First Global Conference on Israeli Apartheid: Dimensions, Repercussions and the Means to Combat – Istanbul, Turkey
“The policies and practices used by Israel to exercise control over the Palestinian people constitute apartheid under international criminal law. Perceiving the conflict through the prism of occupation rather than apartheid blocks all efforts to achieve a sustainable and just peace while giving Israel time needed to turn the occupation into a full-fledged annexation.”
