Thank you Marlise Richter for the collaborative brain storming and cathartic writing on this crazy and completely devastating situation.

[Dr Becky Walker @bexjw79]

Writing doesn't stop the madness but it at least helps us with the processing of it all. https://t.co/2FweawYs5M

Incredible moment when Israel's occupation, Israel's apartheid, and Israel's destruction of Gaza are called out at the Oscars!

Thank you @basel_adra & @yuval_abraham for your powerful voices.

⚡️JUST IN: Freed Palestinian prisoner, Adel Tayseer Sobeih:

“I can't believe that I am in Gaza. My leg was amputated by Israel. I can't believe that there are still people in Gaza. They told us that Gaza was over. Long live Palestine! Long live Palestine! The prisoners were tortured by all kinds of torture.”

Tayseer was subjected to torture and medical negligence that led to the forcible amputation of his leg.

@DogeRespecter77 @RyanMullarkey1 @georgegalloway And an apartheid state is law abiding because???

[Dr Becky Walker @bexjw79]

@RyanMullarkey1 @DogeRespecter77 @georgegalloway Nice. Real South Africa will be better for it.

[Dr Becky Walker @bexjw79]

@DogeRespecter77 @RyanMullarkey1 @georgegalloway So there wasn’t cheap labour, exploitation and forcible displacement which enabled a minority to prosper at the expense of others?! This didn’t come out of a place of equity and equal rights did it 😂😂

The way she articulates facts is stunning, I’m in awe !" ♥️

[Dr Becky Walker @bexjw79]

@DogeRespecter77 @RyanMullarkey1 @georgegalloway Such a crisp on point description of the benefactors of apartheid right there! I’m all for Orania if we can make sure all those who truly believe they are privileged purely through their own making can please just stay there!!

[Dr Becky Walker @bexjw79]

@DogeRespecter77 @RyanMullarkey1 @georgegalloway “Dispossessed of control over affairs” “exposed to dystopian levels of violent criminality”? Remind you of anything?!! 😂

[Dr Becky Walker @bexjw79]

@DogeRespecter77 @RyanMullarkey1 @georgegalloway It is the denial of privilege and failure to acknowledge the additional safety nets that white people can access here due to historical and contemporary inequality (that has not been addressed in any meaningful way) that is the problem.

[Dr Becky Walker @bexjw79]

@DogeRespecter77 @RyanMullarkey1 @georgegalloway You miss my point but perhaps deliberately. And what exactly is yours? That white people don’t have privilege in South Africa and face far more violence than any other group? If so please substantiate this point

[Dr Becky Walker @bexjw79]

@RyanMullarkey1 @georgegalloway They also have far more chance of a good education and access to jobs. White privilege remains very real in SA and it’s this we should be talking about not pretending their is some kind of disproportionate threat to white people

[Dr Becky Walker @bexjw79]

@RyanMullarkey1 @georgegalloway They carry on nicely thanks. My kids are white South Africans and live very privileged lives in comparison to the majority. As white children they are far less likely to face violence and poverty than a black child in this country.

@vfsglobalcare I received an sms regarding collection of my pop in Cape Town but the link sent for instructions doesn’t work. What do I do?

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Today I asked the Prime Minister if he will finally do what’s legally and morally right and end the government’s complicity in Israeli war crimes by banning ALL arms sales —including F-35 fighter jets — to Israel.

He said “no”.

[Dr Becky Walker @bexjw79]

This is what a real moral leader sounds like
