South Africa’s African National Congress endorses Israel boycott, handing BDS movement a victory

JOHANNESBURG (JTA) -- South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress, voted to make boycotts, divestment and sanctions of Israel part of its official policy.

In a resolution passed Thursday night, at the tail end of its conference this week, the ANC proclaimed it was "unapologetic in its view that the Palestinians are the victims and the oppressed in the conflict with Israel." The conference called on "all South Africans to support the programs and campaigns of the Palestinian civil society which seek to put pressure on Israel to engage with the Palestinian people to reach a just solution."
