Many countries were also "biased" against Apartheid South Africa, the bias was disapproval of apartheid, much like the one enacted on the West Bank and Gaza.

The bias predates the Israeli occupation of Gaza and the West Bank.

The litmus test is if they were just opposed to the policies of the South African government, or did those countries also hate South Africa and South Africans?

Did they have a history of persecution of South Africans in their own country?

Were they funding armed groups to attack South Africa?

Did they believe that South Africa has no right to exist anyway?
