2026-10-16 05:51:55 +02:00 | Kayla | No I do not | Weaponising laws | As a Christian, I do not support legislation that could threaten freedom of religion, freedom of expression, or the right to peacefully express our biblical convictions. ??✝️ My faith is deeply rooted in the Bible, and Israel has an important place in God’s Word and in the story of our salvation through Jesus Christ. I believe Christians must be free to pray for Israel, study Scripture, visit the Holy Land, and express their beliefs without fear of being unfairly criminalised. South Africa is a constitutional democracy that should protect the rights of all its citizens, regardless of their religion or beliefs. We must be able to speak freely, disagree respectfully, and stand by our convictions without fear of persecution. I believe antisemitism and all forms of hatred must be opposed, and human rights must be protected equally. Any proposed law must be carefully examined to ensure it does not unjustifiably restrict religious freedom or peaceful expression. As a Christian, I will always stand for truth, justice, freedom of faith, and the right to worship God without fear. ????? |

2026-10-16 05:38:53 +02:00 | David | No I do not | Constitutional issues | I do not support this bill, it's over reach and does not support the views of many Christians in South Africa, it's immoral, unconstitutional,totally one-sided and devoid of any truths. |

Summary of Opposing Views
Supporters (Al Jama-ah, ANC, EFF, PAC, GOOD):
Argue the Bill is a moral necessity to close the “impunity gap” and align South African law with its international commitments (ICJ case, UN Convention).
Opponents (DA, FF+, Jewish Board of Deputies):
Likely to argue the Bill is constitutionally vague, practically unenforceable, and a waste of parliamentary resources intended solely to antagonise Israel.
