Was Einstein right about Israel?

Einstein predicted the modern apartheid of the Israeli state in 1948, his criticism and forewarning of the dangers inherent in the right-wing Zionism of parties such as Herut, of terrorism carried out in the name of Zionism, and of Israeli right-wing nationalism. The Herut (or freedom) party started by Manachem Begin was widely denounced as a fascist and terrorist organisation before being merged with other political parties to become Likud (or National Liberal Movement) the right-wing party in power for most of the last two decades. Likewise the terrorist groups that Einstein wrote about, Irgun and Lehi, are widely thought to have been forerunners to the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, with Irgun members known to have changed their names and go on to become Mossad agents. Having these elements that Einstein opposed reach such high and influential positions in the Israeli politics and security has clearly had the effect that Einstein feared (the imposition of a strict ID system, illegal settlements, separate roads for Israelis and Palestinians, military checkpoints, physical and economic blockades, as well as inequalities in rights, land, resources and infrastructure).
