CITY OF CAPE TOWN SHOULD END ISRAELI RELATIONS
|
The Israeli Government, it is well known, collaborated with Apartheid South Africa. Part of that collaboration included the 1975 City of Cape Town twinning with the Israeli City of Haifa. The City of Cape Town should follow the lead of the City of Johannesburg, end its relations with Israel and twin instead with a Palestinian city. Click here to write to the Mayor of CT.

CITY OF JOHANNESBURG TWINS WITH PALESTINIAN CITY OF RAMALLAH |
South Africa's economic hub, the City of Johannesburg, should be commended for its recent twinning agreement and signing of a memorandum of cooperation with that of the Palestinian City of Ramallah. The twinning with a city of an

Palestine.
