Great piece, well-researched and thorough. It's no accident that those are some of the largest and most important countries in Africa by land area, population, and their economies. Israel is diversifying its network of strategic partners to hedge their bets. It's a smart move. But what great power will provide the counterbalance to Israeli influence in Africa? It remains to be seen.
It's interestig to me that Israel backs loans to Kenya et al instead of making grants to those countries, since Israel is one of the wealthiest countries in the world.
Lawmakers signed that Africa-israel resolution. But that doesn't mean they were all supported by their governments or part of them. I suspect that for South Africa, some moron(s) from Vrijheidplus signed it or something. I wouldn't give too much credit to this.

I wonder if these "bishops" of African churches are like the self-appointed "bishops" among American AME Zion churches. Catholic Bishops have some actual standing in their parishes, the Protestant "bishops", not so much.

I wonder if Jonathan includes Israeli acts of terrorism as acts against our common humanity. Probably not, I suppose.
The USA has blessed Israel for decades now,and all we get is more wars and debt.
Blessing Israel sounds like a bad deal.
Bombing Israel sounds safer for the entire world.
