Human Rights Watch accuses Israel of committing crimes of apartheid

International

An international leading human rights watchdog has accused the Israeli authorities of committing crimes of apartheid against Palestinians.

The New York-based Human Rights Watch published a 213-page report on Tuesday titled “A Threshold Crossed: Israeli Authorities and the Crimes of Apartheid and Persecution,” which examines Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. The finding in HRW’s report is based on an overarching Israeli government policy to maintain the domination by Jewish Israelis over Palestinians and grave abuses committed against Palestinians living in the occupied territory, including East Jerusalem,” the group said in a statement released Tuesday.

Drawing on years of human rights documentation, case studies, and a review of government planning documents, statements by officials, and other sources, Human Rights Watch compared policies and practices toward Palestinians in the occupied territory and Israel with those concerning Jewish Israelis living in the same areas.

“Prominent voices have warned for years that apartheid lurks just around the corner if the trajectory of Israel’s rule over Palestinians does not change,” said Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch.

“This detailed study shows that Israeli authorities have already turned that corner and today are committing the crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution.”
