Association for Defensing Victims of Terrorism – Muriel Asseburg compared the standards the West used to assess conflict in Ukraine versus in Palestine and criticized Israel’s occupation as apartheid.
During the lengthy discussion, Asseburg compared the standards the West used to assess conflict in Ukraine versus in Palestine.
The Ukrainians are currently experiencing something that the Palestinians are familiar with, she said: “Attacks, bombing, occupation, actions that violate international law.“
She also said that often, Palestinians are bothered because resistance from Ukrainians and Palestinians is perceived in different ways; for Palestinians, it is terrorism, but for Ukrainians, it is defense.
Asseburg, in the interview, clearly made a distinction between resistance against civilians, which she said was terrorism, and resistance against armed forces.
In the article, the scholar wrote that “Prima facie, Israel is thus committing the crime of apartheid – which is classified as a crime against humanity – in the occupied territories.”
