WHY AFRICANS UNDERSTAND PALESTINIAN STRUGGLE
Award-winning journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates spoke out against Israel's 'segregationist apartheid regime' based on his experiences earlier this year visiting the occupied West Bank.
In this excerpt from his 2 November interview with US news outlet Democracy Now, he described his experience going through an Israeli checkpoint and how the guards would determine if you were able to pass based on your ethnicity and religion.
He drew comparisons between the segregation and apartheid in Israel to that of discriminatory 'Jim Crow' policies in the United States and said that the matter was not as complicated as laid out in mainstream media. It is, instead, a clear form of injustice and racism.
The author is not the first to be shocked at the situation in the occupied West Bank. Human rights groups, such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, as well as UN experts, have all called the Israeli status quo in the occupied Palestinian territories an apartheid system of governance. Today, as the people of Gaza witness what has been called by many a genocide, the people of the Occupied West Bank are also suffering.
The Israeli military, as well as Israeli settlers, have attacked Palestinians in the West Bank, killing more than 500 Palestinians since 7 October and displacing hundreds more from their homes. On top of that, Israel killed more than 35000 people in the Gaza Strip and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his minister of defence, Yoav Gallant, have now been issued a warrant of the arrest by the International Criminal Court.
