The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora welcomes Amnesty International’s report into practices by #ApartheidIsrael in the occupied Palestinian territories. Thread ⤵️⤵️ 
The ministry said in a statement that this is a significant report that detailed and explored the Israeli racial segregation system and racist practices against the Palestinian people. [1/7]
“Amnesty thus joins a long list of organisations and Israeli and Palestinian experts of human rights in denouncing Israel’s colonialist system, which is founded on coercion of the Palestinian people and designed to legitimise a colonialist settlement enterprise.” [2/7]
This “horrendous criminal reality and impunity cannot be ignored or denied any further by the international community”, added the ministry. [3/7]
“Allowing these barbaric practices against the Palestinian people to continue without consequences is a betrayal of the values and principles of human rights" [4/7]
"[This betrayal] will reflect negatively on the rights and lives of victims all over the world and will undermine the global struggle for justice.” [5/7]
The statement added that the UN General Assembly and Security Council must look into the evidence and data provided to bring #Israel to accountability, consider imposing sanctions and treat Israel’s Apartheid as a crime against humanity. [6/7]
The Palestinian people will remain committed to their right to combat and resist all forms of occupation and colonialism until justice is achieved and their inalienable rights of self-determination, return, freedom and independence are upheld. [7/7]
