OPINIONISTA: By downgrading its embassy in Israel, South Africa stands on the right side of historyPretoria’s downgrading of its Tel Aviv embassy and the ANC’s support for the liberation of the Palestinian people goes against the current international trend of shielding Israel and protecting it from repercussions for its policies and its disenfranchisement of millions of Palestinians. Absolute crap. As usual SA doesn’t know what it’s doing diplomatically. Defended Bashir,Mugabe,Maduro,-always attacking Israel,USA,West... Trump spoke about sh—hole countries.....

But your sort has always been on the wrong side of history, That is why you are despised
