South African President Cyril Ramaphosa posted a video Saturday of a speech he delivered to a rally in support of Palestinians in the wake of a devastating terrorist attack by Hamas that saw 1,300 Israelis murdered, 3,600 wounded, and 100-200 kidnapped.Ramaphosa spoke in front of a backdrop of electrified fencing, a common sign in South Africa, where violent crime is rampant and murder is at its highest rate ever. He wore a Palestinian, on murder & robbery in South Africa.
Ramaphosa did not condemn Hamas terror, and said that the South African government stood in solidarity with the “people of Palestine.” He said that South Africa had expressed condolences to both Israelis and Palestinians, but only noted that it had expressed solidarity with the latter. He detailed what he called “atrocities” against Palestinians, without once describing the brutality of the Hamas terror attacks.
He defended Palestinians as “people under occupation who have been waiting a struggle against an oppressive government that has occupied their land,” and added that Israel had recently been “dubbed an apartheid state.” Ramaphosa also said Palestinians were aggrieved at the presence of “settlers so close and into their land,” though Israel pulled all of its settlers out of Gaza in 2005.
