South Africa's significant backing of the Palestinian cause throughout history


South Africa has long been an advocate of Palestinian rights. Last month it took Israel to the International Court of Justice, accusing it of genocide in Gaza.

Al Jazeera’s Fahmida Miller looks back at the history of its support for Palestinians.

Arina Muresan, a senior researcher with the Institute for Global Dialogue, says South…

  1. The only people supporting apartheid israel are racist white people and crazy evengelical christians in South Africa. She shouldn't pretend that majority of South Africans do not support this.

  5. It's mainly only white South Africans who have a problem with our stance on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict for obvious reasons, 90% of our country is overwhelmingly behind Palestine so it's a bit weird bringing on a white South African to speak on this

  6. Mandela was called a terrorist. Imprisoned for treason. Only to become our greatest president. The white Nationalists said that the blacks will kill them if they take over. That didnt happen. In fact whites are CEOs, business owners, even mayors, and even members of parliament. Whites werw not driven out. We wish the same for Israel and Palestine

  7. bilal ibn rabah (RA) was the first person to call the adhzan at al aqsa….this is a comparison that 🇿🇦 is the first nation in our present time to save 🇵🇸

  8. Couple went to Israel. Male, 60s, white, British passport. Female, 40s, non white, Aussie passport. Female detained, passport withheld and interrogated for over an hour. Had to prove employment, travel itinerary, outbound airline ticket and justification going to Uganda and Canada!! Male released and no interrogation. Check points, travelling in the same vehicle, female interrogated, male no questions asked. If this wasn't Hitler and his blond, blue eyed superior race then what is in the eyes of the Israelis? Anti semitism🤡🤡🤣🤣. Nazism 😭😭😭😭

  9. That's the islamic point of view. There is no debt of honor among the south africans for being supported by yasser arafat, during their struggle.
    People change especially, their ways and means.
    On a neutral perspective, wondering how much the islamic gangs shelled out to make south africa unconvincingly agree to submit a case of genocide to ICJ that is, in contrast to their own logic.

  10. The only reason why SA is supporting the palestinians is that the ANC is bankrupt, and….

    Iran is bailing them out …with a few strings attached.😊

    It will not help.

    SA will continue to go down the tubes….only at a faster rate now.😊

  11. thank you very much to the people who continue to support the people of Palestine, it's heartwarming to see people who understand the sufferings of the innocent people in Palestine❤❤❤❤❤🇵🇸

  12. South Africa also has strong Zionist Lobby, that is where the criticism comes from. These People live all over the World,some with duel Nationality,mostly from Europe n have made Israel their hub for luxurious retreat n also for Settlement agenda. Anything that shakes this status quo is viewed as an act of aggression to their Imperialistic Parameters.

  13. Just remember who started the war! Christian from South Africa is standing for Isreal, Isreal is the Apple of God's eye, Because Christian people know the Word of God we also know that this is only the beginning of end time

  14. free palestin from the muslimes -in your quraan it is written it belong to bni israel -yehuda was one of bni israel -dont you know that ? free free palestin from the river to the sea israel will be free

  15. South Africa: a country that is murdering its white population and that is abusing and mistreating the african migrant population that lives there due to an intensive xenophobia.
