Julius Malema, President of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EEF) – South Africa’s third-largest political party – argued that Hamas has “done nothing wrong” and that the terrorist organization should “shoot to kill” Israeli citizens.
Malema, who rose to prominence across the world after supporting the murder of white farmers in South Africa with his ‘kill the Boer‘ chant earlier this year, staged a mass protest outside the country’s Israeli embassy in which he urged the hundreds-strong crowd to boycott Jewish shops in the country.
“There is nothing wrong with what Hamas did. When you are oppressed, the only option you have is to fight and that’s what Hamas is doing. They are fighting for their freedom. Mandela did the same thing. He took up their guns and fought for the freedom of the people of South Africa,” he argued.
“When you are oppressed, you only have one option: confront the enemy and shoot to kill,” he added. Malema further explained that his party would arm and fund Hamas if elected next year.
Farm Murders in South Africa have been skyrocketing, with a 167 percent increase in the second quarter of 2023.
