Israel under the "government of change" with Lapid, Labor and Meretz:
* Outlawing 6 leading Palestinian NGOs
* Starting ethnic cleansing in Masafer Yatta
* Killing dozens of Palestinians in the last year
* A peak in house demolitions and admin. detention
* And now a war on Gaza

Israel posting video proof it’s forces carrying out air strikes on densely populated civilian locations because they know they won’t be held accountable by that so-called liberal world order

Just when I thought I fully understood the depths of the oppression of Palestinians…

a string of heart breaking 💔messages from a colleague in #Gaza illustrates how suppression & intimidation of educators is just another tactic used to silence & erase a people. #FreePalestine

Sowetan Newspaper:

In a world defined by injustice, our values must be seen in the decisions we make that ultimately impact on the world around us

Doing so is not aligning to politics.

It is demonstrating our commitment to social justice...

[#Africa4Palestine @Africa4Pal]

For the Miss South Africa company to want women to represent this country on a global stage, this can't happen at the expense of what it means to be South African.

A core element in this regard is having a deep awareness of human rights.
