Well, first of all, very few of those criticizing the settlements are willing to call Israel an apartheid state. And in demonstrating the apartheid nature of the state, it is key to note that these settlements are not for "Israeli citizens", they are for "Jews." So "inherent," yes, certainly. "Explicit"? More like "implicit," and even then, only once the connection is made between apartheid and what is going on. How many corporate media news reports have you read that talked about "new Jewish settlements" and included the words "racism" or "apartheid"? For myself, the answer is zero.
