Washington (QNN) – Amnesty International on Tuesday called out ‘Israel’ an apartheid state, indicating that its continuous attacks against the Palestinian people are a crime against humanity.

“Apartheid is not just a relic of the past, it is the lived reality for Palestinians across Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories — it is happening to this day,” said the human rights organization in a Twitter post.

It further added that it is monitoring reports of unlawful killings, arbitrary arrests, torture, and collective punishment.

The organization indicated that Israel’s apartheid is maintained through killings, torture, and denying Palestinians their basic rights.

The organization concluded that the violence acts committed against Palestinians are a crime against humanity that must end.
