S. Africa Protests by COSATU, SAFTU & Palestine Movement Against US $ for Israel Genocide

On November 29, 2024 as part of a world day of action for Palestine, rallies took place at the US embassy and consulates in South Africa because of the US support for the Israeli genocide in Gaza. The rallies were supported in South Africa by COSATU, the Congress Of South African Trade Unions and SAFTU, the South Africa Federation of Trade Unions as well as the Palestine Solidarity Movement.

Solly Petoe who is the Deputy General Secretary of COSATU and Martin Jansen of the Palestine Solidarity Movement were two of the speakers at the protest at the US consulate in Capetown.

Both Israel and the US were also active supporters of the apartheid regime in South Africa and the AFL-CIO worked with the CIA to fund Zulu chief Buthelezi who got millions to organize and train gangsters to murder trade unionists in South Africa. Today the US and both political parties are supporting apartheid Israel and the funding billions for a massive genocide against the Palestinian people. The AFL-CIO is also supporting continued arming of Israel while it is committing genocide in Gaza, pogroms in the West Bank and the massive bombing and destruction in Lebanon.
