AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL’S recent report condemning Israel for “committing the crime of apartheid against Palestinians” is a damning indictment of the current Israeli government (and its predecessors), and its supporters around the world.
After carrying out research for four years, Amnesty concludes that “Israel enforces a system of oppression and domination against the Palestinian people wherever it has control over their rights,” including Palestinians living in Israel, the Occupied Palestinian Territories and displaced refugees in other countries.
Defining apartheid as “an institutionalised regime of oppression and domination by one racial group over another,” Amnesty explains Israel’s “massive seizures of Palestinian land and property, unlawful killings, forcible transfer, drastic movement restrictions, and the denial of nationality and citizenship to Palestinians are all components of a system which amounts to apartheid under international law.” This constitutes a “crime against humanity,” the human rights organisation notes.
