Fethi, are any of these groups having an influence on South African politics?
18:01
I think a central aspect of the behavior of these groups is that they don't want to be traced back to Israel.
18:07
And Israeli ministries don't like to appear like they're interfering in politics, but they are.
18:13
Through our research, we found it almost impossible to separate Christian Zionist organizing and Christian Zionist networks from official pro-Israel lobbying and pro-Israel groups.
18:23
It's not that the networks are so intermingled, it's that networks are in some cases one and the same.
18:29
The overlap is just massive.
18:31
For example, we have a political party in South Africa called the African Christian Democratic Party.
