EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW | WHY AFRICANS SHOULD OPPOSE ISRAEL :PART 1

As Israel's relentless violence against Palestinians in Gaza continues to cost thousands of lives, more and more people are educating themselves on the history of Z*onism. But how did Israel get the funds to create such a wealthy and powerful state to begin with?

We know the US is a major funder of the Isreali state today, but much of Israel's original wealth comes from the exploitation of African labour, land and resources. In this video, Pan-African organiser Ajamu Umi of @aaprpinternational explains how the brutal exploitation and colonisation of Palestine is linked the pillage and plunder of Africa.

As African people, we stand in firm solidarity with the Palestinian struggle. Not only because we can personally relate to their experiences, but also because Israel continues its exploitation of our continent. To this day, Israel profits extensively from Africa's diamonds, often known as 'blood diamonds' due to their links with imperialist-fuelled conflicts.
