S. Africa Stands With Palestine During War - "Hamas Actions Unsurprising" (PICS) by TMKsouth: 1:51am On Oct 09, 2023
The ruling African National Congress (ANC) in South Africa says the actions of Palestinian Hamas militants in Israel were 'unsurprising' because of Israel's continued occupation of Palestinian land.

On Sunday, ANC spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri said Palestinian militants had no choice in choosing the escalation of violence because of Israel.

The ANC has long supported Palestine, believing the country was increasingly facing hostility similar to South Africa's former apartheid regime, justifying humanitarian support for the predominately Muslim country.

"It can no longer be disputed that South Africa's apartheid history is occupied Palestine's reality.

"As a result, the decision by Palestinians to respond to the brutality of the settler Israeli apartheid regime is unsurprising," Bhengu-Motsiri said in a statement on Sunday.

She said:

The ANC stands with the people of occupied Palestine as it is clear that the degenerating security situation is directly linked to the unlawful Israeli occupation.
"Israel's policy of settling its civilians in occupied Palestinian territory and displacing the local population contravenes fundamental rules of international humanitarian law," she added.

Hundreds of people have been reported dead and others injured in what first began as a missile attack by Hamas forces into Israeli territory.

The AFP reported ongoing violence continued between Israel's armed military forces and Hamas forces from Saturday to Sunday.

While the South African government has in the past taken a diplomatic stance against Israel, calling out the country for its stance against Palestinians, the ANC has been the most vocal on its belief Israel worsened the tenuous situation in the Gaza Strip.

The ANC called on both sides to 'seize the opportunity for peace'.

The head of the African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat, took a diplomatic tone on the violence in the region.

However, like the ANC, he insisted the lack of recognition of the rights of the Palestinian people was the cause of the ongoing conflict.


The AFP reported Faki said: "… [The] denial of the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people, particularly that of an independent and sovereign state, is the main cause of the permanent Israeli-Palestinian tension".

SA and other friendly countries should help supply Iran with uranium for nuclear bombs to wipe out that racist occupying state kept alive by an equally racist USA.

Keep dreaming. Which Iran? Just dey play. Let Tehran enter the fight and see how that city will be levelled. You arw hoping on Russia to help you attack Israel. Just dey play. You can see how US supported Israel. None is yet to support your case.

It's back to back.
Hamas will be history in days.
Land invasion of gaza in coming hours.

Majority of Gaza to be annexed by israel after this unprovoked attack by Hamas.

Get ready to cry. Nobody gives an ear to your game anymore. If you like, use children as shield, Hamas must be destroyed completely.

No one thought Hamas could infiltrate "mighty" Israel. They did!🤣 This has left apartheid Israel rattled for the first time since 1940.

At bolded - UNPROVOKED ATTACK? You're clearly living under a rock.

2 million people are living in a virtual prison in Gaza for the past 17 years and you say Israel is unprovoked?

Please go pray beside that Jesus site so they bomb your ridiculous self off Nairaland.

didn’t start today go and read about Munich 72 where Palestines killed an entire Israeli Olympic team. You can kill Israelis no big deal but what happens after then? They never ever forgive and they make sure they send your entire lineage to hell fire. Same with US

You should learn from history - no one remains enslaved forever. And let Israel overreach its retaliation (sponsored by the US) and lets see where that leaves its relations with neighbouring arab states it was beginning to cozy up with like Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

If i can be infuriated sitting all the way in South Africa, guess how arabs are feeling right now. Israel will never and should never last as a racist and apartheid state in the middle east even it means obliteration.

Don't embarrass yourself and country any further by responding to me if you haven't done research. Go read the influence ANC wields in SA. Its like the Communist Party in China. ANC is government. They resolved to downgrade relations with Israel and it happened.

The freedom for Palestine is intertwined with SA's own struggle and is decades old. Even Mandela and Arafat were involved.

Wars, just like earthquakes, typhoons, hurricanes and tornadoes are not man made but natural. It is mother earth's way of cleaning itself of human pollution and atrocities. War started with human existence and shall see the end to it. Praying for peace is a great waste of time; a delusion.


While you live, always be ready for war so that it doesn't take you unawares. A peaceful world is an abnormal one.
