Without being trite, Israel’s dehumanisation of the Palestinians is even worse. I believe that the government of Israel is very much like, in many ways, the Apartheid government in South Africa, which looked at the black African population as inferior and in some way sub-human, and which had to be kept packed away, preferably behind electric fences, massively high cement walls and miles of razor wire. The Gaza Strip is really a very large rat cage in which rats are confined in conditions that defy all morality of human beings. But the action must be looked at in the context of the actual real time and real life situation in the entire neighbourhood: Israel and Palestine. There is no excuse for this for any reason. Make no mistake, there was an horrific attack on innocent people when the Hamas terrorists invaded Israel and slaughtered hundreds of innocent civilians. I must say that I was very proud to be a South African and witness one of the only countries on the planet decrying in the most unequivocal of terms the atrocious and diabolical actions of the Israeli army and government upon the innocent Palestinians. On Thursday the 11 th of January the panel of South Africans made a very compelling case that Israel has waged and is continuing to wage a genocidal war against the people of Gaza. As I write this, I am watching the International Court of Justice proceedings taking place in The Hague where South Africa has taken the State of Israel, on a charge of systematic genocide against the people of Gaza. There is an horrific slaughter taking place at this very moment before our eyes in the Gaza Strip. Facebook Tweet LinkedIn WhatsApp Telegram Reddit
