He explains Israel’s history as an occupier, an international arms dealer, and a friend to apartheid-era South Africa itself. “Israel and apartheid South Africa had an incredibly close relationship,” he says. “Israel really assisted South Africa to remain a brutal apartheid state in that they provided huge amounts of weaponry, significant amounts of military training in the horrific techniques that they had used and continue to use in the occupied territories, but most important of all enabled South Africa to become a nuclear power.” Israel, he believes, will become a pariah state just like South Africa did. But it isn’t just the occupiers that tie the countries together. “The South African struggle for liberation was always fraternal with the Palestinian struggle for liberation,” he explains, which explains why South Africa is taking huge political, financial, and security risks by bringing the US’s client state to court. “When Nelson Mandela emerged after 27 years in imprisonment, he didn’t dance and shout and say yay I’m free, but instead he said: ‘Our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinian people.’ “The struggle of the Palestinian people is really at the forefront of South African politics.” Subscribe for the full interview with Andrew Feinstein where he explains the extent to which South Africa is taking a risk by challenging Israel and the US, the fight for Palestinian freedom in the International Court of Justice, and the shadow world of international arms trade. 00:00 Intro 00:50 The Four Food Groups of News 14:17 Andrew Feinstein interview 19:02 Israel's dark history with South Africa 26:59 The ICJ Case 35:48 South Africa's huge risk Learn more about your ad choices.
