EU foreign #policy chief Josep Borrell has rejected #Amnesty International’s finding that Israel perpetrates the crime of apartheid. Euc/ROPI
It is anti-Semitic to say Israel perpetrates the crime of apartheid against the Palestinian people, according to the European Union.
That would mean that major rights groups including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and Israel’s B’Tselem – which is funded by the EU – are guilty of anti-Jewish bigotry, according to Brussels.
The EU’s extraordinary claim came in response to a question from several pro-Israel members of the European Parliament directed towards the EU’s executive body, the European Commission.
The lawmakers stated that Amnesty’s report last February “alleges that apartheid was inherent in the founding of the State of Israel in 1948 and has been built on and maintained by successive Israeli governments.”
The lawmakers asked if EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell also views Israel as an “apartheid state.”
They also wanted to know if Borrell considers Amnesty’s report to be “anti-Semitic” under the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism, “given that it claims that the existence of the State of Israel is a racist endeavor (i.e. an apartheid state).”
