Unveiling Injustice: Apartheid and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict by Frank Chikane

- Frank Chikane's remarks at the Conference of Civil Society Working Group on the Question of Palestine, organized by the UN Palestinian Rights Committee (Geneva, 3-4 April 2024), focus on drawing parallels between apartheid experiences in South Africa and the Israeli treatment of Palestinians. He begins by recounting his first visit to Palestine/Israel in 1988, where he immediately identified the Israeli regime from the Jordan to the Mediterranean as "more than just a racist apartheid system." Chikane's observations over multiple visits, including the displacement threats faced by families in Sheikh Jarrah and discriminatory laws favoring Jewish claims over Palestinian lands, fortified his view of systemic racism and apartheid. He underscores the historic backdrop of the 1947/48 Nakba following U.N. Resolution 181, which he believes instigated ongoing conflicts and displacement, calling it a "racist Zionist ideology" aimed at eradicating Arab Palestinians from their homeland.
Chikane also discusses the broader implications of historical injustices and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He criticizes the global response, particularly the complicity of Western nations in overlooking atrocities against Palestinians, which he compares to the genocide in Gaza. Highlighting the upcoming Global Anti-Apartheid Conference, Chikane calls for international solidarity similar to that mobilized against apartheid in South Africa, aiming to end Israel's "apartheid regime and promote coexistence". He calls for "comprehensive sanctions against Israel" to acknowledge and correct injustices, emphasizing that real security and peace in the region can only stem from mutual justice and security for both Israelis and Palestinians. Chikane concludes with a reflection on the transient nature of power and the imperative for those in power to pursue justice universally, not just for narrow interests.

This is an outstanding speech against apartheid.
❤❤❤Thank you for speaking the truth, but we WANT action, we want the roles to be reversed
Such eloquence, courage, brevity and show of knowledge. Very clear, concise and unscripted rendition of the crimes committed by the colonial empire and its pawns. Thank you sir❤
Honest person who talks truth. Good human being.🎉
“…If one has power, one must use it circumspectly, for the good of humanity…” Thank you, Sir.✊❤️
Thank you Mr. Chikane, for your review of the history which brought us to this tragic time!
Racism in any form has to be stopped. Each and every human being have the right to live a dignified life. Hope that the UN will take adequate measures in that direction.
it is true sir. It started from the very beginning
Thanks Sir❤❤❤
Wow. I did not know this.
POST THIS GLOBALLY !!!! A MUST SEE , from kindergarten on and repeated annually throughout our lives.....lest we forget ...
South Africa is leading the world!!!
Thank you
❤❤❤❤❤
Imagine what Israel did to the Palestinians when we couldn't see their crimes on our phones.
NATHANYAHU WANTS the CONTROL for GAZA there's others WHO have SHARES OUTSIDE INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED NOW Thank you 🌹
#FreePalestine #BoycottIsrael #ImpeachBiden #FreeYemen #FreeSyria #FreeUyghurs #FreeRohingya #FreeSudan
It's all talks . Do something Save innocent Human Being lives. Damned you
South Africa is doing more than anybody
@rezakarampour6286 the UN is a democratic institution which relies on votes by the member states. Since its formation, the colonialists countries (US, UK & Russia) reserved seats in the Security Council and although many countries after gaining independence have voted to hold Israel to account for violating international laws, the West (US, UK & EU) have always used their veto. The way to overcome this problem is to ensure that every US & UK & EU citizen votes for politicians that will not be corrupted with $millons$ from the pro-Israel pro-zionist lobbies and thereby allow UN to function properly.
Truthful. Independent analysis🤲🤲🤲💯
The United States could use some of Africa’s courage. So proud of Africa.
Is the best speech I have ever heard about Palestinians Apartheid, I agree with each one of his words!
Justice Freedom Peace End the Apartide Regime for HISNAMESSAKE ALONE PLEASE THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WORDS MAY THE TRUTH SET THE WORLD FREE AMN ❤️✌🏾💞🇵🇸💪🏾🌏🌍🌎🤳🏿👈🏿⚖️💯FREE PALESTINE TILL PALESTINE IS FREE GODSPEED❤
So clearly elucidated! How many governments are speaking out. What is the ICJ doing? How long does it take for those sleepy old judges to make a decision? Sickeningly slow old people!
@tarajoseph2860 the ICC and ICJ are facing severe political pressure from politicians of the West (US, UK & EU) - look at Biden's reaction in defying the ICC for issuing request for arrest warrants even though he was very happy when warrant was issued for Putin's arrest. The only way to get justice is for ALL citizens in democracies (esp. US, UK & EU) to vote for anti-zionist politicians to overcome $millions$ donations by rich zionist lobbyists.
The truth matters always.
Stop the genocide
Besides the fact that so many little souls have been murdered, countless others are so maimed that their whole lives can never be the same. Hiw many children with amputations? Think about what it will mean for children who have lost their families. Maimed with no family to care for them.
