HUMAN rights organisations in Israel have condemned “vicious attacks” on Amnesty International following its declaration that Tel Aviv’s treatment of the Palestinians amounts to apartheid.
Fourteen organisations, including B’Tselem, Breaking the Silence and Combatants for Peace, issued a joint statement today calling on the Israeli government to “stop its oppressive and discriminatory practices and its dangerous game of defamation and disinformation.”
On Tuesday, Amnesty became the latest human rights group to accuse Israel of apartheid, publishing a report detailing how Israel’s authorities have created a system of oppression and domination of the Palestinians.
