WHY AFRICANS SHOULD BE ANTI-ZIONIST

As African people, we often feel a close connection with others fighting colonialism and imperialism. But the anti-Zionist current within the Pan-African movement is not only about empathising with Palestinians, it’s about Israel's role as an oppressive power on the African continent.

In this video, Ahjamu Umi of @aaprpinternational, gives some clear examples of both. From Uganda’s clash with Israel in the 1970s to Tel Aviv arming Ethiopia to counter a pro-Palestinian Eritrea. He also highlights how Israel, along with the US, arms and trains African police. That’s why you’ll see them kitted out like the Israeli Defence Forces. Israel's links to the continent run deep and Ahjamu ends by saying, 'a conscious African needs to be anti-Zionist.' Do you agree?
