But do you Glorianny withdraw your comparison of Gaza to a concentration camp?
No because as I have repeatedly said it is not MY comparison it is the view of many others and in particular the President of South Africa and South African lawyers.
If you don't understand all the borders of Gaza are controlled by Israel, even the Rafah crossing into Egypt operates under their control. Palestinians have no right of movement. They have restricted access to power and water which Israel maintains. Any industry and agriculture is restricted because of the lack of power and water. They cannot fish, sail or otherwise access the sea. There is a fence around Gaza and any Palestinian approaching it is liable to be shot. Palestinian homes are routinely raided by the IDF and prisoners are held without trial, many of them children. Palestinians living in Gaza cannot marry a Palestinian from the West Bank and should they do so they will be separated.
Gaza is a huge concentration camp
South Africa is in no position to preach to anyone about security or human rights, they are commenting to divert attention from their own shortcomings.
The Cape tourist areas are probably safe to visit the rest of the country is seeing regular high jacking and robbery, you take a guide everywhere, you don’t go out after dark. Violence is even worse within the local population, corruption is routine, and worst of all at higher levels
Ah the old if you can't disprove something attack those making the claim. South Africa may have its problems internally, but it is a leading light on the abuse of human rights. Possibly because they went through a long period when many people were denied them, and people called terrorists, who were fighting for those rights, were imprisoned and tortured. The period which saw equality established needed legal and ethical supervision. Which is where the South African expertise came from.
Denying something because a country has internal problems isn't really valid or logical is it?
