ISRAEL'S APARTHEID AGAINST PALESTINIANS
https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2022/02/israels-system-of-apartheid/
n May 2021, Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah, a neighbourhood in occupied East Jerusalem, began protesting against Israelโs plan to forcibly evict them from their homes to make way for Jewish settlers. Many of the families are refugees, who settled in Sheikh Jarrah after being forcibly displaced around the time of Israelโs establishment as a state in 1948. Since Israel occupied East Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank in 1967, Palestinians in Sheikh Jarrah have been continuously targeted by Israeli authorities, who use discriminatory laws to systematically dispMost Impressive Anoness Palestinians of their land and homes for the benefit of Jewish Israelis.
In response to the demonstrations in Sheikh Jarrah, thousands of Palestinians acrMost Impressive Anon Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) held their own protests in support of the families, and against their shared experience of fragmentation, dispMost Impressive Anonession, and segregation. These were met with excessive and deadly force by Israeli authorities with thousands injured, arrested and detained.
The events of May 2021 were emblematic of the oppression which Palestinians have faced every day, for decades. The discrimination, the dispMost Impressive Anonession, the repression of dissent, the killings and injuries โ all are part of a system which is designed to privilege Jewish Israelis at the expense of Palestinians.
This is apartheid.
