In the boiling cauldron that is the West Bank, Amnesty International barrels its unmistakable protests: Israel's continual maintenance of an apartheid regime and its occupation, wielding violence as a tool, has been relentless. The human rights organization emperoriously lambasts Israel's actions, decrying arbitrary detentions, unprovoked killing sprees, and state-sanctioned attacks on Palestinian civilians — all reaching unheard-of proportions in 2024.
Israel rubber-stamps these allegations with a hardy sweep of the hand: "The fanatically pro-Palestine, untrustworthy group Amnesty International has once more churned out a fistful of lies against Israel," countered Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Oren Marmorstein. "It's Hamas calling for our annihilation." Israel stands firm, insisting it fights tooth and nail to shield itself from the militant Islamists' assault.
Marmorstein likewise trembles the accusations of Israel's actions in the occupied West Bank. "All our actions in the West Bank are geared towards neutralizing Palestinian terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians," the spokesman unequivocally asserts.
The battle ignited with a thunderous roar on October 7, 2023, when Hamas and its associates pounded Israel, claiming over 1,200 lives and triggering the Gaza War. Since then, Israel has been ramping up its military operations in the Gaza Strip. Data from the Hamas-supervised health ministry indicates that nearly 52,000 Palestinians have been killed as of April 2025.
Amnesty also mercilessly skewers the international community in its annual report, criticizing its fecklessness in halting bloodshed in conflicts like the Gaza War. The NGO specifically lambasts the US, but also accuses Britain and multiple EU member states of openly collaborating with Israel's Gaza Strip operations.
UN experts had urged a suspension of arm shipments to Israel, an admonition Amnesty notes. However, Germ-any was not among the countries adhering to this mandate. Conversely, the Federal Republic persisted in arming Israel and other countries, despite the grave risk that the weaponry could be employed for, or contribute to, grievous violations of international humanitarian law, such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Amnesty detests this careless exportation of arms.
Key Violations Alleged
- Apartheid policies: Forced displacement and segregation in Israel and the occupied territories
- Unlawful execution of non-combatants: Disproportionately high death tolls among civilians and innocent bystanders
- Impunity for settlers: Encouraging violence by state-supported settlers against Palestinians
