Israel committing apartheid: HRW
‘PREPOSTEROUS’: Israel called the HRW report a ‘propaganda pamphlet’ from an organization that has for years promoted boycotts against Israel

Currently under investigation by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes, Israel blasted HRW’s accusations as “preposterous and false,” accusing the New York-based group of having “a long-standing anti-Israeli agenda.”

With the acknowledgment, Biden followed through on a campaign promise he made a year ago Saturday the annual commemoration of Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day to recognize that the events of 1915 to 1923 were a deliberate effort to wipe out Armenians.
