Chairperson, I give notice that I shall move at the next sitting of the Council:
That the Council -
(1) noting that -
(a) the Democratic Alliance is fully aware of the human rights atrocities committed by the apartheid state against our people before 1994;
(b) the struggle of the people of South Africa is not dissimilar to the struggle of the Palestinian people against oppression and exploitation;
(c) the landless masses of South Africa suffered a similar fate to that which the landless people of Palestine have suffered; and
(d) the essential tenets of the apartheid system were not unlike the essential tenets of the strategy of the Israeli state against the people of Palestine; and most fundamentally, the death of Muhammad Al-Durra, an innocent 12-year-old Palestinian boy, in the hands of his father, caused by live bullets from the brutal Israeli security forces, is a repeat of the death of Hector Peterson in Soweto in 1976 by live bullets from the brutal apartheid security forces,
(2) calls on the Democratic Alliance and its leader, Tony Leon, to -
(a) state categorically whether they see a comparison between the apartheid struggle and the struggle of the Palestinian people;
(b) condemn the brutal human rights violations committed by the Israeli state against the people of Palestine;
[Interjections.]
(c) undertake to viciously fight against a repetition of our apartheid history ... [Interjections.]
