ANC Supports Protest against Israel

Thursday, the African National Congress (ANC), South Africa's ruling party, was supporting completely the campaign by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel, as per the revelations of a recent report.

The ANC has set a number of resolutions at its 53rd National Conference, which could beat the Jewish state. As per the findings, some policies have been adopted by the group, which urge people in South Africa to stand in aid of all Palestinian campaigns.

Since, these campaigns are pressurizing Israel to bring an end to its violations of international law. Also, the campaigns are meant to make them respect Palestinian human rights as well as to get engaged in fair negotiations so that peace could be realized and enjoyed.

The state-sponsored xenophobic attacks by Israel were strictly criticized by the ANC and it also opposed the expulsion of African migrants by Israel. A plan was also approved by the South African cabinet in August, which asked products from the settlements to contain special labels so that these do not have "Made in Israel" label.

"The ANC is unequivocal in its support for the Palestinian people struggling for self-determination and unapologetic in its view that the Palestinians are the victims in the conflict with Israel", a resolution affirmed.
