Before this quarter I had never been aware of the crimes against the Palestinian people. Their human rights are violated and the dispossession of Palestinians and their land is a form of violence that the world does not address. Amnesty International addresses the issue of apartheid inflicted by the Israeli government. It amazes me that such violence occurs and yet as someone who lives in another country, there seems too be no care by the media and by government officials to address these crimes against humanity.
