South Africa's Mbeki Urges Boycott Of Israeli Goods + OIC Censures Israel For ‘War Crimes’ Against Gaza + UK May Halt Arms Exports To Apartheid Israel + Israeli Offensive Inflicts Losses On Gaza Fishery

"ISRAEL IS AN APARTHEID STATE!
STOP ISRAELI MURDER!"
South Africa’s former President Thabo Mbeki has called for a boycott of Israeli goods to show solidarity with Palestinian people.
Zionist Orwellian UK BANNED Press TV:  Mbeki said in an address to students at the University of South Africa in Pretoria that the public should mobilize against Israel so that it does pay a price for the position that it is taking.”
South African political parties, trade unions and religious groups should join forces for a boycott of Israeli products and divesting from Israeli companies, he added.
People in South Africa have historically supported the Palestinians as they compare the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa with the Palestinian cause, and criticize the Israeli regime’s apartheid policies towards the oppressed Palestinian nation.
On Saturday, nearly 50,000 protesters staged a massive pro-Palestinian rally in South Africa’s second-most populous city, Cape Town, to voice their outrage at the Israeli regime’s massacre of innocent people in the blockaded Gaza Strip.
The organizers called for a decisive action from the South African government against the Israeli attacks, killings, displacement and destruction of the Gaza Strip.”

The apartheid regime of Israel denies about 1.8 million people in Gaza their basic rights, such as freedom of movement, jobs that pay proper wages, and adequate healthcare and education.
Israeli warplanes have been carrying out incessant airstrikes against the blockaded Gaza Strip since July 8. On July 17, thousands of Israeli soldiers launched a ground invasion into the densely-populated strip.
More than 1,940 Palestinians, including a large number of women and children, have so far lost their lives and nearly 10,000 have been wounded in the Israeli offensive.

OIC Censures Israel For
War Crimes’ Against Gaza
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has decried the Israeli regime’s “war crimes” against Palestinians of the besieged Gaza Strip.
Zionist Orwellian UK BANNED Press TV: The 56-member group released a statement following a ministerial meeting in the Saudi city of Jeddah, condemning, “in the liveliest terms,” “the occupying force, for war crimes it doesn’t stop committing in the Palestinian territories.”

Israel should immediately cease its aggression against the Palestinian people and shoulder political and legal responsibility for war crimes,” the OIC said.
Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal said at the meeting that a peace deal with Palestinians was the only way for Tel Aviv to survive.
The OIC also called for a meeting of donors for the reconstruction of Gaza, which has been torn apart by the Israeli regime’s offensive.

UK May Halt Arms Exports To Apartheid Israel
The British government says that it will suspend part of its arms exports to Israel if Tel Aviv renews its military actions in the Gaza Strip. 

Zionist Orwellian UK BANNED Press TV: UK Business Secretary Vince Cable said on Tuesday that Britain has identified 12 component licenses that could be used in Israeli military equipment, such as tanks, aircraft and radar parts, in Gaza.
Cable also said the UK government has not been able to clarify if the export license criteria are being met, and in relation to that uncertainty, the decision has been made to suspend these existing export licenses in the event of a resumption of significant hostilities.
No new licenses of military equipment have been issued for use by the Israeli forces during the review period, and “as a precautionary measure this approach will continue until hostilities cease,” he added.
The business secretary’s office said that the suspended licenses would not include components for Israel’s “Iron Dome” missile system.
A recent report by British parliamentary committee for arms export controls shows that Israel received around £8 billion in the form of 400 arms licenses from the UK in 2013.

Israeli Offensive Inflicts Losses On Gaza Fishery
The besieged Gaza Strip’s fishing sector has been hit hard by the Israeli regime’s offensive on the coastal enclave, Press TV reports.
Zionist Orwellian UK BANNED Press TV: On Tuesday, Palestinian fishermen used a three day truce between resistance movement Hamas and Tel Aviv to check on the damage to their boats and fishing equipment.

“We haven’t gone fishing for around two months. Even when we do, we actually lose money. We can barely find fish within three nautical miles and we end up paying for fuel more than the money we make,” said Gazan fisherman Hani al-Assi.
Palestinian boats are permitted to fish up to six nautical miles from the Gaza coast according to the terms of Israel's naval blockade on the impoverished enclave, however, Israelis open fire at them after three nautical miles.
Tel Aviv has targeted Gaza’s boats and warehouses during the deadly offensive.
“I lost all my fishing equipment after Israel targeted the warehouse. That was all I had. I have no idea why Israel bombed it. Now I don’t even know what to do. I need to start… all over again. Who will feed my family and take care of them till then?”said another Gazan fisherman, Kamal Dawas.
