Less than an hour after Palestinian terrorists killed four Israeli and wounded four more, Amnesty International tweeted: “Apartheid is deprivation. Apartheid is segregation. Apartheid is fragmentation. Apartheid is dispossession. Israel’s apartheid over Palestinians is a crime against humanity.”

“A ‘human rights’ organization with no regard for human rights. Abhorrent,” tweeted an official Israeli account.
