Amnesty International has frozen ties with its Israeli branch, accusing it of racism

The international organization Amnesty International announced that it has frozen ties with the Israeli Amnesty International for two years due to the fact that the Israeli AI refuses to recognize the IDF’s actions in the Gaza Strip as genocide.

In addition, the international organization accuses its Israeli branch of racism: it allegedly systematically discriminates against Palestinians. The publication cites sources in the organization, according to whom, evidence of racism could have been deliberately fabricated.

“These actions are a response to entrenched anti-Palestinian racism within the Israeli organization, which is contrary to Amnesty’s core values ​​and demonstrates hostility to the position we advocate,” the organization’s leadership said in a statement.

Let’s remember: about a month ago, Amnesty International published a report claiming that Israel is committing genocide against the population of the Gaza Strip. The document is entitled “You Feel Like You’re Subhuman: Israel’s Genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.”

AI, recognizing the enormity of the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, stated that during the military operation, Israel made life hell for Palestinians in Gaza – ruthlessly, relentlessly and with complete impunity. The organization argued that these actions were carried out purposefully. She also used the word “subhuman,” a reference to Nazi racial doctrine.
