I am from Vancouver,Canada and I wanted to say that the Africa-Israel Summit is an insult to all Palestinians and to the people of South Africa who went through Apartheid.Israel got an Apartheid Gov’t and there should be no collaboration with Israeli Apartheid by any African Gov’t. This upcoming summit should be boycotted by all African Countries.Any African Gov’t that participates in this summit should be condemned.
