The west is really looking bad when South Africa and China are outshining them on this issue.

I imagine it's highly political, and likely directly due to the fact they are an adversary to the US. So let's not get carried away...

But yeah, it's pathetic the US just sent a billion dollars in munitions to Israel.

South Africa's a democracy with a history of opposing Israeli apartheid.

It's really not surprising that it's taking the lead on this.
