Merriam-Webster withdraws Israel from examples of apartheid – Earlier in 2020, an activist encouraged the dictionary to alter the definition of the term ‚racism‘ | i24NEWS
The Merriam-Webster dictionary was argued into a climbdown this week, after a Jewish reader – among others – objected to the use of Israel as an example of the term „apartheid.“
In a Twitter campaign, the protester alerted the dictionary to what they considered an egregious example of the apartheid term and its linkage with Israel, when more traditionally it has been linked with the official policy of the former South African government, which institutionalized the system between 1948-1994.
