Reports by international, Israeli, and Palestinian human rights organizations accuse the State of Israel of committing the crime of apartheid. However, these reports often overlook the role of Israeli and international pro-Israel civil society organizations in promoting and creating consensus around Israel's apartheid project. In this episode, Neve Gordon, professor of international law and human rights at Queen Mary University of London, sheds light on the role of these racist civil society organizations. Gordon explores how these groups contribute to the perpetuation of apartheid policies and the consolidation of support for such practices.
