South Africa, the official birthplace of Apartheid was the scene of a massive anti apartheid rally. ISRAELI APARTHEID!

The keynote speaker was our very own exiled member of the Israeli Knesset, Azmi Bishara. Similar rallies were held in major cities throughout the world, including New York where this photo was taken… a photo of Bishara addressing the audience by video.

Apartheid will not go away on its own, it is a cancer that must be treated and fought like any other disease of its kind…. JOIN THE FIGHT!!!!

APARTHEID IN ISRAEL CAN BE BEATEN!

The following is a brief report on the meeting held in Soweto….

Stop the Wall and International – Israeli Apartheid Week 2008 was officially launched on Sunday, 3 February in Soweto, South Africa. Exiled Palestinian member of the Israeli Knesset, Azmi Bishara, addressed his lecture on the 60th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba, when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were displaced from their land to become what remains one of the world’s largest refugee populations. Bishara spoke under the banner ‘Silenced in Apartheid Israel – Welcomed in Soweto’ alongside prominent South Africans such as Eddie Maque, General Secretary of the South African Council of Churches.
