Time to stop this 'crime against humanity': South Africa

[Donkees]

The world has seen enough of the tragedy in Gaza and it is time for countries to use their influence over Israel to put a stop to “this real crime against humanity”, South African foreign minister Naledi Pandor says.

Pandor told Al Jazeera her government may refer Israel to the International Criminal Court.

There are “very clear similarities” between the apartheid system in South Africa and Israel’s occupation of Palestine, she added.

“We know people cannot own property and it can be seized without any compensation, which is what we experienced in our own country. People have to carry identity documents that reflect their ethnicity rather than citizenship. All of this is part of the apartheid feature,” Pandor explained.

1. I was hoping we'd hear from SA

about apartheid as it relates to Israel because if anyone knows it's definitely South Africa.

4. It's like they just don't get that Hamas won't ever stop.

Failing to eradicate them will just lead to more October 7 style attacks. There’s no reasoning with these assholes, there’s no compromise or diplomacy to be had. They have to go, period. The people of Gaza won’t do it, Israel has to. There no choice for them.

5. When a Statement...

Such as this comes from SA, you KNOW something is messed up.

6. Who opposed an end to SA apartheid?

It was Reagan & the US right wing, who also opposed the boycotts to end apartheid. Conservatives always seem to favor that sort of brutality. I guess that's why we here on the Left are against apartheid. Aren't we?

7. More material solidarity will be needed at some point.
