Camalita Naicker, The Con
The recent decision by the Congress of South African Students
(COSAS) to place a pig’s head in what was assumed to be the kosher section of
Woolworths, and then, in fact, turned out to be the halal section, could be
written off as a mere “fail of the week.”
But it is indicative of a far more serious and insidious
politics being cultivated by Boycott. Divestment. Sanctions-South Africa
(BDS-SA) who have proved unable and unwilling to run a disciplined and ethical
campaign in solidarity with Palestinians.
