Gaza solidarity encampments, which started on U.S. college campuses, have now spread worldwide as students call on their educational institutions to divest from companies profiting from Israeli apartheid and occupation. The uprising echoes the anti-apartheid movement of the 1980s, when many in civil society called for divestment from companies that profited from South Africa's system of racial domination. Democracy Now! explored the parallels this week with South African-born novelist and playwright Gillian Slovo, whose parents were legendary anti-apartheid activists Joe Slovo and Ruth First. "I have been to the West Bank, and I had a childhood in South Africa. I knew what apartheid looked like," Slovo says. "When I went to the West Bank, what I saw was apartheid in action."

Crimnal states help each other, righteous people around the globe should also come together and support justice.
you mean you support ethnic cleaning for Islamic jihad, yeah, you cant muddy words here since we already know the truth.
I'm extremlely grateful and thankful for voices like hers. Thank you!
And Nelson Mandela supported Palestine
Everyone can objectively tell it's pure apartheid in Palestinian occupied territory even if they have witnessed the south Africa apartheid .. Thanks for speaking up Gillian Slovo ❤️ calling for justice for Palestinians as equal humans isn't antisemitism 🇵🇸
Thank❤🌹🙏 you for truthful news, Democracy Now! 🤗
Young people in increasingly large numbers of all backgrounds are seeing what the global South had been saying for decade after decade after decade
Young people are impressionable and easily swayed by misinformation. Yet, a vast majority of us fought against Islamic extremism, youre not convincing us now that they are the good guys here.
I visited the West Bank too and I was appalled by what I saw there. The Arabs were segregated, but I thought it was for safety. It's like a self perpetuating prophecy
The young generation are different than their parent they don’t watch TV or drink Alcohol
Their Parents were too busy fighting a war against Islamic extremism and now teachers are trying to convince the kids their parents are the bad guys. Not the Islamic extremists that straps bombs to kids to other kids for trying to learn how to read. Why do you promote Islamic Theocracy and ethnic cleansing?
Thank you bernie
100% right!
Thank you Gillian slovo for speaking out!!!!!
Bless you, courageous women!
Yes we must stand up to Zionism and the US empire across the world.
Gillian Slovo - Thank you & DN for this wonderful piece! ♥️
Jo Slovo, Helen Suzman, the list of Jewish anti apartheid activists in South Africa during apartheid is immense.

Free our government from Aipac.
The world knows
Dr Jill Stein for Potus 2024,
south africa has the world's highest unemployment rate at 33%. youth unemployment exceeds 60%. Poverty has risen to 55.5% it has africa's highest murder rates. all courtesy of the people who took over after apartheid ended
@@TomT-bo1yr your reply has nothing to do with my comment
South Africa is an economic basket case with the most appalling crime rate. When I was there in 2016 at night we could not leave our hotel. Beautiful country that was destroyed by incompetence.
@@TomT-bo1yr "doesnt justify apartheid" ok genius, what does. how bad does it need to get?
@@patrickderp1044 are you seriously arguing we need apartheid
@patrickderp1044: Grow up
Yesterday, had a conversation with person who was ok with racist South Africa, & Elon Musk for his “South African” bigotry & racism.
What a garbage statement!
Mandela the biggest disaster that happened to SA
No he wasn't.
Gillian, I never heard that the South African government would get attacked with rockets.....
Have you heard that the Black South African, indigenous people were not routinely bombed and slaughtered from the air, and shelled by tank and artillery fire?
@@ArleeStarr Seems to me that the Palestinians should stop launching rockets because they justify Israel's response.
@@ArleeStarryou must live in a parallel universe?
Pro-Hamas propaganda. Thanks Amy!
Iran must be happy.
pathetic pscyho bot
Mouthpiece bot
Talk shyte.
OH WHAT UTTER JUNK.
