South Africa and the Middle East

SA has shown it's anti-Israel bias too many times for any fair minded person to ever regard SA as an impartial broker.

SA Ashould butt out of the Middle East and clean up her own backyard i.e Zimbabwe once.

Does SA really think Israel will allow anti-Israel hate-mongers and pro-terror advocates like Ronnie Kasrils and Willy Madisha to be involved in shaping their future?