May 12th like next year?
The suffering is way too much. I am a lay person can someone write me that the May went by or next year please.
A honered leader shout learn and spread the truth , no matter what
Arafat , Climton snd Begin signed in a peace conference , that section C of samaria and Judea ( by dome of you better known as West Bank ) belong to the democratic republik of Israel.
Section D belong to the P.A. and Israël.
And section A belong to the P.A.
In Israel , oll kind of people lived together with the same rights
Colour , religie or man child of woman, everybody has the same rights and the same obligations.
If you do something wrong , you pay the price , no matter who you are , rich or poore black , broun or white , in an democraty , there are rules for everybody.
I read this is ,100 percent Turkish or Bulgarian cia must check
You dont know what you are talking about. Israel was attacked 3 may be 4 times by Arab countries. Why dont you just sherap😂
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
The land used to be called the land of Izzrael.
Their first king was king Saul (reigning in Jerusalemm 1021-1000BCE).
Nobody okkupy Palezztinians land.
Palezztinians are just Arabs who live in the land after invaded the land of Izzrael in 636AD.
In Israel there is no apartheid system, Arabs Christian Druze and Jews live in peace with full democratic and religious rights, Palestine is not part of Israel rather a terrorist state
Chicken sir, apartheid? Genocide? Your personal law verdict😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Agreed 100%
Excellent commentary
Well said 👍👍👍
@evelynmartinez9704Frank Chikane what’s funny about it??

Too many innocent men , women ,children and babies are being m*rdered. I feel so helpless.. Pls somebody do something,, Thank you for the kind speech dear sir. Good people of the world.. Pls stop this injustice..
Бомбитье Израиля Зло мире убици окупанти ФАШИСТИ вы можете сделать ещё более важные вопросы..МУСУЛЬМАН МИРА знает правду нефть труд васток земля кровь МУСУЛЬМАН ский дешевли.
Please stop Palestinians from wanting to wipe out Jew's, oh no you don't care about them.
On 6 November 1962, the United Nations General Assembly passed Resolution 1761, condemning South African apartheid policies.
It took 24 years for the USA :
The Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986 was a law enacted by the United States Congress. The law imposed sanctions against South Africa...
Thank you Sir for speaking the Truth!
@evelynmartinez9704 What so funny about a name called Frank Chikane.
@evelynmartinez9704 Why do you keep saying that, most probably living in a basement.
@evelynmartinez9704 what does that have to do with anything? Jesh!
Facts thank you sir.
Thank you South Africa
✊✊🏽✊🏿🌍🇿🇦💚🇵🇸☝️
From Jerusalem AlQuds
The ICC and ICJ WILL be RESPECTED by EVERYONE , EVERYONE Thank you 🌹
Khazaria Ashkenazi zionist monster's era is coming to an end
Not at the moment. Have had enough of their not taking action. Another 2 Russians have arrest warrants issued yet a genocide and ethnic cleansing, their own investigators calling it worst criminal army. Either they issue arrest warrants, force food in and stop this charade of allowing US to pretend ceasefire talks. They are the orchestrators of this genocide and Israhell the maniacs. UN should have invoked article 6 and expel US long time again. Israhell still allowed to be in UN. Worse than nazis
@evelynmartinez9704 Shut up Bot, you keep copy and pasting this everywhere.
Actually they won’t be because neither Israel nor the U.S. has accepted the jurisdiction of the ICC. That’s why the ruling had no effect, they are trying to enforce things from parties who are not part of it.
He's right. The same people who opposed liberating South Africa are the same ones now. This is why I hope we never colonize space. Because look at what we STILL do to each other.
The American leadership are dogs
WHY IS IT ALLOWED and WHO IS ALLOWING IT TELLS IT ALL Thank you 🌹
The US ,Brittain ,France and Germany who supplying them with weapons and bombs and money .Then telling the world that an occupying colonial apartheid state have right todefend itself against an occupied people .Thats not according to internation law.
Thank you so much to the honourable Sir Frank Chikane, 1 man alone has spoken so eloquently and straightforwardly on the true nature of this on going catastrophe without, I am unable to show my appreciation for your giving humanity hope and I wish that all leaders and those in power would show courage and the will to want justice and freedom like this great man. Jazak Allahu Khairon, Assalaam wa alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. Fi amanallah.
THANK you for your honesty ❤
Stop the genocide.
@evelynmartinez9704Created 3 years ago, no subscribers, and you're copy and pasting the same exact comment everywhere. Hasbara Bot detected.
Right just like the famine 🙄
The UN started the Palestine Israeli conflict by adopting Resolution 181 in 1947. What has the UN done to fix it? What is the UN doing to stop the illegal settlements and return the stolen land to Palestinians? How is the UN dealing with Israel's plan to annex the West Bank?
