S Africa: World must urge Israel to stop ‘crime against humanity’ in Gaza

Al Jazeera  

The world has seen enough of the tragedy in Gaza and it is time for countries to use their influence over Israel to put a stop to “this real crime against humanity”, South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor has said. “It is only countries that have influence over Israel who can stop this real crime against humanity that we are seeing right before our eyes.” The Palestinian people experience conditions similar to those in apartheid South Africa, she added. Palestinian authorities have said that more than 11,200 people in Gaza, more than a third of them children, have been killed since Israel began its attack on the Gaza Strip in retaliation for an attack by Hamas that Israeli authorities say killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians. “And these are innocent Palestinian people who have suffered decades of harassment and occupation.” That occupation, she said, also has “very, very clear similarities,” to some of the practices that defined apartheid South Africa.
