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…

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.

@accountretired9479

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

@mphomangole3768

Now naledi pando must at all times watch her back following threads made. I can assure you many more are to follow.

@jeremiahrodriguez1014

Bdeep bdeep thats all folks😂

@randyboisa6367

3:08 A white "South African" talking about Israeli occupation. HYPOCRITE!

@saliemyates3567

This white lady is playing politics for her zinost masters so only a small minority of white people will defend Israel but the majority stands with Palestine.

SOUTH AFRIKA SUPPORTS UKRANIAN GENOCIDE AND PUTIN.SHAME ON SOUTH AFRIKA. HYPOCRITES

@Nasballim

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

@nafeekarim2780

Thanks South Africa

@fitahyo1308

Thanks

@user-b8

South Africa contribution to UNRWA : $0

@antonitadavidse6852

They are on the side of Palestine, ecause they did it for money. The ANC qere broke and just after they invited Hanas to our country, then all of a sudden they had money to spent.

@gravedigger9313

We are very fond of our South African Jews so we DONT BACK any negativity towards Israel

@gravedigger9313

South African Christians stand firmly behind Israel.
It’s worrying the fake news that one finds on you tube

@YoutubeGirlie

Thank you to everyone standing up for injustice.

@hanssolos3699

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 🇵🇸

@hanssolos3699

Not just talking, donate money , friends!😅

@ckyl4674

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 😭😭😭😭

@VukaniMzobe

Still a racist country.

@arjunsharma3925

We hate south Africa from India

@hanimazen5717

Thx to south africa

@HarryTavor

Why won't south africa resettle palestinians in the huge empty country? Because it's all a sham. 😂

@rafaelchan8497

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.

@b.b.heilbrun846

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.😊

@kitkatchoco7145

@mansooraqureshi2696

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.

@kadijajallow5128

@andresacevedo9218

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.

@laurencesmith1435

The same south african government that calls for the genocide of white and indian south africans – and you think they're the good guys? It explains why you support hamas!
