US Presbyterian Church declares "Israel" an apartheid regime
The US Presbyterian Church voted to declare "Israel" an apartheid regime and to establish a Remembrance Day for the Nakba of 1948, which the resolution described as the "expulsion by terrorism and force of 750,000 Palestinians, both Christian and Muslim."
"Israel’s laws, policies and practices regarding the Palestinian people fulfill the international legal definition of apartheid," read the resolution.
The church also passed two other resolutions highly critical of "Israel" at the American religious body's 225th General Assembly.
The church's International Engagement committee voted, with a majority, in recognition of "Israel’s laws, policies and practices regarding the Palestinian people fulfill the international legal definition of apartheid," asserting that Palestinians, through racial domination and inhumane acts, were systemically oppressed by Israelis.
According to the resolution, the church acknowledges that Palestinian land and water were stolen by "Jewish-only settlements," and that Palestinians were denied freedom of residence and movement, residing in "separate reserves and ghettos."
May 15, as per the document, has been designated as the 'Palestinian Nakba Remembrance Day,' and it has become an official part of the Presbyterian Planning Calendar, two months after Democrat congresswoman Rashida Tlaib presented a draft recognizing the Nakba.
The church went deeper into matters, addressing the Arabs who live in the 1948 lands, declaring that non-Jewish Arabs living in Palestinians are treated with "inferior status" and that Palestinians are unable to participate in the "political, social, economic and cultural life of their country."
