White House Petition: Condemn the Apartheid State of Israel for their Human Rights Violations

We petition the Obama administration to:

Condemn the Apartheid State of Israel for their Human Rights Violations against the Palestinian peoples.

The purpose of my petition is to raise awareness of the plight of the Palestinian peoples under the Apartheid Regime in Israel.

I seek recognition by my government that without our American tax dollars Israel could not conduct such criminal acts against the civilian population of Palestine.

Israel has a 20% minority Arab population who enjoys full citizenship and voting rights. Those who choose not to accept the citizenship because they don't want to recognize Israel have permanent residency and municipal voting rights with the option to apply for full citizenship at any time. That is not apartheid!
