‘It is a genocide in Gaza. Thank you SA for doing something’- Israelis Against Apartheid

Lester Kiewit speaks to Ofer Neiman, a member of Israelis Against Apartheid.

Listen to the interview in the audio below.

Among the many signatories of South Africa’s ICJ case is an Israel based group called Israelis Against Apartheid.

Their activists have been vocal in speaking out against the atrocities taking place in Gaza.

“The war in Gaza is a genocide.Thank you South Africa for doing something about it.”

- Ofer Neiman, a member of Israelis Against Apartheid

They believe that "Israel is killing, injuring, traumatising, and displacing of Palestinians and denying water, food, medicine, and fuel to an occupied population meet the criteria for the crime of genocide."

Neiman says that there are many Israelis that are against the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, if not necessarily against the war.

He says that he strongly supports the idea of international pressure on Israel in order to force a change in power, as that is unlikely to come from within.

“There is so much fear and loathing towards Palestinians here, that has been the case for decades, that is the essence of Zionism.”

- Ofer Neiman, a member of Israelis Against Apartheid

“I would not count on some good will here and a vision coming from Jewish Israelis.”
