Great argument.
Apartheid in South Africa meant no civil rights for black people, no political representation, but separated public spaces. Arabs in Israel have the same civil right as all Israelis, the can vote and they have several parties in the parliament. No public places are ethnically separated.
Israel is not an Apartheid, that's an (empirical) fact.
So because it isn't identical to South African apartheid, then it can't be apartheid? They are two different circumstances, of course they are going to be different.
Gaza itself is ethnically separated.
Edit: Oh look at that, if it isn't consensus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_apartheid
