"Together we must demand the following: Lasting peace between Israel and Palestine. No amount of atrocities committed by the Israel apartheid state will silence and suppress Palestinian thirst for freedom, self-determination and nationhood .
"No amount of violence directed at Israel civilians by Hamas will aid the course of the Palestinian people. When the ANC was involved in the arms struggle against the racist apartheid regime civilians were never the target of military operations."