Please stop the Psychopaths . its beyond heartbreaking ..This was the most excellent and spot on speech ,, thank you !!
d'accordo
Free Free USA Free Free Palestine
UNITED NATIONS STAND UP and STOP NATHANYAHU NOW Thank you 🌹
Mind Begs the Question:
▪︎If a Politician Dehumanizes Jews as Rats - Fascist
▪︎If a Politician Dehumanizes Palestinians as Human Animals - Not Fascist?
It's not about Netanyahou it's all the settler colonialist project known as Israel. All of it from the very beginning actually. Read Ilan pappé or just listen what's said in the video
The entire American population will be assumed to be complicit if they fail to bring the American government to its knees and succum to word demands to bring about a ceasfire
Thank you reverend. Respect from one South African to another and Christian to Christian.
TRUTH WITH LOVE IS POWER. MOST RESPECT 🙏 TO YOUR PRESENTATION ❤
Thank you so much for educating most European sir
Thank you for saying what we have been shouting at the top of our throats Stop the Colonizers and stop 🛑 the genocide .
Stop the Russian Imperialism by stealth. Do you think we are stupid?
Brilliant.
He is well spoken,I hope international community takes him seriously, specially America stop playing politics,🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😡😡😡
Not conflict but occupation
❤ Thanks
Thank you Rev Chikane❤🇵🇸🇿🇦
Mr Chikane is 💯🎯
❤❤❤
This chilled me to the bone, because it’s true … the rotten and beautiful truth needs saying. 🇮🇪🇵🇸.
@evelynmartinez9704 yes. ♥️💪.
Thank you Sir ❤🇿🇦🇵🇸
Very well presented and articulated. Thank you for exposing the monster they created and supported in Palestine. We know for a certainty that if justice is not served by humans it will served by the Most High in a way that no one would expect. The apartheid entity's days are counted and justice will be served, this is a certainty.
South Africa will NEVER forget Palestine until Palestine is Free . Full Freedom for Palestine
It is the Palestinian people who stood in Solidarity and moral support of the South African people, in the time under Apartheid racists occupation and oppression. South African people destroyed the Apartheid Racists Oppressors system. South Africa will never Forget Palestine Until PALESTINE IS FREE.
Mind Begs the Question:
▪︎If a States policies are
▪︎Starvation,Death Camps,White Phosphorus Gassing,Dehumanization,Pogroms,Mass Graves,Ethnic Cleansing,etc
▪︎Must be - Supported or Boycotted?
Honorable man, I don't understand why the world allows this to happen.
I boycott them for years and speak out against what they have been doing. Yet there are still many with that wrong mindset.
Thank you 👍
Thank you sir..🎉for open true 👍
The UN needs to develop a mechanism by which their resolutions can be enforced.
@grahamfield1570 the UN is a democratic institution and relies on votes from the member countries. The UN, ICC and ICJ are facing severe political pressure from politicians of the West (US, UK & EU) - look at Biden's reaction in defying the ICC for issuing request for arrest warrants for Netanyahu even though he was very happy when warrant was issued for Putin's arrest. The only way to get justice is for ALL citizens in democracies (esp. US, UK & EU) to vote for anti-zionist politicians to overcome $millions$ donations by rich zionist lobbyists.
75 years of blockade.
Soooo right
Very good compassionate meaningful speech and I loved it❤❤❤.
The whole world is an apartheid planet. Not just one tiny region called Palestine ! Some people are privileged and spend their summer resting on the beach while others have to work hard just to survive.
👌🤝💪
Stop the psychopaths and their leader
Truth spoken sir.May you be abundantly blessed for your HUMANITARIAN views Free, free Palestine, Gaza 🤲🤲🤲🤲❤️
Great speech by SA Leader.
Oppression breeds Resistance Free Humanity Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Free Free beloved 💕 Palestine from South Africa
Usless U.N

well said, sir and thank you - irene
I am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 6 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 15,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 45,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967717415667 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/--~«««~-♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡♡♡~~~: ~:~¡~¡~¡~;I.i.i.i.i.i. i.I.|-
Thank you Sir!
FREE PALESTINEEE
Israel: "Oct 7! Oct 7! Oct 7!" ❌
Palestine: "Occupation and Apartheid regime on Palestine since 1948" ✅
How about Russian invaded Ukraine... Russia claims Ukraine is our people and land.....and china claims all south china sea is belong to china...rohingya and Kurdistan and ulgur
Thank you my brother, speak truth to the power of this wickedness. You must remain relentless!
I’m planning to move to South Africa one day. I have been reading up on dual citizenship. I know there are many problems there also. I’d rather deal with those problems, than to live under a government of pure wickedness. A government that has been bought out, and has sold out the whole country. A government paralyzed by the money and the power. Under a tight stranglehold.
Keep fighting for Palestine while at the same time building a better South Africa.
RESPECT 🙏 TO THE REVEREND FRANK CHIKANE, A TRUE ANTI APARTHEID FREEDOM FIGHTER 👏 PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦
