The article you cited is just that, an article - written by an individual who doesn't claim to speak on behalf of Amnesty International.

In no way does her article reflect official Amnesty International policy when it comes to Israel.

If you don't believe me, that's fine. Simply find an official document from Amnesty showing that they consider Israel to be an apartheid state. They do big glossy reports on Israel all the time. But nothing on Apartheid. Where is this big report that they would gladly hand over to the media, after doing a big press conference to announce it?

Where has the MSM reported that Amnesty officially views Israel as an apartheid state?

Explain to me why Amnesty has never ACTED against Israel's alleged apartheid. IOW, apartheid is a serious allegation. Amnesty has not gone to the ICJ, ICC or any high authority to challenge Israel's apartheid. That's what they're supposed to do.

Try again.
