Weaponising laws
To equate the only existing democracy in the Middle East with the Apartheid system is to disregard the reality of what the Apartheid system was and disregard what the state of Israel is. If some politicians have personal feelings about Israel, these cannot be codified in law. To call Israel an Apartheid state comes close to hate speech.

It is a waste of money. There is enough laws already. War does not solve matters. Adding extra bills to escalate a matter does not help.

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.
