President Mbeki on the anti-immigrant protests in SA:

"There's money behind it. There's purpose behind it. It's organized. It's not spontaneous. It doesn't come from the mindset of the people...you can see a lot of the noise around the continent, a lot of it basing on wrong information, but gradually you are seeing this marginalization of South Africa from the rest of the continent, which counter-revolution wants."

@MaDhlomo_ Don’t be obtuse 🙄 violent xenophobes enacting mob justice don’t stop to politely check who is legal or not.

[Tayoncé Defense Attorney @lesbeyonsay]

the fact that she's given so much and has not run out of money really puts into perspective how the arguments against a wealth tax on billionaires are just bs

[Devaksha Vallabhjee @DevakshaV]

Been thinking about tomorrow’s xenophobic march and remembered this beautiful, heartbreaking ad by @OddNumber_ for @Brand_SA in 2019.

Wish we had something similar now that would give people some perspective and humanity.

Joy Reid: “Israel does not represent all Jewish people anymore than Saudi Arabia represents all Muslims.

Let’s stop pretending this foreign country equals Jewish people.

Zionism stems from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Judaism is 4,000 years old."

Well said Joy.

More people need the courage to say this publicly.

We hope you’ll continue speaking out.

Voices like yours help make that distinction clear.

Reporter: Some members of the Jewish community, including Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer, were alarmed by the language you used at the rally last week, calling AIPAC monsters who move dark money.

Mamdani: I want to be very clear. We’re talking about a status quo where children are being killed on a daily basis. More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military since the so-called ceasefire.

Even an Al Jazeera journalist, Ahmed Wishah, was killed this past Saturday by an Israeli strike. And when I am speaking about AIPAC, I’m speaking about an organization that has been supportive of the status quo, that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people not just in Palestine but, frankly, throughout much of the region.

And it is a status quo of immorality. It is one that I will not accept. And when it comes to the way in which they defend the status quo, oftentimes they defend it through direct contributions, as we are seeing right now in New York 13.

Oftentimes they also support the status quo through dark money, by funneling money that would have previously come directly from AIPAC through other organizations whose contributors’ identities are only made clear after an election.

And I think it is important that when we ask ourselves how such death and destruction is happening overseas, we also name those who allow it to take place.

⭕️ Israel’s far right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir responds to Vice President JD Vance: “For every tear shed by an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers should cry. All of Lebanon should burn.”

He writes:

“With all due respect to the Americans, Israel must make it clear to the entire world that the blood of our sons and the security of our citizens are not up for grabs. All of Lebanon should burn. Our highest duty is to protect Israel’s citizens and IDF soldiers, and that commitment comes before any other consideration.

I tell the Prime Minister, including in our meetings: for every tear shed by an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers should cry.

Enough with the ping-pong. In the Middle East, you do not win through measured responses and restraint. You have to go crazy. Erase. Defeat terrorism.”

“I don’t do politics.” ~ A grown-ass South African who doesn’t vote.

Well, guess what? When the taps run dry and potholes graduate to canyons, when rates & taxes outpace your not only your salary, but are double the national average inflation rate, that’s politics doing you.

🟦 Fake Gaza Charity Built to Steal Donors’ Money and Data Traced to Israeli Cyber Firm

A supposed charity that claimed to raise money for displaced Palestinian families was actually a fake operation designed to harvest donors’ money and personal data, according to an investigation by Haaretz and the French daily Libération.

Operating under the name “Sadaqah Palestine,” it ran a donation website, social media accounts, and paid Meta ads urging users that “every dollar saves lives.” But investigators found no record of the organization in U.K., U.S., EU, or Israeli charity registries, while much of its online following appeared to consist of fake accounts. Researchers described it as a “honeypot” built to lure people trying to support Gaza.

The investigation traced the operation’s digital infrastructure to BlackCore, an Israeli “influence and cyber” firm already suspected of orchestrating a disinformation campaign targeting left-wing candidates in France’s 2026 municipal elections. The company is under investigation by French prosecutors and is also suspected of political interference operations linked to elections in New York City and Scotland.
