FYI: Amnesty International Calls Israel’s Treatment of Palestinians 'Apartheid'
Amnesty says Israel has maintained 'a system of oppression and domination' over Palestinians.
FYI
Amnesty International said Tuesday that Israel has maintained “a system of oppression and domination” over the Palestinians going all the way back to its establishment in 1948, one that meets the international definition of apartheid.
Amnesty International says Israel has maintained “a system of oppression” over the Palestinians, joining Human Rights Watch and others in accusing Israel of apartheid — both within its borders and in the occupied territories. By @josephkrauss.
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.

Apartheid is deprivation.
Apartheid is segregation.
Apartheid is fragmentation.
Apartheid is dispossession.
Israel’s apartheid over Palestinians is a crime against humanity.
Today, Amnesty International becomes the third major human rights organisation to describe Israel as an apartheid state – a sign that international sentiment is turning against its oppression of Palestinians.
“Whether Palestinians live in Gaza, East Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank, or 'Israel' itself, Palestinians are treated as an inferior racial group and systematically deprived of their rights.”
