“We reject expressions like apartheid or a one-sided focusing of criticism on Israel. That is not helpful to solving the conflict in the Middle East,” German Foreign Ministry spokesperson Christopher Burger said on Wednesday.
The German response to Amnesty’s report is similar to the stance taken by the United States. U.S. Ambassador to Israel Tom Nideson rejected the biased report, calling its claims “absurd.”
On Tuesday, Amnesty International’s UK office issued a 300-page report, calling Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, a “regime of oppression and domination.” The lengthy report, which took Amnesty years to compile, is replete with antisemitic libels and old lies propagated by Palestinian terrorist organizations, the review of the document shows. //
On Tuesday, the Jerusalem-based watchdog NGO Monitor reviewed the Amnesty report and found that it “manipulates and distorts international law, Israeli policy, and events on the ground, as well as denies the Jewish people their right to sovereign equality and self-determination.”
The NGO Monitor concluded that the report “can be considered antisemitic according to the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which notes that: ‘Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.'”
While focusing on Israel, where Arab and other monitories enjoy equal citizenship rights, Amnesty maliciously turns a blind eye to Iran, Syria, and other tyrannical regimes next door that carry out massacres against their people.
In an interview with the Times of Israel, Amnesty officials refused to use the ‘apartheid’ framework for China, a Communist regime that holds millions of Buddhists ethnic Tibetans and Muslim Uyghurs in concentration and slave labor camps.
