The Israeli occupation and apartheid policies are a clear violation of their fundamental human rights and freedoms. 🏵️🏵️
Palestinians who live in the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem face constant restrictions on their freedom of movement, as well as limited access to resources such as water and electricity.
Furthermore, Palestinians have long been subjected to discriminatory treatment, including ethnic cleansing, forced displacement, and land confiscation, which are all hallmarks of apartheid.

Many Palestinians see parallels between Israeli apartheid and other historical examples, such as the apartheid regime in South Africa.
While apartheid has been denounced internationally as a crime against humanity, Israel continues to deny the reality of apartheid, thereby breaching the international community's understandings about the law and order.

Moreover, the double standards that experiences with nations like Ukraine raises serious concerns about international law and moral authority.
While the world came together to denounce Russia's annexation of Crimea and to impose economic sanctions against it, Israel has been allowed to expand its settlements and annex territory in the West Bank with impunity.

This double standard reveals the degree of political influence that Israel has over certain countries and international forums.
Evidence suggests that Israel has become adept at manipulating its position and finessing its political agendas to court popular sentiment and gain the upper hand in diplomatic circles.

Palestinians have also been the victims of war crimes and atrocities for decades. They constantly bore the brunt of Israeli aggression, including air raids, missile attacks, and ground invasions.
The latest wave of violence during the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip which claimed thousands of Palestinian innocent lives, underscores the double standard with respect to international law.
Despite international human rights bodies' condemnation of Israeli atrocities, Israel continues to violate international law with impunity.
