Like their U.S. counterparts, Australian senators from both sides of the aisle have jointly rejected Amnesty International’s recent report accusing Israel of engaging in “apartheid.”
“Our report reveals the true extent of Israel’s apartheid regime. Whether they live in Gaza, East Jerusalem, and the rest of the West Bank, or Israel itself, Palestinians are treated as an inferior racial group and systematically deprived of their rights,” Agnès Callamard, secretary general of Amnesty International (AI), said in a statement.
