Hon Minister, in its international solidarity conference in 2012 the ANC adopted boycotts, divestments and sanctions as a strategy to deal with the international isolation of Israel. It did this, and it said this was because Israel is an apartheid, colonial, occupationist state which denies the people of Palestine the right to self-determination.
Negotiations have failed. Israel bombed Gaza during negotiations last year. So you can't insist on saying negotiations, negotiations, while you yourselves agreed at your conference that the only route is boycotts, divestments and sanctions.
Therefore, we are asking when you as government are implementing boycotts, divestments and sanctions as an international solidarity strategy against Israel, particularly as it pertains to the diamonds of South Africa being cut in Israel.
Viva, Leila Khaled! Viva!
