As a South African born into apartheid and having been subjected to it, what Palestinians are experiencing is infinitely worse. It's apartheid on steroids. We had violence gunshots and segregation but we didn't have bombs fighter jets and white phosphorus used on us as civilian population. When Palestine is liberated they would have to coin a new word for what they have experienced because they truly have suffered so much more

“The people of South Africa will never forget the support of the state of Israel to the apartheid regime.” ~ Nelson Mandela on being released in 1990

As a South African we have sent this before but Apartheid in Israel is on steroids..Apartheid South Africa also had Israeli, UK and USA support..

Aparthied means overcontrol of every possible resource, travel, and movement. It's an inability to live and move freely. It's about having an outside force that controls every asset of your life and society. They decide how much electricity and water you get. The banking system is also competitive captured and monitored by occupied group. If someone wants to send money to oppressed nation then he needs to send this money to occupiers and occupiers will decide whether this money should go to oppressed nation or not.

This is what prominent South Africans said about Israeli Apartheid. Please note that these statements were made at least ten years ago. Since then, the situation for Palestinians has become drastically worse. 'Apartheid for South Africans was a picnic compared to what we have witnessed in the occupied territories' Baleke Mbate Former Deputy President of South Africa 'It is hard to describe what I am feeling. What i see here is worse. Worse. Worse than everything we endured' Nozizile Madalala Former South African Minister of Health 'Apartheid for Palestinians is worse than conditions for blacks under the Apartheid regime in South Africa' Kgalema Motlante Former President of South Africa 'I support the Palestinian struggle against Israeli Apartheid because it is what my grandfather would want me to do' Mandla Mandela 'To equate what is going on in Israel today with South Africa when South Africa was under Apartheid laws is a gift to Israel ' Naom Chomski

During Apartheid, Nelson Mandela was labeled a terrorist. In fact, Mandela remained on U.S. terrorist watch lists until 2008. Israel benefited from Apartheid by going around the arms embargo by supplying weapons to the South African government.

I dont see how anyone can "both sides are bad" this situation while knowing all the history context and facts. Its crazy how effective the propaganda has been on some people

The blacks in South Africa are related to the Zanj people and as opposed to what others would say, they have a reasonable amount of history that impacted the world for centuries. People can't just deny the history and existence of a whole group based on their own biases.

Well the grandaddy was called Jim Crow…. Which now is proud to see it’s grandson all grown up and carrying on the legacy

How is Sandra getting more and more beautiful with each passing episode❤❤❤

Truly one of the finest journalists around, Al Jazeera´s Sandra Gathmann - an educator every bit as much as a reporter.

اللَّهُمَّ أَحْسِنْ عَاقِبَتِنَا فِي الأُمُورِ كُلِّهَا ، وَأَجِرْنَا مِنْ خِزْيِ الدُّنْيَا وَعَذَابِ الآخِرَةِ
