Those growing up today are witnessing a different but grimly familiar struggle: that of the Palestinians, living under what Amnesty International has today described in a historic new report as “an institutionalised regime of systematic oppression and domination” – or, as they describe it, “apartheid”. Research and expert analysis leaves no room for doubt; Israeli government policies towards Palestinians – including dispossession and forcible transfer – constitute apartheid as a crime against humanity. Last year, Human Rights Watch published their own report on the matter, while Israeli human rights group B’Tselem similarly speaks of an apartheid regime. To keep up to speed with all the latest opinions and comment, sign up to our free weekly Voices Dispatches newsletter by clicking here Last May, I wrote about how in the aftermath of every periodic escalation, whether in Jerusalem or Gaza, we always “leave untouched the very root causes that led to violence in the first place”.
