethnonationalism\/\">Ethnonationalism<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"..\/Antisemitism\/\">Antisemitism<\/a><\/li><\/ul>",
