South Africa, (The Palestine Information Centre)The Palestinian struggle for liberation is one that resonates with South Africans who faced a similar regime, with recent developments in the region highlighting how some have not abandoned their past racist ideals.
The developments in Palestine stir up a range of emotions in South Africans, religious, humanitarian, historical, and personal.
As a young person when I participated in the struggle against apartheid, I could immediately identify with the Hamas fighters breaking out … It was a moment of excitement, a moment in which I would have wanted to step out of the ghettos in which we were living.
I could fully understand and appreciate the frustration under which the people of Gaza have been living and the fighters of Hamas have been operating.
