TAKE ACTION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS

END APARTHEID AGAINST PALESTINIANS BY THE GOVERNMENT OF ISRAEL

Millions of Palestinians live under a system of oppression that deliberately holds them in inferior status to Jewish Israelis. Amnesty’s report concludes that this mistreatment amounts to apartheid. Apartheid must end.

Apartheid is a crime against humanity under international law. It is committed when specific serious human rights violations are perpetrated with the intent of maintaining a system of prolonged and cruel discriminatory control of one racial group by another.

Our research confirms that the government of Israel has created and maintains these types of laws, policies, and practices that deliberately oppress Palestinians. This includes seizures of property and policies that make it impossible for many Palestinians to build homes. Additional violations include unlawful killing and serious injury, torture, forcible transfer, persecution, and the denial of many other basic rights and freedoms.

Amnesty's report is based on years of research and human rights legal analysis. Amnesty International does not take sides in conflicts anywhere in the world, nor do we support or oppose any government, group, political party, or ideology.

Our human rights concerns are about the policies, laws, and actions of the government of Israel, not the Jewish people. It is crucial not to conflate legitimate criticism of crimes under international law committed by the government of Israel with antisemitism. As an anti-racist organization, we staunchly oppose discrimination, racism, and hate crimes in all forms.

Take action: Send your letter directly to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu now.

As a first step, we're urging Prime Minister Netanyahu to cancel all orders for forced evictions and home demolitions against Palestinians, and to end forced displacement of Palestinians.

Prime Minister Netanyahu,

I am writing to you as a human rights defender and supporter of Amnesty International to express my deep concern about the millions of Palestinians who live under the Israeli government’s system of apartheid and especially those at risk of losing their homes.
I’m alarmed by the findings in Amnesty International’s new report that confirms the government of Israel has created and maintains laws, policies, and practices that deliberately oppress Palestinians and amount to apartheid. 
I urge you to show respect for human rights and international laws and standards by taking these concrete actions to protect the human rights of the Palestinian people:

- Immediately cancel all orders for forced evictions and home demolitions against Palestinians in Israel and the Occupied Territories;

- End the forced displacement of Palestinians;

- End all laws, policies and practices that deliberately oppress the Palestinian people across Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and which deny them basic human rights.

The government of Israel has forcibly displaced entire Palestinian communities and demolished hundreds of thousands of Palestinians’ homes, causing terrible trauma and suffering. Over 6 million Palestinians remain as refugees and today at least another 150,000 are at risk of losing their homes within the OPT.

Israel’s system of deliberate oppression of Palestinians constitutes a legal definition of apartheid under international law, and that must end. This system includes racist seizures of property, and planning laws and policies that make it impossible for many Palestinians to build homes. Your government’s policies allow for mass demolitions of homes built without a permit, which is routinely denied for Palestinians.

This is unacceptable.

I am directing these human rights concerns at the policies, laws, and actions of the government of Israel, not the Jewish people. I stand against antisemitism in the strongest possible terms, as well as any and all discrimination, racism, and hate crimes targeted at anyone.

I hope you’ll take my message – along with that of tens of thousands of others – seriously. I implore you to cancel all orders for forced evictions and home demolitions immediately.

The world is watching.

Sincerely,
