Join AMP, February 26th @ 12:00 PM EST for our 15th educational webinar, “Israel’s Crime Against Humanity: Apartheid in Palestine” Dear Email, Apartheid is a crime against humanity and is prohibited under customary international law. This means that States are bound by its prohibition and must therefore adhere to its obligations. Various human rights organizations have detailed Israel’s apartheid regime in Palestine, Amnesty International being the latest. In short, as Amnesty International said in its report, Israel “seeks to establish and maintain Jewish hegemony wherever Israel exercises effective control,” which includes all of Palestine from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. It is no longer anathema to refer to Israel’s structure and policies as apartheid in nature. Our job is to push the envelope and expose Israel’s crime against humanity of apartheid and change the legislative and executive agenda toward holding Israel accountable for its crimes against the Palestinian people. It’s time that the United States and the world recognize, as Amnesty International noted, the “full extent of the crimes that Israel perpetrates against the Palestinian people.”  Join us @ 12:00 PM EST on Saturday, February 26th for this important webinar where I will be hosting a live discussion on Facebook with our wonderful guests: - Maen Hammad: Regional Campaigner with Amnesty International’s International Secretariat in the organization’s Middle East and North Africa Regional Office,
- Katherine Gallagher: Senior Staff Attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights,
- Dr. Virginia Tilley: Writer/Professor of Political Science, human rights, Middle East, Israel-Palestine, indigenous peoples, race/ethnicity,
- Wesam Ahmed: Head of Center for Applied International Law in Al-Haq.
