A community, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is "a unified body of individuals" who share a common interest, goal, or identity. Another definition available is- a particular area or place considered together with its inhabitants.

In this case we will be looking into the Palestinian apartheid that encompasses Israel. Here is a non-exhaustive list of communities that are affected by and influenced by this controversial topic.     Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza Israeli settlers in the West Bank Israeli citizens who support or oppose the occupation of Palestinian territories Jewish people around the world who have a connection to Israel or Palestine Muslim people...
