Amnesty International kommer inom kort att ge ut en över 200 sidor lång rapport där Israel bland annat anklagas för apartheid.
Amnesty har så länge jag kommer ihåg varit väldigt fientligt inställd till Israel och kommit med flera förslag som om de hade förverkligats hade lett till den judiska statens utplåning.
Tyvärr Amnesty är inget att räkna med när det kommer till Israel!
"...The report denies Israel's right to exist of the nation-state of the Jewish people," the Foreign Ministry said as it called on the British-based group to rescind its 211-page report.
Amnesty's "extreme language and distortion of the historical context were intended to demonize Israel and pour fuel into the engines of anti-Semitism," the ministry said.
It obtained a copy of the report due out on Tuesday morning entitled “Israel’s Apartheid against Palestinians: Cruel System of Domination and Crime against Humanity...”
FM Lapid calls document set for release on Tuesday ‘delusional,’ says it ‘echoes the lies of terrorist organizations’; pro-Israel group says it is ‘tantamount to a blood libel’
A day before Amnesty International UK was set to release a report accusing Israel of apartheid, Israel called it “false, biased, and antisemitic” and accused the organization of endangering the safety of Jews around the world.
“Amnesty’s report effectively serves as a green light… to harm not only Israel, but Jews around the world,” read a statement Monday from the Foreign Ministry spokesman’s office.
The ministry said that Amnesty UK was “notorious for being corrupted by racism and xenophobia, and the organization’s secretary-general has previously accused Israel – with no basis or evidence – of murdering Arafat. It is not surprising that it took Amnesty eight years to back down from this serious and baseless accusation.”
Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said Monday that the rights group was no longer “a respected organization,”
“Today, it is precisely the opposite,” Lapid said in a video statement. “It isn’t a human rights organization, but just another radical organization which echoes propaganda without seriously checking the facts. Instead of seeking the truth, Amnesty echoes the same lies shared by terrorist organizations.”
