The governing ANC has lost all ability to condemn a clear violation of human rights by Hamas in Israel, writes Adriaan Basson.
For a party that has portrayed itself as a moral force for peace and freedom, the ANC's inability to sympathise with the people of Israel for the brutal attack by Hamas again exposes the depravity of the governing party.
In a three-page carefully worded statement released by the ANC's spokesperson, Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri, on Sunday, the party could not find the courage to condemn the brutal attack by a terrorist organisation of innocent civilians, including women and children.
