South Africa: Thousands March in Cape Town, Call for Ceasefire in Gaza

Protesters demand that South Africans who join Israeli Defence Force be prosecuted

Several thousand people marched through the streets of Salt River, Cape Town, on Sunday in a show of solidarity for the people of Palestine.

Protesters made their way from Albert Road to a sports field outside the Blackpool community hall where a rally was held. Protesters held placards and flags, while chants of"free Palestine" and"stop the genocide, stop the hate" were heard. Reverend Allan Boesak called for the South African government to cut ties with Israel."Palestinians can do nothing while their children die," he said."Joe Biden cannot go to visit Israel and then say a few words about humanitarian aid and then give more billions to Israel just to keep the war going. That kind of hypocrisy must end now."
