I've been saying that Israel is an apartheid state for years, but I don't think the American government really cares about that. In a moment they could make Israel grow up and treat the Palestinians with respect, but instead funnel billions of non-existent US money into Israel and pet projects like....the Ukraine. If it is an apartheid state then quit funding it, otherwise America clearly supports apartheid. The US pays lip service to democracy, but has close ties with Saudi Arabia and has corporate fascism domestically. The Ukraine conflict is kind of ironic as the US resembles communist Russia far more than present day Russia does. It is a domestic economic apartheid state run by corporatism at the expense of a general population that gets poorer year by year. We should ignore what John Kerry says as he is like a dinosaur wandering around roaring to non-plussed other dinosaurs a short time before the comet hits the earth.
