South Africa's Opposition to Israel's Genocide in Gaza Must Not Falter
The position adopted by Chief Rabbi Goldstein to be Israel’s main cheerleader, is not only boringly repetitive but frankly speaking, of no consequence for South Africa.
Defence of Israel's bloodbath in besieged Gaza may appeal to a small minority of people, but certainly will neither find favour nor blessings among the country's overwhelming majority.
As South Africans we are aware of the terrible slaughter of innocent Palestinians in Gaza as well as the overbearing oppression faced by their brethren - Muslim and Christian, in the illegally Occupied West Bank.
Though we are physically disconnected by thousands of kilometres from Gaza, we feel the pain and share the grief of the millions who have been herded like cattle into so-called "safe zones".
Just as the illegal creation of the Zionist apartheid regime has been built upon a lie, so too is it evident that the myth of "safe zones" is a lie.
