Julius Malema, leader of South Africa's main opposition party, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has vowed to send arms to Hamas if his party becomes part of the next coalition government.
Hamas is a Palestinian terrorist organization that aims to destroy Israel and establish an Islamic state.the charter He also calls for the murder of Jews around the world. It is funded and armed by Iran, which seeks to expand its terrorist influence around the world.
Nevertheless, Malema, a radical black nationalist who heads a communist party, defends Hamas and not only sever diplomatic relations with Israel, but also arms the terrorist organization to continue its murderous activities. I swore.
Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) distributed Malema's remarks were made on Tuesday, but are dated from October.
He said:
There is nothing wrong with what Hamas does.
…
Once in office next year, the EFF will provide weapons to Hamas and ensure it has the equipment it needs to fight for freedom.
[…]
Comrades, we will not only arm Hamas, we will remove it. [Israeli] Because you can't be in an embassy, in the same area with murderers, breathing the same air as people who murder innocent people.
Mr Malema cited the example of Nelson Mandela, who took up arms against apartheid in South Africa. But unlike Hamas, Mandela tried nonviolence before turning to violence. He stopped the violence once negotiations began. And he did not target civilians.
Malema is famous for his abuse of white South Africans and has vowed to use force to seize white-owned farms, despite the fact that such policies nearly starved neighboring Zimbabwe. There is. He also defended the use of the song “Kill the Boers”. [Farmer]'' and has faced repeated court accusations that the song incites racial hatred and anti-white violence.
Ironically, one of Malema's lawyers, Thembeka Ncukaitobi, represented South Africa in its “genocide” claims against Israel in The Hague. He claims that “kill the Boers” is not meant to be taken literally, and that Israeli leaders' quoting of the Bible is a command for genocide.
Not all black South Africans agree with Malema's views. MEMRI also cites the example of Bafana Modise, president of the South African Friends of Israel, who has publicly supported Israel's war against Hamas. To tell oppressing Palestinians.
EFF was the third largest political party in 2019 election In South Africa, it received more than 10% of the vote. South Africa is preparing for elections this year. The ruling African National Congress (ANC) could lose its majority for the first time in its history.
If that happens, a coalition government will have to be formed. A coalition government could be led by the liberal Democratic Alliance (DA), but is likely to involve a combination of the ANC and other parties, most likely the EFF, to bring new radicalism to power. it will bring.
