WATCH LIVE: State Department holds news briefing amid Israel-Palestinian fighting
PBS NewsHourMAY 2023
Israel's actions during last month's war with Palestinian militants in Gaza again highlight the human toll of the country's apartheid policies. Several civilians were unnecessarily killed by Israeli airstrikes alongside an inordinate amount of destruction of property. Palestinian militants are, of course, not innocent either, as indiscriminate rocket fire must also be investigated for war crimes.
Yet again, Amnesty is showcasing its anti-Israel bias. Besides its repeated use of the slanderous "apartheid" label, it continues to push Palestinian propaganda that Israel disproportionately targets civilians which is an outright lie. Israel does everything it can to avoid civilian casualties while Palestinian militants indiscriminately attack Israeli civilians and use their civilians as human shields.
