EXPEL THE ISRAELI EMBASSY FROM SOUTH AFRICA NOW!#Palestine #Israel
EXPEL THE ISRAELI EMBASSY FROM SOUTH AFRICA NOW!
There has been growing calls for South Africa to cut ties with the Apartheid and Murderous Israel with immediate effect. This is not a new call but has been in existence for decades,it was just renewed by the recent escalated attacks by Israel on the people of Palestine. Most will be aware that on the 7th of October 2023 Hamas undertook a defensive military operation to attack some parts of Israel,this operation resulted into a death of over thousand Israel citizens. I am terming this military operation by Hamas as a defensive operation because it is one of the tactics used by the oppressed people to free themselves from the shackles of oppressors(Israel in this case). It was this military operation by Hamas which provided the blood thirsty and murderous Israel with a dubious justification to escalate its attack on the people of Palestine.However,it would be dangerous and misleading to start the conversation from the 7th of October 2023 and we must resist with our almighty the attempts by the mainstream media and their pop-corn analysts to pin us into a corner to start the discussion on Israel and Palestine on the 7th of October 2023.
To provide clear and accurate analysis on the Israel and Palestine conflict which is caused by the invasion of the Palestine Land by Israel we must go far back as 106 years in 1917. This conflict has its genesis in 1917 where by the British which was the Colonizer of Palestine(Palestine was the Protectorate of the British).In fact the killing and ethnic cleansing of the Palestine people started way before Israel as a state came into existence. The British are the architects of the problem we are seated with . I don't know how many of you know of the BALFOUR DECLARATION ,allow me to introduce you to this declaration. But the first question would be who is this Balfour?,well James Arthur Balfour was the British Foreign Secretary. He conveyed the following pledge in a public letter to a prominent British Zionist,Lord Walter Rothschild:
" His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people,and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object,it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights and religious of existing no-Jewish communities in Palestine,or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country"
For those who do not know,the state of Israel is as young as in 1948,it was established on the 14 May 1948. Now here we have the Imperialist and colonizing force in the form of Britain unilaterally promising the Jewish community the land of the Palestine people,this is without the consent of the Palestine people. The context provided above is a sufficient justification for classifying Israel as an Apartheid state,just as in the case of the Apartheid South Africa whereby an outside force came in and violently occupied the land of the Natives and when the Natives resisted they were then killed and later called terrorists . It is for this reason that we must reject the propaganda by the mainstream media and their microwave analysts which seeks to paint Hamas and the fighting people of Palestine as terrorists,was Nelson Mandela not referred to as a terrorist not so long ago for taking up arms against the Apartheid South Africa?,we as South Africans should know better.
The Palestine and Israel has another dimension , a dimension which thrusts into the picture the murderous USA(the United Slaves of America).For most of the recent decades the United Slaves of America has been the fuel behind the Apartheid Israel,well not surprising considering the history of the USA in supporting the imperialists projects the world over. The USA interests in the Palestine/Israel conflicts are mainly about economic and global domination,we will do well to understand the strategic location of Palestine(Middle East which on its own is a contentious description ,but that is a topic for another day) this is an area which is endowed with serious mineral deposits(Oil) so the USA is in need of allies in the region,hence it has found one in Israel. This will explain the arrogance of the Netanyahu(Israel Prime Minister) administration and the defense that is always provided by the USA. What is sad is that the defense by the USA has rendered the United Nations into a toothless noisy dog which just barks but cannot bite. On numerous occasions the United Nations has resolved on the Palestine/Israel matter but cannot implement any of those resolutions. There are emerging reports that Palestine may be home to some serious oil deposits which have not been exploited,which may explain the intensifying of the ethnic cleansing of the Palestines by the Israel and the USA.
It has been reported that since the 7th of October Israel has displaced over 1,8 million Palestines and has dropped over 25000 tons of explosives. This is the blood-thirsty Israel which has been killing innocent people,children and women in schools and hospitals. How has the world allowed this genocide to continue unabated is beyond me.The only sin of the people of Palestine is that they are resisting the occupation of their land by Israel. We should condemn the position by the United Nations,which is the same position held by South Africa of a two state-existence as a proposed solution to the conflict. No Israel must be told to vacate Palestine,period!!!.
It is for these reasons some of us are calling for the expulsion of the Israel Embassy from South Africa not just that but for South Africa to end all the relations with the Murderous and Apartheid Israel. No justification can be provided for continuing any relations with Israel.
