Israeli Law Professors Compare Treatment of Palestinians to "Apartheid"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel's Law Professors' Forum, representing 120 prominent law
professors, has joined human rights groups in comparing Israel's
treatment of Palestinians to the former apartheid government of South
Africa. Earlier this week, the new head of Human Rights Watch, Tirana
Hassan, urged the U.S. and other allies of Israel to help hold it
accountable for its rights violations.

Tirana Hassan: "We say that this is not a human rights-compliant
government. This is a government that's actually on a rampage against
human rights domestically against its own people in Israel, and they are
pushing back."
