This week, world leaders have gathered in New York for the 76th session of the United Nations general assembly, struggling to prove its continued relevance in a bruised world. The major themes so far have been the climate crisis, vaccinating the world against Covid-19 and the new regime in Afghanistan – and rightly so. But there is another issue that also demands our attention, where progress could restore faith in the general assembly’s ability to act: the deepening regime of Israeli Jewish supremacy over millions of Palestinians, which has been recognised by more and more observers as a regime of apartheid. We join many global leaders in calling for the general assembly to investigate this regime, and consequently take the necessary measures of accountability to dismantle it. Last year, in response to Israel’s plans to annex further land in the occupied Palestinian territory, we were joined by tens of Arab civil society leaders and diplomats in calling for sanctions against Israel and defending the right of Palestinians to engage in legitimate resistance, including through boycott, divestment and sanctions. This is to safeguard not just the inalienable rights of the people of Palestine, particularly to self-determination, but also the sanctity of the international rule of law. Advertisement Through its relentless annexation, and expansion of its absolute control over all of Palestine, Israel blatantly denies the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to existence and sovereignty in their own homeland. It also destroys the basis of any solution based on the tenets of international law, while further entrenching a legislative system of institutionalised discrimination, segregation, and inequality, through laws and policies, throughout the entirety of historic Palestine. This system meets the UN definition of apartheid. The Palestinian people – whether under occupation in Gaza and the West Bank, including Jerusalem, inside Israel or living as refugees and forced exiles – has waited for decades for the UN to implement the tens of resolutions it has adopted in support of Palestinian rights. Working to undo Israeli apartheid would give Palestinians, and every other community suffering from injustice around the world, hope that justice can indeed prevail.https://www.deviantart.com/top-of-movies/journal/Venom-2-Let-There-Be-Carnage-FuLLMOvie-Hd-QUALIT-893774867 https://www.deviantart.com/top-of-movies/journal/Venom-Let-There-Be-Carnage-893774873 https://www.deviantart.com/top-of-movies/journal/Venom-2-Full-Movie-Online-Watch-Free-893774876 https://www.deviantart.com/top-of-movies/journal/Download-Venom-2-Let-2021-Torrent-Movie-In-HD-YTS-893775087 https://www.deviantart.com/top-of-movies/journal/Venom-2-2021-FULL-MOVIE-WATCH-ONLINE-DOWNLOAD-HDRI-893775305 https://www.deviantart.com/top-of-movies/journal/WATCH-Venom-2-2021-HD-FULL-MOVIE-ONLINE-FREE-MOVIE-893775455 https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/f3b2c50c7c59d3f3214ae4f5edd39516224083c9d5506339fbaf46d0d01c26c5 https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/fb89387d5175b9592c78a56c5fec06be36c0aba7146c7ce0674fbf47c9d5e671 https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/c38589ad6a60d0f23427f3c92e1f7dae542f00da7b450b0110ee10478af30e47 https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/e1ade0ff30e69917d746c916fbdc7c0720bb7a7ac01bd252e109dd359ebe7ae5 https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/01a32aa9d1616928c823fd11262d8f0cbedddffe3477c3a569fc2c072d6614fe https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/ad0f09147044f5da9ff1492c8d14564e9fa8de0a8e278ab54854952833004f4b https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/4c134f3223c77a86dae5351c0f8e90703df6bf6824e65fcf51b61a37972201a2 https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/1adf60e95c56c07d8947690b77b648fc5b3211a8b600f3428b9cbef6735e2440 https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/c649a0c671ea71916334e2f490f21c3c10642ce44f0cb9647c045aa8ae8ebc53 https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/107474fe5135603ead95798969df6aadfc0ec6f12b96d20af51d14028dc69d60 https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/d1f31eb6ec48901bf349dc10ac27083f7d114d3aa2a2693bafdc39f337f5e29e https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/0d20975f516d1f92995e85ed9ac7bc0f8503774671e281cf82d582b532e52949 https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/3daee8db1680dd93e45176515f70cce1b2b9e7c9046c6cd0fe519603b1b79d6b https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/365c1ed77ac70f0f466428f49bd6010c07aa43a848d3bab7a8f2fbbbe08bdbd2 https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/a929fe90b655fa30b384ea335b2efbe0d5028af76e70d054aca97abaf3667b2b https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/e2feafd6df2ccd51fd70ecfc5ad2e8a7528f05a0f754b6ab30acfcfbb4ba784f https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/0f90ebe13c15cff73757960432adc786c250550dbc740354585ce13dbccedb5b https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/ecb58aa14a0aa7c8ab5422551cba95500f9825d4ccedfc2ade50b3a3b9b76439 https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/6ba268e0f8643567483fc06b446dddf6a11b1cc6b3ccd2b20271cb552b36b67f Apartheid anywhere is a crime against humanity, and states as well as the UN are responsible for abolishing it. The general assembly played a critical role in defeating apartheid in southern Africa, which it regarded as a threat to international security and a flagrant violation of the UN charter and the right to self-determination of peoples under colonial and foreign domination. It called on all states to sever military, economic, cultural and diplomatic relations with South Africa and established a special UN committee and centre to help eradicate apartheid. It is high time for the UN to do the same with Israel. Leading Palestinian organisations have for decades been condemning and documenting Israel’s perpetration of the crime of apartheid against the Palestinian people. In June 2020, 47 independent UN human rights experts authoritatively stated that Israeli government plans to illegally annex large parts of the occupied West Bank would constitute “a vision of a 21st-century apartheid”. Since July 2020, 10 former heads of state, more than 700 MPs, and scores of social and Indigenous peoples’ movements from across Asia, Africa and Latin America have joined the Global South Response, expressing support of Palestinian civil society’s call for a UN investigation of Israeli apartheid and for consequent targeted and lawful sanctions to end it. In January 2021, the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem published a damning report, titled, “A regime of Jewish supremacy from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea: This is apartheid.” In April 2021, Human Rights Watch published its own historic report, “A Threshold Crossed”, detailing how Israel’s policies against millions of Palestinians amount to the crimes against humanity of persecution and apartheid. The states of South Africa and Namibia, where people have successfully overcome apartheid, have recognised Israel as an apartheid regime and suggested UN mechanisms to investigate it. In June 2021 Ban Ki-moon, the former UN chief and vice-president of The Elders, also suggested that Israel is imposing apartheid on Palestinians, arguing that it is “conflict is between a powerful state, Israel, controlling Palestinians through ‘open-ended occupation’”. It is incumbent on the UN, then, to urgently investigate Israeli apartheid as a first step toward dismantling it. In the meanwhile, states are called upon to adopt effective accountability measures to show Israel that there are serious consequences to its violent and relentless violations of Palestinian rights and its disregard of the rule of law. Silence, vague diplomatic statements, or rhetorical condemnations will not deter Israel from continuing to methodically dispossess and oppress Palestinians. A serious riposte must involve a broad range of effective and targeted sanctions by the world community that has respect for international legality and human rights.
