Amid a raging debate sparked by the ANC’s rebuke of Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng’s support for Israel, a political analyst and reverend yesterday entered the fray, lambasting the ruling party as being “hypocritical”.
Mabe described as “unfortunate for the chief justice to state that the government policy was binding upon himself and that he was not seeking to reject it, but then clearly and openly opposes it as a citizen”.The ANC, said Mabe, supported human rights and “stood with the oppressed Palestinians who are living under Israeli apartheid”.
Meanwhile, South African Friends of Israel has closed ranks behind Mogoeng, calling on the ANC to “leave the chief justice alone”, following attacks on him by the ruling party for supporting Israel. “Yet, following its personal attack on the chief justice, it would seem that it is being hijacked by those with their own foreign policy agenda, such as the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, who deny Jews and Christians their Biblical connections to Israel.
“We are united in our support of the chief justice and applaud his convictions to speak out as a Christian believer.”
