"Amnesty International joins a long list of respected Palestinian, Israeli and international human rights organizations and experts in exposing Israel's colonial occupation for what it is: an institutionalized system of oppression and domination over the Palestinian people designed to legitimize the expansion of colonial settlements, deny the Palestinian people and their the inalienable right to self-determination and to erase the Palestinian history, present and future in their homeland," the statement of the Embassy of Palestine emphasizes.
They added that "the report is a detailed confirmation of the cruel reality of the entrenched racism, exclusion, oppression, colonialism, apartheid and attempted cleansing that the Palestinian people have suffered since the Nakba".
"It is a reality in which the state is organized to maintain Jewish-Israeli domination by ensuring the permanent denial of the basic and national rights of the Palestinian people. This heinous reality of crime and impunity is undeniable to the international community. It is maintained and encouraged by the deliberate abandonment of principled obligations under international law through inaction and documented complicity," the announcement reads.
The Embassy of Palestine said that "Amnesty International's report must force those who have chosen appeasement and inaction to align their actions with their stated positions and international obligations."
"Allowing such comprehensive and institutional brutalization and dehumanization of the Palestinian people to continue without consequences is a betrayal of the values and principles of universal human rights. Such betrayal would also adversely affect the rights and lives of victims of injustice around the world. It would jeopardize the global struggle for justice and universal application of human rights. That would be simply unforgivable," said the Embassy of Palestine.
They also stated that "the United Nations Security Council (UN) and the UN General Assembly are obliged to take into account the compelling evidence presented by Amnesty International and other leading human rights organizations and hold Israel accountable for its crimes against the Palestinian people, including through sanctions".
"Equally and urgently, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court must without delay investigate Israel's crimes against humanity of apartheid. In the meantime, the Palestinian people will continue to exercise their legitimate right to oppose and resist all forms of occupation, colonization, dehumanization, racism and apartheid as long as does not achieve justice and exercise its rights to self-determination, return, freedom and independence", concludes the statement of the Embassy of Palestine in Montenegro.
