Human Rights Watch has accused Israel of promoting apartheid and persecution practices against Palestinians;

Human Rights Watch has accused Israel of promoting apartheid and persecution practices against Palestinians. According to Omar Shakir, the watchdog’s Israel and Palestine chairman is the starkest conclusion. HRW has made on Israeli actions in 30 years. The 213-page report claims that Israel is practicing “apartheid” by attempting to preserve Jewish dominance over Palestinians and its Arab community. The allegations have dismissed by Israel’s Foreign Ministry as “both preposterous and baseless.”

The alleged abuses include Israel’s handling of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. The blockaded Gaza Strip, and annexed east Jerusalem, a phrase referring to Palestinians who remained on their land after Israel’s establishment in 1948. The study has based on years of human rights documentation, an overview of Israeli legislation. A compilation of government preparation records, and official statements. It explained the “present-day fact of a single authority, the Israeli government methodologically favoring Jewish Israelis while repressing Palestinians, most severely in occupied territories.”

The injustice of Palestinians has crossed a threshold and a permanence that fits the meanings of segregation and genocide said HRW executive director Ken Roth. While the word “apartheid” has used to describe South Africa’s racial oppression of non-white people. The study stated that a “universally accepted legal term” that describes crimes against humanity under international law.

Apartheid is described as “an attempt to preserve dominance by one ethnic group over another.  Human Rights Watch has urged the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate and try people who are involved in apartheid and persecution. The International Criminal Court (ICC) announced last month that. It would prosecute war crimes in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. Israel has confirmed that it would not comply with the investigation.

Tensions between Jews and Palestinians have risen after a video of an attack. An ultra-Orthodox Israeli man on a Jerusalem tram surfaced last week. Later, two Arab criminals apprehended. However, The attack has seen as a reaction to the continuing expulsion of 550 Palestinians from the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood. About 300 far-right Jewish demonstrators marched toward the Old City. Shouting “Death to Arabs.” Threatening to burn down Palestinian neighborhoods and forcefully removing Arab families from their homes. Other footage captured Jewish teenagers targeting an Arab home in the Old City. Extremist Jews have seen stopping cars to see whether they contain Jews or Arabs. Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh described the anti-Palestinian rioting in Jerusalem as “state terror.”
