Background

Metalworkers union Numsa in S.A condemns Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and United States president Joe Biden for their actions in Palestine, accusing them of conducting a genocidal campaign against Palestinians. The union has announced its solidarity with Palestine, following a request from American activist Angela Davis. They have agreed to collaborate with Davis on a campaign to defend Palestine, mobilising support locally, regionally, and internationally. Numsa’s Phakamile Hlubi-Majola has called for the implementation of boycott, divestment, and sanctions against Israel.
