The 211-page report, titled “Israel’s Apartheid against Palestinians: Cruel System of Domination and Crime against Humanity,” is slated for release on Tuesday morning at a press conference.
In the report, Amnesty said that zionist is involved in a “widespread attack directed” against Palestinians that amounts to “the crime against humanity of apartheid.”
Amnesty, which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977, has previously condemned israeli policies in the occupied West Bank and accused it of committing war crimes during the 2014 aggression. But this report is the first time the group is officially using the term “apartheid” to describe it.
The Amnesty report follows a similar report from Human Rights Watch last April.
Human Rights Watch, which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997, issued its own lengthy report detailing Israel’s discrimination against the Palestinians.
But while the HRW report accused Israel of discriminating against Palestinians in all areas under its control but of practicing apartheid only in the areas beyond within the Green Line, the Amnesty report applies the term “apartheid” to the state’s internal operations as well. (ILKHA)
