Thousands of Capetonians marching to parliament to demand that the SA government bans doing business with the apartheid state seeking to erase the indigenous people of Palestine from their ancestral lands. We’ve witnessed a year of the most savage violence meted out in my lifetime as Israel drops 2000lb bombs on apartment buildings, schools, and refugee camps - funded by the USA, the UK, and Germany - killing tens of thousands and wiping out the last traces of the myth of the West as “global policeman”. Not since the US bombing of Cambodia has the world seen such a one-sided slaughter. Israel must be isolated economically and diplomatically until it can learn basic respect for humanity.
