@wilkinsoncape "media" would be a euphemism in this instance?

@PeterBeinart You are literally replaying an inner monologue from your own experience, demonstrating you not actually listening to Palestinians. I made the same mistake, believing my version of reality could be transposed onto the problem. I received a rude awakening. https://t.co/Wc8sgAeL5A

@PeterBeinart Nobody, I mean nobody on the Palestinian side is fighting to sing Ha Tikvah or vote in the Knesset. They don't want to become Israeli citizens, they want to eliminate replace Israel with an Arab chauvinist state. Some want Sharia Law, other's want secularism for other Muslims.

Every time I suggest equality under the law as the right principle for Israel-Palestine, many of my fellow Jews tell me it's dangerously unrealistic, that I don't understand the region etc. It's exactly what I heard from white South Africans as a kid. But I rarely heard a Black South African during apartheid say that legal equality was unrealistic, or would produce more violence, just as I rarely hear that from Palestinians today.

🇿🇦 An ISIS-linked gang has been convicted in South Africa after torturing and murdering British botanists Rod and Rachel Saunders before throwing their bodies into a river where crocodiles fed on their remains.

The gang then stole the couple’s money, spending around £37,000, and were later found with ISIS material and a flag at their home.

All three were convicted of murder, kidnapping, robbery and theft.

@JKyalo37828 You seem to forget about the League of Nations which issued the Mandate in 1919, and expressly included terms for the creation of the Jewish state. https://t.co/42O0471jfc

I have zero access to the ConCourt, expecting me procure a corresponding attorney to act on my behalf from Cape Town is both unrealistic, untenable, & an affront. Unless Rep of SA can come up with a viable plan, you left with this.

@KevinCastley Because under Deng, it embraced an experiment in capitalism, euphemistically termed, 'socialism with Chinese charactristics.'

In Japan, the gorilla Kiyomasa was captured on video lost in deep thought after an argument with his friend.

@PalomboArtist @quatremer Here is Hitler receiving his orders from the first Palestinian President, Amin Husseini. Final Solution was a pathetic, tragic attempt to solve a particular problem.

This is what happens when you place the interests of unions and workers above the national interest, a soviet-style mega-project disaster, paid for by the taxpayer.

🚨 The R400 Billion Disaster

In 2007, South Africa was told that two new power stations would solve the electricity crisis once and for all.

Butttttt, fifteen to eighteen years and somewhere between R300 billion and R450 billion later, Medupi and Kusile became two of the most expensive coal power stations ever built.

Instead of ending load-shedding, they helped prolong it.

This is the story of how two flagship projects turned into one of the largest infrastructure failures in democratic South Africa.

I’m releasing Part 1 of the series, Darkness by Design - with both the full video documentary (YouTube and X) and the detailed written article dropping at the same time.

The trailer is live now.
The full episode and article drop this evening...

And it is certainly anagram for Af-fuckta or Af-kakta?

[David Robert Lewis @ethnopunkorigin]

AfCFTA sounds too much like Afkakta, (which reminds one of an Afrikaans word for kak off) it needs a rebrand, to a simple 'Afro-Zone'. Spare us the redtape, bureacracy, focus on our own backyard. As they say, charity begins at home.

@pmcafrica Belief it or not. I once carved a boat from Denneboom bark, let it go down a stream in The Glen. Came back a week later, cub pack went down to Bakoven Beach, I found my boat washed up on the sea shore.
