‘NYT’ and UN Security Council platform apartheid charge against Israel

It goes without saying that Jewish voices have greater weight on the Israel question in the U.S. discourse, and that Zionist voices even greater weight. Well, on Thursday and Friday this week, two leading Jewish former Zionists granted credibility to the apartheid charges against Israel– in the New York Times and at the UN Security […]

“Neutrality is not a faithful response”: churches call Israeli apartheid by its name

Today we are witness to what can only be described as the unstoppable momentum of church opposition to Israel’s program of discrimination, dispossession, and ethnic cleansing.

CHOMSKY ON ISRAELI APARTHEID, CELEBRITY ACTIVISTS, BDS AND THE ONE-STATE SOLUTION

Chomsky believes that calling Israeli policies towards Palestinians “apartheid” is actually a “gift to Israel”, at least, if by apartheid one refers to the South-African style apartheid. JULY 5TH, 2022 RAMZY BAROUD This is, according to the Italian socialist Antonio Gramsci, the ‘interregnum’- the rare and seismic moment in history when great transitions occur, when […]

Israeli Apartheid: The power of the frame, the shame of the name

Even a scholar who opposes the label says, “Israel does not have a case against apartheid.” That is the power of the apartheid framing. The label for Israel has gained broad acceptance because of the widening awareness of the death of the Two State Solution — that Israel never really wanted a legitimate, contiguous Palestinian state. […]

Tom Friedman normalizes apartheid in the ‘New York Times’

NYT columnist Tom Friedman painted the past year in Israel—the first Netanyahu-free year since 2008—as an icon of democracy, where Israeli Jews and Palestinian citizens of Israel danced together under the blue and white flag, in harmony and happiness. That is a contemptible piece of fiction which erases apartheid, blames Palestinians for their own ongoing […]

I won’t cut the baby in half, Bennett declares– and the baby is apartheid

Support for apartheid is the one thing that unifies Israeli Jewish parties.

‘Apartheid in action’: The danger of Israel’s new West Bank travel restrictions

Coming soon if a Palestinian-American wants to travel to the occupied West Bank to visit their family, they will need to apply to the Israeli government for advanced permission, reveal the personal information of the relatives they plan on visiting, along with data of any land they own or stand to inherit in the territory. These […]

Berkeley’s progressive mayor parties in apartheid state

By taking off on a nine-day junket to Israel, Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin not only shirked his responsibilities to city residents, but also made a mockery of his own progressive pretensions and the city’s proud tradition of opposition to apartheid. Arreguin didn’t dare mention the trip on twitter, though others on the Israel lobby-sponsored junket […]

Why Amnesty had no choice but to recognise that Israel is an apartheid state

When Amnesty International finally recognised the reality that Israel is an apartheid state back in February, I was invited on the excellent radio show By Any Means Necessary to talk about it. You can listen to my segment in the clip above, or hear the whole two-hour show on Radio Sputnik’s website (which is being […]

Call It Apartheid

Here at Mondoweiss we’ve been calling the Israeli regime apartheid almost since we started publishing. And of course Palestinians have known it, and been saying it, from the very beginning. Can you help make sure Mondoweiss can continue to publish the unvarnished truth, early and often? Finally, the mainstream human rights world has started to […]

Harvard Law School ‘apartheid’ report leaves Israel’s defenders speechless

In case you missed it, Harvard Law School’s International Human Rights Clinic (IHRC) lately issued a report that finds Israel’s treatment of Palestinians on the West Bank amounts to the crime of apartheid. The study, “Apartheid in the Occupied West Bank: A Legal Analysis of Israel’s Actions” came out on February 28 in the wake […]

I know Israel practices apartheid because I helped enforce it

I am a Jew.  I am an Israeli citizen.  I am a veteran of a combat unit in the Israeli army. I left Israel in 2001 and immigrated to Canada where I became a Canadian citizen because I felt that I could no longer be a part of a system that practices apartheid against the […]

Yet another ‘apartheid’ report builds pressure on liberal Zionists to recognize ‘lived reality’ of Palestinians

Yesterday news broke that yet another organization determined that Israel’s rule over Palestinians constitutes “apartheid,” this time a report from the Special Rapporteur to the UN Human Rights Council. The Israeli government now “fears an ‘unprecedented’ effort to push the apartheid label,” Haaretz says— a wave Israel’s foreign minister predicted a few months ago. Much to […]

The Zionist left provides the ‘laundry’ for Israeli apartheid — Gideon Levy

Gideon Levy’s speech saying that the Zionist left enables apartheid in Israel by providing a laundry to war crimes was a highlight of the Israel lobby conference staged at the National Press Club on Friday.

Another North American church denomination sees apartheid in Israel

Pointing to the rapidly deteriorating situation in Palestine/Israel, leaders of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada issued a Pastoral Letter Wednesday, writing, “Israeli policies and practices that discriminate against Palestinians—Christians and Muslims alike—are consistent with the international definition of the crime of apartheid.” “The continuing occupation, denial of rights, […]

Blind to apartheid, Tom Friedman offers Israel as model for U.S. democracy

Tom Friedman really is stupendous. He’s like some impresario at a vaudeville who goes out every night with the same patter for 50 years, and the same lineup of tired stars, the fireeater and the tattooed lady and the little person standing on the horse. Except in Friedman’s case the act isn’t even faintly entertaining. […]

Lapid called the apartheid appraisal […]

Tutu’s courage on Israeli apartheid is played down in obits in NYT, Washington Post and NPR

The Guardian has published an important eulogy to the late Desmond Tutu by Chris McGreal, saying what so many in the Palestinian solidarity community are saying: After fighting apartheid in South Africa, Tutu used his stature to call out apartheid in Israel and Palestine, and he paid a large price for doing so. Indeed, opposing […]

How Tutu, de Klerk, and Mandela would end Israeli Apartheid

With the December 26, 2021, death of Bishop Desmond Tutu, six weeks after the November 11, 2021, death of Frederik Willem de Klerk, and seven years after the December 5, 2013, passing of Nelson Mandela (December 5, 2013), the world lost the three Nobel Peace Prize winning heroes who ended South African Apartheid.
