'The U.S. gives Israel's military $3.8 billion a year. According to a new Amnesty report, that money funds apartheid.'
One day last spring, Palestinians in Israel and the occupied West Bank declared a general strike to protest years of repression they faced under Israeli rule.
The nonviolent strike came as Israel attempted to evict seven Palestinian families from their homes in occupied East Jerusalem, part of a longstanding effort to expand illegal Israeli settlements and transfer Jewish settlers to what had been Palestinian land and homes., they"arbitrarily arrested peaceful demonstrators, threw sound and stun grenades at crowds," and"dispersed them with excessive force.
The report finds that Israel has engaged in a"system of oppression and domination" of Palestinians, including through segregation, military rule, and restrictions on Palestinians' right to political participation. It documents how Israel has dispossessed Palestinians of their land and property and denied Palestinians their economic and social rights, among many other abuses.
