AROUND 20 years ago, our party said we — the communists, the left, the forces of anti-imperialism — must make Palestine the “anti-apartheid cause of the 21st century.”
In other words, we should give at least the same priority, solidarity and effort to struggle for an independent, sovereign Palestinian state as we had to the struggle for a democratic, non-racial South Africa. That struggle against 20th century apartheid was led by the “revolutionary alliance” of the African National Congress, Cosatu (the Congress of South African Trades Unions) and the South African Communist Party.
Communists played a heroic role in that titanic struggle inside the country and across the world. We emphasised the need for unity around the one overriding aim: to abolish the apartheid system in South Africa.
