Betraying Nelson Mandela? Why South Africa Backs Israel’s Apartheid, with Prof. Patrick Bond
🔥What if dismantling Israeli apartheid isn't decided at the UN or in the US, but in the streets of Johannesburg?
South Africa’s celebrated transition from apartheid holds vital lessons and warnings for Palestine. Behind its iconic liberation lies a story of economic betrayal, elite capture, and unfinished justice—a narrative deeply relevant to today’s struggles.
In this exclusive interview, distinguished scholar-activist Prof. Patrick Bond explores what Palestine and global allies can genuinely learn from South Africa. He examines the effectiveness of global solidarity and Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS), while critically assessing the ANC’s embrace of neoliberal frameworks that compromised true liberation.
With profound insights into power, protest, and political compromise, Prof. Bond offers not just historical analysis, but a strategic blueprint for resistance—against apartheid, fossil-fueled imperialism, and the illusion that genuine liberation can be negotiated within oppressive systems.
