That's the best thing to throw in the faces of anti-BDS libs. Most of the time they will say "That's different." They are always unable to effectively answer the obvious follow-up of "why?"

I am curious, why didn't the West go as hard defending SA and their regional allies as much as Israel? England actually told Rhodesia to cool it a bit, they didn't get a fraction of the aid Israel has gotten in a year.

I guess Southern Africa is less geopolitical important?

The west didn't create SA from the ground up to use as a geopolitical tool, I'm sure they found them useful but not on the same level

Unless I'm wrong and they did, I don't know a huge amount about SA beyond that the Boer wars are a thing and white people be doin white people shit
