    What an extremely powerful argument. South Africa deserves a great deal of respect for its recent actions. Shame on the American and European powers whose complicity is absolute.

      It’s painful that we are allowing this. In 1988, the US, Britain, and Israel were still fighting the UN to stop sanctions against the ruling South African government and suppling weapons and surveillance systems to continue to repress the indigenous people. Times haven’t changed.
