K. , to withdraw from the alliance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApart from backing the wrong moral side, we may also be backing the wrong economic and real political one,\u201d he wrote. In comments to Crux, Chatteris argued that South Africa\u2019s legal challenge to Israel is hypocritical given its relationship with Russia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSouth Africa is taking Israel to the International Criminal Court for genocide but our stance towards Russia, is at odds with that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can be sure that we will not be taking Russia to court ever. We may even have been quietly supplying Russia with military equipment. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Putin opines that Ukraine does not really exist as a country and when he is accused of deporting Ukrainian children to Russia, I think it is justified to make accusations of genocide,\u201d he said. Chatteris was quick to emphasize that he wasn\u2019t attempting to defend Israel\u2019s war in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs Israel committing genocide? Israel\u2019s highly destructive means, the terrible civilian casualties, along with some of the wild statements of some members of its government, certainly suggest that there is a case to answer,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, not every Catholic commentator in South Africa shares his view that Russia and Israel are, in a sense, equally at fault. Johan Viljoen, director of the Denis Hurley Peace Institute of the Southern African Bishops\u2019 Conference, told Crux that he rejects suggestions of moral equivalence between Israel\u2019s invasion of Gaza and Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn all fairness, the war in Ukraine has not seen the indiscriminate mass destruction of urban infrastructure, the deliberate attacks on hospitals and the mass killings of children, women, the elderly that has happened in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli Defense Forces,\u201d Viljoen told Crux.<\/p>\n<p>[The Russian war on Ukraine] has been more \u201cconventional warfare,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe day Russian forces surround and occupy Kiev, carpet bomb its residential areas, hospitals, schools, killing everyone in sight, then this question can be revisited,\u201d Viljoen said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut for now the two situations are not the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mauritius\">Mauritius<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
