LETTER: SA’s shocking double standards on Israel

It is Hamas’ actions that cause Israel, the EU and the US to regard it as a terrorist group. Though the UK previously had a “no-contact policy” with Hamas, it is also considering declaring Hamas a terrorist group. It is likely thatthe UK will formally end relations with Hamas and that of its political wing after a debate on the matter on Friday.

As with any other country, SA’s foreign policy stance regarding Israel and Palestine is influenced by the history of the liberation movement in SA. The ANC considers Palestinians as oppressed and it sides with Palestinians even when they murder innocent people. This leads one to question whether it is a government in power or a freedom fighter organisation with a limited world view.

Other countries and organisations throughout the world condemn the Palestinian militant group because it is no different to terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda or Boko Haram, with the same modus operandi.
