‘We do not agree’: UK rejects Amnesty report accusing Israel of apartheid

The United Kingdom on Thursday rejected an Amnesty International report accusing Israel of apartheid.

Amnesty alleged in a major report released Tuesday that Israel has maintained “a system of oppression and domination” over the Palestinians going all the way back to the establishment of the state in 1948, a system the group said meets the international definition of apartheid.

The UK joins Israel, the US and Germany, in addition to a range of Jewish organizations around the world, in rejecting the 278-page report.
