The AI report – a major addition to previous reports on the subject – marks a new consensus, recognizing the fact that Israel employs a regime of Jewish supremacy between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. This is an essential step in the struggle to change this reality, towards a future where all people living here will enjoy justice, equality and respect for their human rights.
The panic sounded by Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Yair Lapid, as well as the false claims made by various Israeli “Hasbara” organizations, as if the report is an attempt to deny the State of Israel’s right to exist, reveal their stance – that a regime of Jewish supremacy is justifiable, and should be perpetuated. Yet, the demand for equality and for the protection of human rights for all, threatens only those opposed to these values. The claim that this demand causes them harm makes it abundantly clear which side they have chosen.
Leveling accusations of antisemitism against anyone who criticizes the Israeli regime – including against human rights organizations – is a manipulative assertion, that undermines the crucial global struggle against antisemitism and offends the memory of its victims throughout history.
