Everything we've been seeing in Gaza and the West Bank has been the result of an agenda to remove all Palestinians from Palestine via death or displacement. Everything. It was never about fighting terrorism. It's not about rescuing the Palestinians from a ruined enclave. It's never been about self-defense. It's never been about hostages. It has always been about ending the existence of Palestinians in Palestine so that their territories can be fully owned by Jewish Israelis.
This has been true of all of Israel's abusive actions since October 2023, and it was true of all of Israel's abusive actions before October 2023. This is what the Palestinians are resisting, and it's why October 7 happened in the first place. We're watching an indigenous population struggle against an agenda — an agenda which is backed by an entire globe-spanning empire — to end their existence as a people in their native homeland.
Boycott Israel. Sanction Israel. Divest from Israel. Refuse to perform in Israel. Arrest Israeli soldiers and war criminals. Genocide is not in the past. Genocide is not forgotten. Genocide is an active event. The land remains occupied, bulldozed, and collectively punished.
I miss my home. I miss my beautiful home. I miss my family. I miss my friends. Gaza is full of love, laughter and dreams despite 17 years of blockade and constant Israeli aggressions. Gaza was full of life before and despite everything we were living through under occupation, we never stopped dreaming, we never stopped smiling, and most importantly we never stopped living. No place in the world is like my home, nothing is like Gaza. We are people just like you, who have dreams, who love life and who deserve to live in freedom and dignity.
-All of these videos were taken before the genocide started… some of the people in the video have been killed.. some of the laughs I’ll never be able to hear again, some of the gatherings I’ll never be able to have again. Most of the places in the video have been completely destroyed… my beautiful precious world is completely destroyed..
🇿🇦🇮🇱🇺🇳 BREAKING South Africa calls on ICC to issue arrest warrant for Netanyahu
The South African government has called on the International Crime Court (ICC) to issue an arrest warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by mid-December.
Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said if the ICC did not do this, it would signal a "total failure" of global governance.
"The world cannot simply stand by and watch," she said.
South Africa, along with Bangladesh, Bolivia, Comoros and Djibouti, submitted a referral to the ICC to investigate whether war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed in Gaza.
The country has announced the withdrawal of its diplomats from Israel, and suggested that the position of Israel's ambassador to Pretoria was becoming "untenable".
