We as South Africans sense, see, hear and feel to our core the inhumane, discriminatory policies and practices of the Israeli regime as an even more extreme form of the apartheid that was institutionalized against Black people in my country, coincidentally from the year 1948, and which lasted until 1994.

It is indistinguishable from settler colonialism, which has no place in the 21st century.
