EFF condemns the Israeli attack on the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza

18 October 2023

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) condemns, in the strongest terms, the genocidal missile attack by Israel on the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza, which has led to the death of more than 500 Palestinians.

The cruelty and disregard by Apartheid-Israel for the vulnerable human lives at Al Ahli Hospital, seeking refuge and healthcare, confirms what the EFF has always known, which is that Israel is a terrorist state that is intent on crushing Palestinian life into extinction.

Israel, with the aid of the United States of America (USA) is intent on killing Palestinians in pursuit of a racist, colonial and Zionist agenda. It is even worse that it is Israel that orders the evacuation of Palestinians in Gaza, yet they continue to launch missiles into evacuation routes and places of refuge.

It is time for the entire globe to realise that the human rights crisis in Palestine has reached the point of genocide and ethnic cleansing. The Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu has characterised the ongoing invasion of Palestinian lands and the murder of Palestinian people by Israel as, " a struggle between the people of light and the people of darkness. between humanity and animality." In Netanyahu's Zionist and racist mind, the Israelis are the people of light and humanity, and the Palestinian people are the people of darkness and animality.

We call on all the allies of the Palestinian people to provide medical, humanitarian and military aid to the people of Palestine in their time of need. It is no longer enough to pay lip service to the cause of the people of Palestine, while Israel receives millions of dollars of funding from the USA to enact a genocide against the Palestinians.

The South African government's duplicity on the war against Palestine is no longer tolerable, and the immediate course of action is to cut all diplomatic ties with the terrorist Israeli state, which has bombed a hospital, killing hundreds of women and children.

Palestine has a right to defend itself, it's people and it's land, and the entire world must stand against the terror of Israel.
