this is also why the jews granted citizenship to certain arabs, in the short term that was expedient because "hey having 20% arabs voting isn't a big deal and it will get people off our backs about racism" where as apartheid south africa didn't care about the short-term consquences of being called racist by not letting a few blacks vote because they realized that in the long term if they had to keep extending the black franchise they would eventually be outnumbers, and so the south africans resisted giving any blacks voting right at all. they took the short term pain of being called racist by everybody, which israel could avoid by having select arabs in particular areas voting, to avoid the long term problem of the blacks eventually out-voting them. south africa at the end of the cold war decided that with "communism" gone they might be able to get mandela to agree to a peaceful end to the apartheid system because at that time the south africans could see that the apartheid system was probably going to be bad long term as eventually they might not be able to maintain it and if it didn't end peacefully it would be a bloodbath. israel by contrast is aware that the apartheid of the palestinians is going to be a blood bath for them if it doesn't end peacefully, but they actually use the fact that jews think the palestinians are going to kill them to their advantage for the short term gain of getting every single jew to support keeping the palestinians repressed.  so the white apartheid and the jewish apartheid are characterized by two different kinds of thinking. south africa's longtermism actually lead them to decide that packing it up while they could was the better option, and so long term thinking actually made it last less time. this long term thinking of keeping the blacks out of everything rather than letting in token blacks was also actually bad in the long term because israel points to the binary of the system to say israel isn't an apartheid
