Member-states of economic alliance BRICS—an acronym for the original members: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa—collectively appear to hold a more pro-Palestine stance than the United States and its allies. From voting in favour of Palestinian human rights at the United Nations to make public condemnations to dragging Israel to the International Court of Justice on a genocide charge, these Global South countries have done more for Palestinians in the last three months of escalated violence than the West has done in almost 76 years of Israeli occupation.
Here's a brief look at each BRICS member-state's position.

BLACK PANTHER SICKLE-CELL PROGRAMME
The more we learn about the new gene therapy treatment the US Food and Drug Administration recently approved for sickle cell disease, the more we realise just how far out of reach it will be for the average African suffering from the disease. It comes at a cost of $2.2 million per person. But let’s never forget that long before the US government invested in treatment, the Black Panther Party took on the fight in our communities.
In 1971, the Panthers launched a pioneering programme providing information and free sickle-cell screening and treatment in health clinics in many US cities.
The party boldly challenged the inadequacies of the profit-driven and racist US healthcare system. By advocating for increased research funding, improved medical services, and better treatment options for sickle-cell patients, the Panthers demonstrated their dedication to holistic well-being. They rightfully politicised healthcare.

Colombia’s president says South Africa’s legal team should get a Nobel Peace Prize for prosecuting Israel at The Hague.
Gustavo Petro is a staunch defender of the Palestinians - and one of Latin America’s loudest critic of Israel’s war, branding Tel Aviv’s actions as comparable to those of Nazi Germany.
Other Latin American countries have also shown solidarity with the Palestinians - for example, Bolivia severed diplomatic ties and Chile recalled its ambassador. Meanwhile, Cuba doesn't recognise Israel as a state and Venezuela broke all diplomatic ties with Israel, in 2009.
Do you think Pretoria’s ‘heroes’ - as they’ve been widely hailed - deserve the Nobel Peace Prize?
