Netanyahu is running for reelection by saying there is “one state” between the river and the sea in which Jews and Arabs work together. He’s solidifying the apartheid reality under the nose of the Biden administration, which says pointedly that it won’t be undertaking negotiations because Israeli Palestinian trust is at a “nadir”.

Liberal Zionist groups have all but ignored B’Tselem’s bombshell report stating that Israel is an apartheid regime. And no wonder, the report impugns the progressive credentials of any organization that calls itself pro-Israel, and apartheid demands use of a tool liberal Zionists have rejected as allegedly antisemitic, BDS.

What happens when B’Tselem, an Israeli NGO, has effectively described the State of Israel as a racist endeavor? Thanks to B’Tselem’s apartheid report, British Jewish groups that seek to display progressive or radical outlook appear tame, weak, their courage lacking.

Liberal Zionists say there are 2 regimes in Israel and West Bank, and apartheid in the West Bank doesn’t undermine democracy in Israel. It’s a fiction, Nathan Thrall shows in London Review of Books. Israel’s discriminations against Palestinians demonstrate there has been an apartheid policy in Israeli government since 1948.

Israel’s Education Minister announced a ban this week on human rights groups from entering Israeli public schools, a move seen by many as a response to a bombshell report from B’Tselem calling Israel an “apartheid state”. But it didn’t stop the organization from speaking to 12th grade students at the Hebrew Reali School in Haifa this past Sunday. “The Israeli government will have to contend with us until the apartheid regime ends,” B’Tselem director Hagai El-Ad tweeted.

Last week, Israel’s leading human rights group, B’Tselem, declared for the first time that Israel is an apartheid regime, a move that sent shock waves around the globe. But so far neither the New York Times or Washington Post have reported on it.

Palestinian human rights organization Al-Haq is calling on the Pfizer pharmaceutical company to ensure that its COVID-19 vaccine is being used and distributed without discrimination, expressing concerns that Israel is using the company’s vaccine “to further entrench” injustices against Palestinians living under occupation.

B’Tselem’s finding that Israel is an apartheid regime and Israel’s banning of the film “Jenin Jenin” sends Dr. Hatim Kanaaneh back to his wrenching visit to the scene of the Jenin massacre a month afterward in 2002.

Norman Finkelstein responds to B’Tselem’s designation of Israel as an “apartheid regime” saying that the aspect of Israeli rule that most manifests its Jewish supremacist character is the worthlessness it attaches to Palestinian life. And this is the most effective label– insisting on characterizing Israel as a Jewish supremacist state.

Israeli authorities are failing to provide essential information on the vaccine in Arabic, to establish vaccine centers in Palestinian neighborhoods in East Jerusalem, and to provide sufficient vaccines in Bedouin clinics in the Negev. These failures are “not a coincidence”, rights groups say.
