The Israeli human rights group, BâTselem, conducted an investigation and issued a report documenting that Israeli is an apartheid state by international legal standards. This lies at the base of a wide array of Israeli policies, advancing and perpetuating the supremacy of one group â Jews â over another â Palestinians. Our feature this week is a forum on this courageous report, which took place in Cork, Ireland. It is moderated by the Chair of the Cork County anti-Apartheid Campaign, Martin Shield, and features Hagai El Hag, Executive Director of BâTselem the Israeli human rights organization which issued the report, and Ronnie Kasreal, former South African Minister and anti-apartheid activist.
