Human Rights Watch, a New York-based NGO, has issued a report of over 200 pages entitled, “A Threshold Crossed: Israeli Authorities and the Crimes of Apartheid and Persecution.” The report explains that Israel has the “intent to maintain the domination of Jewish Israelis over Palestinians across Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory. In the OPT, including East Jerusalem, the intent has been coupled with systematic oppression of Palestinians and inhumane acts committed against them. When these three elements occur together, they amount to the crime of apartheid.” https://www.hrw.org/sites/default/files/media_2021/04/israel_palestine0421_web_0.pdf
Although White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki stated that “as to the question of whether Israel’s actions constitute apartheid, that is not the view of the administration,” leaders of the South African liberation movement have told a different story.
