THIS week Amnesty International became the latest major human rights body to affirm what Palestinians have been saying for decades: that Israel’s system of oppression over them is apartheid, a crime against humanity under international law.

The evidence is overwhelming and the necessary consequences of committing this crime against humanity are already written in law.
