Dan Diker and Olga Meshoe Washington argue that Human Rights Watch s report A threshold crossed where it designates Israel s policies as apartheid, contains several conceptual black holes.
The 27 April 2021 Human Rights Watch Report, A Threshold Crossed , accusing Israel of apartheid , may rank as one of the most cynical and politically motivated weaponisations of human rights in recent memory.
Its misapplication of apartheid is stunning.
In an act of Orwellian doublespeak, it recasts a decade s old war by the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) and Hamas against the existence of sovereign Jews anywhere in the Middle East into an accusation of Israeli racial supremacy and persecution of Palestinians in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza.

After years of hibernation due to internal conflict, Palestinians were expecting to head to the polls on May 22 to choose local representatives to the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) until those elections were (again) postponed indefinitely by President Mahmoud Abbas last week.

Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Maliki expressed his confidence in the ability of the Palestinians to overcome the existing disputes over postponing the legislative elections.
In an interview with Asharq Al-Awsat, Maliki noted that this issue has “hastened the launch of the battle of Jerusalem,” emphasizing its “priority with regard to all Palestinian factions.”
The minister, who visited Moscow as part of a European tour, pointed to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ proposal to form a government of national unity, saying: “All factions agree that Jerusalem is a red line.

In a radio interview broadcast May 2, Abbas’ spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeina said the formation of a national unity government is one of the measures expected for the upcoming period after the postponement of elections, in addition to the strengthening of the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the possibility of convening the PLO’s Central Council to draft specific policies.
