You are ignorant!
The situations in Israel and South Africa are not identical. Israel is a complex and diverse society, with multiple ethnic and religious groups living together. South Africa, under apartheid, was a very different society, with a strict system of racial segregation in place.

One key difference between Israel and South Africa is the concept of citizenship. All citizens of Israel, regardless of race or religion, have equal rights under the law. In South Africa, non-white citizens were not considered equal, and were denied basic rights and freedoms. Right or wrong?
Israel has an elected government, while South Africa was ruled by a white minority that denied the majority of its citizens the right to vote. These are just a few of the differences between the two societies, which make the comparison of apartheid and Israel inaccurate. Again, do you understand what apartheid mean!

The definition of Apartheid has keywords.

1. segregation
2. discrimination
3. on grounds of race

Bro, if you don't know that all these are happening in Israel, Gaza and Occupied West Bank, then your ignorance is Massive.

Do you know that Mandela and his party the ANC was on the United States of America's terrorist list. Mandela stopped being labeled a Terrorist in 2008.

The question is this, why was Mandela and his Party labeled a terrorist group?

The answer is very straight forward. Of course, Mandela was jailed for fighting for what was taken away from them. Their land was 'invaded' while the original inhabitants were ill treated, APARTHEID. Mandela in his attempt to use fire arms to fight this invaders was what made him go to jail for 27 years.

. It's about a people fighting Intruders who systematically took away what belong to them.

So called supper powers just try to force a narrative that suit . The reality off course, just like Mandela was fighting invaders of their land is absolutely not different from the Palestine fighting for theirs.

There are really no supper powers. What we have are bullies. These so called supper powers only flex their muscles on countries far smaller in might to them in millitary strength.

Why not U.S versus Russia in a bid to save Ukraine from Russia's invasion ?

There is nothing happening today as regards Palestine versus Israel that is new.

I'm afraid you are mistaken in using the term "apartheid" to describe it. Israel is not an apartheid state, and there are significant differences between its policies and those of South Africa under apartheid.

• On the ground of segregation, apartheid in South Africa enforced a strict separation of races in all aspects of life, from education, health, housing, transport, employment, marriage, and voting. Non-whites were denied citizenship and forced to live in designated areas called Bantustans, which were poor and underdeveloped.

Israel does not segregate its citizens or residents based on race or ethnicity. All Israeli citizens, regardless of their background, have equal rights and duties under the law. They can live, work, study, travel, marry, and vote anywhere in the country. Israel also provides or provided services and infrastructure to the Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, who are not Israeli citizens but have their own authorities and institutions.

• On the ground of discrimination, apartheid in South Africa discriminated against non-whites in every sphere of society. Non-whites were subjected to inferior and unequal treatment, such as lower wages, poorer education, inadequate health care, restricted movement, and limited political representation. Again, Israel does not discriminate against its citizens or residents based on race or ethnicity. All Israeli citizens have equal access and opportunities to education, health care, etc.

• On grounds of race you made mention of, South Africa was based on the ideology of white supremacy and racial hierarchy. It classified people into four racial groups: white, black, coloured (mixed race), and Asian. It assigned different rights and privileges to each group according to their skin colour and ancestry.
Tell me, is Israel based on any racial ideology or hierarchy? Simple sense.

There is no comparison between Israel and South Africa under apartheid. Stop misusing the word!

President Cyril Ramaphosa says officials were working on an evacuation plan for South Africans who are trapped in the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Ramaphosa, who was attending the National Executive Committee meeting of the ruling ANC party on Saturday, said they have also received calls from various countries in the Middle East to send humanitarian assistance to Gaza.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza have been without water, food and electricity for almost a week since Israel started bombing Gaza. Israel also cut off the supply of fuel, water and electricity.

But Ramaphosa and the ANC NEC condemned the decision by the Israeli government to force 1.1 million people in northern Gaza to move to southern Gaza.

He said what was happening in Gaza amounted to genocide and the world must stand up for the Palestinians.


South Africa was willing to participate in any peace process to resolve the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

As you know this is an unfolding situation and it changes hour by hour. Our government agencies, our international relations department as well as our intelligence services and our defence intelligence are monitoring the situation on an ongoing basis,” said Ramaphosa.

“To this end we have called on the international community, the United Nations and all other concerned organisations that peace is restored in Palestine and that the Israeli government is directed at withdrawing this command of getting people out of northern part of Gaza because in the end it is going to amount to almost genocide as many people are going to die.

“As we speak now half-a-million people, who are Palestinians, have been displaced. They have been removed from their homes, they live in schools and other areas as well. This is the most tragic situation and almost dangerous situation that the people of Palestine have been exposed to,” said Ramaphosa.

He said humanitarian corridors must be opened to allow for the supply of food, water, fuel and other needs. Electricity must also be restored to the people of Gaza.

Ramaphosa said they were also concerned that the conflict may spill over into the Middle East and drag other countries in the region.

There were already conflicts in Africa and Ukraine, and the world cannot afford to have another conflict.

This is one of the reasons i love the anc. Its internationalism is something other major political parties in africa must copy. The anc has always stood with the palestinians because, among other reasons, they draw parallels between its apartheid yoke history and the palestinian apartheid under the jews. Mind you, south africa has a strong jewish community.

And the types like you will be complaining of how land grabbers (omoniles) take away your land when you grow up.
Don't complain.
Take it as an act of the gods.

You are probably one of those who claims Christianity without knowing what Christ taught.

There is no lie in what I said , I repeat every land occupied by people now is as a result of conquest during the migration era , stronger tribes conquered weaker tribes took over their lands some merged with the stronger ethnic groups to become one people this is the history of humans

About land grabbers taking away my land ,
likee I said , if they are strong enough and smart enough to take away the land I bought with evidence to prove it in court that the land belongs to me , then I will accept it as one of those things amongst humans nature nothing new

I don't claim Christianity, I was born into a Christian family but as I grew older I realize all religions just like traditions including Christianity are nothing but human made norms values and taboos made by smart people to mentally countrol others who are not as smart as them and to also help unite those set of people to see themselves as one people under same beliefs and practices
