- The apartheid wall is a similarly controversial term used by the same critics to describe the Israeli West Bank barrier, currently under construction.
- Global apartheid is the view that rich democratic Western nations are acting in much the same way as white South Africa, by exploiting or ignoring the plight of people in developing countries. [1]
