I feel like this is the ANCYL riding on anything that has been in the press of late and trying to garner media attention from it.

Truly, it is exhausting. Why don’t they go and build some houses or a new school, or volunteer to deliver school books, and create their own attention?

Now, the ANCYL is protesting against Woolworths for selling products from Israel. They want South Africans to “boycott Woolworths for supporting an ‘apartheid state'”.

The protest on Monday was led by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Against Israel movement in South Africa.

“The apartheid state of Israel should be boycotted economically. We [consumers] should not be paying for the bullets and the bombs that are used against children in Palestine.”

Am I allowed to think that not every Israeli in Israel is trying to kill the people of Gaza? Woolworths has been very open from the beginning, saying that they do not source their products from occupied territories.

Braam Hanekom, from the ANCYL, said they will be “discouraging all members of the youth league, the Young Communist League and the SA Communist Party” from shopping at Woolworths.

War or no war, I’ll still shop at Woolies.
