Thank you, that's a nice example that a nation can learn from its history and do better going forward. South Africa is on the moral right side in 2024, while most powerful countries pretend there isn't a genocide going on by the apartheid state of Israel. My home country of Canada, which has its own history of genocide (Indigenous peoples), has something to learn from South Africa, the Non-Aligned Movement, and other nations who are bravely standing up against the perpetrators of war crimes and their accomplices
Thanks! Why do you share it?
I think they're sharing it to say that disinvestment can truly lead to change, e.g. the BDS movement, which is probably why Israel so vociferously attacks BDS as being antisemitic.
That was my best guess too but I didn't want to assume. You said it really well
