UN rights chief says Israeli policy in West Bank ‘resembles apartheid system’
The UN human rights office has issued a report detailing what it calls Israel’s “systemic discrimination” against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and said the situation has “drastically deteriorated” over the past three years.
Israeli laws, policies and practices were having an “asphyxiating impact” on every aspect of daily life for Palestinians and violated an international convention against racial discrimination, it said.
“This is a particularly severe form of racial discrimination and segregation that resembles the kind of apartheid system we have seen before,” High Commissioner Volker Türk warned.
Pausing genocide is no peace in Gaza or the West Bank!
Extremist Zionists have used the war crimes in Gaza to expand their apartheid tactics inside the West Bank while Israel pushes out aid organisations from the genocide in Gaza.
Israel bars some aid workers from Gaza as groups face suspension
- NGOs ordered to cease operations unless they give employee details to Israel
- MSF and others denied entry, impacting key medical services in Gaza

- Homelessness, hunger still widespread in shattered territory after two-year war
When Drs without Borders are the ‘enemy’ what the fuck does that make the IDF?
Trump’s self-adsorbed narcism produced a vanity project, it didn’t produce a peace deal.
What has NZs response been?
Total Cowardice!
New Zealand opts not to join international statement warning of deteriorating situation in Gaza
New Zealand has not joined an international statement warning the humanitarian situation in Gaza is rapidly deteriorating.
The statement, published overnight by the UK Foreign Office, describes conditions for civilians as “appalling” as winter approaches.
It said 1.3 million people urgently need shelter, and the majority of the population is experiencing acute food insecurity.
“More than half of health facilities are only partially functional and face shortages of essential medical equipment and supplies. The total collapse of sanitation infrastructure has left 740,000 people vulnerable to toxic flooding,” it said.
Once again, National, ACT and NZF capitulate for Domestic Zionist Apologists so we can continue to suck up to Israel.
This following the obscene decision to refuse to recognise Palestine leads me to suspect money is changing hands and I would not be surprised at all if donations are occurring to ensure NZ supports Israel.
We should be ashamed, especially when you consider some scholars put the death toll in Gaza at 680 000…
…National, ACT and NZFs shameful decision to stain our mana by siding with war criminals demands scrutiny!
