Israel’s apartheid over Palestinians is a crime against humanity. There is no place for it in a world that upholds equality and the right to live with dignity. To uphold human rights everywhere, we must end apartheid rule over millions of Palestinians. #EndIsraeliApartheid ✊

1/5 The @amnesty Israeli apartheid report demonstrates a seismic shift in the human rights world of addressing the oppression of the Palestinian people in their entirety- not just the West Bank & Gaza. Using decades of research & testimonies of lived Palestinian realities...
