Jordanian MPs Urge Branding Israel as Apartheid Regime

Jordanian MPs Urge Branding Israel as Apartheid Regime

Alwaght- Twenty-five Jordanian lawmakers have signed a memorandum, asking human rights organizations as well as Arab and international parliaments to brand Israel as an apartheid regime.

The letter, undersigned by 25 legislators, calls on the bodies to back up the Amnesty International’s new report, which says the Tel Aviv regime is carrying out “the crime of apartheid against Palestinians” and must be held accountable for treating them as “an inferior racial group”.

The memorandum also stressed that Palestine is the top issue of Jordan, Arab countries and the Muslim world.

The Jordanian lawmakers further noted that Arab countries should expose the nature of the occupying Israeli regime and follow up the issue in international bodies.

Last week, at least 277 human rights groups and civil society organizations denounced Israeli authorities for enforcing a system of oppression and domination against Palestinians.

The organizations, which come from 16 Arab countries as well as six European and Latin American states, demanded in a joint statement the trial of Israeli authorities involved in perpetration of genocide, war crimes and racial discrimination against Palestinians.

They condemned Israel’s racist practices against Palestinians and its treatment of the latter as an inferior racial group, and called for the launch of a campaign to put an ultimate end to the regime’s apartheid actions.

The human rights organizations also urged punitive measures, including travel bans and asset freezing, against Israeli military officials besides arms embargoes against the Tel Aviv regime.

They called upon the International Criminal Court (ICC) to include apartheid crimes in the Occupied Palestinian Territory in its future investigations.

The organizations then voiced support for pro-Palestinian groups that document and expose Israel’s atrocities and racism, above all the international Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

The BDS movement, which is modeled after the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, was initiated in 2005 by over 170 Palestinian organizations that were pushing for “various forms of boycott against Israel until it meets its obligations under international law.”

Thousands of volunteers worldwide have since then joined the BDS movement, which calls for people and groups across the world to cut economic, cultural, and academic ties to Tel Aviv, to help promote the Palestinian cause.
