Special statement to Syriatimes by Reneva Fourie member of the Central Committee and Politburo of South Africa’s Communist Party

“The Central Committee strongly denounced the apartheid Israeli regime Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for instructing the Palestinian people in Gaza to leave their homes and land. Netanyahu said this on Saturday, after Israel started shelling Gaza, a Palestinian enclave between Egypt and Israel.
We stand firmly with the Palestinian people.
The Palestinian people have embarked on an armed struggle, like us in South Africa when we formed uMkhonto weSizwe as part of our struggle to end colonial and apartheid oppression, economic exploitation and land dispossession. Western imperialist aligned media call the Palestinian’s armed struggle activities “completely unprovoked”. They say the Palestinians, referring to Hamas, “infiltrated Israel”. This is gibberish, as Israel is the aggressor. For 75 years since the apartheid Israeli settler state was formed and expanded on Palestinian lands, it has conducted ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people, unleashing pogroms on Palestinian people, constantly violating their human rights, and depriving them of their right to self- determination, among others.
We express our solidarity with the Palestinian people in their just struggle for the freedom of historical Palestine and national self-determination.”
