IRANIAN PRESIDENT: “If we did not have our defensive missiles, Israel and America would have plowed through Iran the way Gaza was plowed through, showing no mercy to the old or the young. They speak of human rights. It is a great lie.”
It’s a hard truth to hear, but it’s true.
German Woman:
"You keep claiming that Iran will build an atomic bomb within two weeks, so why do you never mention Israel’s possession of 200 nuclear warheads?"
@jacksonhinkle The greatest threat to global security is the possession of nuclear weapons by the US and Israel, which constitute the world's largest terrorism network.
Last year, the US government said some African governments refused to participate in its forced deportation programme for illegal migrants. Ghana volunteered to collect them and help dump them.
In 2022, the British government decided it no longer wished to host asylum seekers on its own territory and needed somewhere to offload them. Rwanda raised its hand.
In 2016, the United States decided it could not keep certain Guantanamo Bay prisoners in its own facilities. Ghana openly agreed to receive them on African soil.
And now the United States has decided it cannot repatriate its own Ebola patients to its own vastly superior medical infrastructure. Kenya has offered to build them a treatment centre.
Every time a Western government identifies something it considers too dangerous, too embarrassing, too legally complicated or too politically inconvenient to keep on its own territory, there is always an African government somewhere ready to collect it.
Deportees, asylum seekers, terror suspects, infectious disease patients. The willingness of certain African leaders to position their countries as the world’s surrogate waste management service, in exchange for whatever diplomatic or financial token has no visible floor.
There will always be morally bankrupt opportunists in government who will not look at the safety of their people, the dignity of their flag or the solidarity owed to the oppressed, and will instead compete to be the most useful to the powerful.
24 tons of apples from South Africa 🇿🇦and 6.9 tons of Kenyan 🇰🇪 fresh avocados were among the first arrivals of African agricultural products under the #ZeroTariffPolicy. Welcome!
Men did not change overnight.
The rules changed.
Now they are expected to provide, protect, communicate, heal, lead, follow, stay strong, stay soft, and never crack.
Then people wonder why so many checked out.
International Law is DEAD
It died when the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and NOT ONE country he visited enforced it.
The UN passed countless ceasefire resolutions for Gaza. Ignored. The ICJ ruled Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza is ILLEGAL under international law. Also ignored.
When you start enforcing International Law for EVERYONE, then you can quote it.
