@SizweDhlomo Like Lazarus in the Bible?

@CoruscaKhaya We don't only have an illegal immigrant problem. We have a country-wide epidemic of corruption and broken systems of checks and balances. Until these are fixed, we can't resolved the challenge of undocumented foreign nationals.

@tumisole @CountryDutyZA I was confused about how you aligned with some of their policies to have made the decision to join them in the first place.

@SizweDhlomo Also, what's wrong with the people who vote for him? Because Wow!

[LaurenAaliyahKolia 💙 🇿🇦 @kolia786]

@tumisole 'Boeta' thought he could just say 'Opos. for misunderstanding Chief' & move on quickly. Justice Madlanga like: 'Firstly, I'm not Chief, let that stick & stop saying it! Secondly, wait, we'll get to your apology. Let's go point-by-point proving your lies!'

A video that Netanyahu does not want the world to see

Let the world know by sharing this

Tens of thousands of anti-Zionist rabbis gathered in the Barclays Center in New York City to say that the Zionist regime is a criminal and occupying gang and does not represent the Jews.

[Redi Tlhabi @RediTlhabi]

Notice how young these psychopaths are. They learnt this hate from the adults around them, who also learnt it from the adults around them. Israel's talking points, that it's the Palestinian moms - always moms - who teach their children to hate, no longer hold. The global, racist, talking point "I wish they loved their children more than they hate ours..." that you hear from Johannesburg to the UK, is exactly that, a racist talking point. It implies Palestinian women are not capable of loving their children. It dehumanizes and "others" them.

These young monstrous terrorists wreaking havoc on Palestinians and backed by the army, are perfecting the hatred they were taught. Go argue with a wall. I said what I said and I will keep saying it.

I was born in southern Lebanon and have lived there my entire life—for more than 35 years—I was born in wars, lived through wars, and worked in their midst of these wars in relief and diplomacy.

Arresting Netanyahu is not the be-all, end-all. The problem is Israel. I have lived through 8 different Israeli Prime Ministers and different extremist government; while Netanyahu's right wing extremist government is the most horrendous, but they are all cut from the same cloth.

Promoting the blame on Netanyahu for the genocide and ecocide in Lebanon is misleading. The reality is, Netanyahu is not the disease, he is a symptom of it.

The same things were said when Shimon Peres committed massacres in Lebanon in 1996—most horrific the Qana Massacre, when Israel bombed a United Nations center sheltering around 800 displaced Lebanese civilians.

The same was said when Ehud Barak, Ehud Olmert, and Ariel Sharon committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in Lebanon. Now, the same is being said about Netanyahu.

If Netanyahu were arrested and removed today, would Israel suddenly stop being so problematic and a threat to world peace? No!

The problem is not Netanyahu alone; it is Israel as a whole. It is not the fault of one war criminal leader or a specific warmongering political party. It is the system. Israel kills children as a hobby. This violent Israeli culture and mentality is not new. The Israel we see today is a byproduct of nearly 80 years of dehumanization and normalized violence against people in the Middle East.

Israel has killed nearly 100,000 people—including 25,000 children—in 1,000 days in Middle East. That means Israel killed about 100 people every day for 1,000 days with complete impunity. They believe that Israelis must inflict violence on others in order to survive and thrive themselves.

Israel does not want peace, Israel wants Palestine, a piece of Lebanon, and a piece of Syria—until now...

Peace through strength is not peace. Peace through mutual respect is. Peace without justice is an illusion. And diplomacy can be made only with countries that respect international law.

It's extraordinary that Israel can go on a mass murder and steal land from three neighboring countries simultaneously while you will look us dead in the eye and say Israel wants peace.

We know who the enemy of peace is. it has a name, it is Israel.

@mfeka_winston @DasenThathiah You mean 'raping' students? You can't 'sleep with' children. Sounds like he's alleged to be a repeat of offending child predator!

Ok. I am Jewish. Stop the genocide and end Zionism. You are welcome.

@Abramjee She's a child. A child. A child. What has happened to our humanity? When did it become okay to justify a crime that hurts a child? Any child!

@AaliyaLaher @Abramjee This post with witness information is reckless!

[𝓙𝓲𝓶𝓶𝔂 𝓙 @JimmyJ4thewin]

I just checked who covered the historic mass funeral of 112 Palestinians in Gaza killed by Israel.

CNN? Nowhere.
MSNBC? Silent.
Fox News? Crickets.
BBC? Radio silence.

112 bodies. One mass funeral. Zero Western media coverage.

Journalism didn’t die. It just decided some mass funerals aren’t newsworthy.

@TheRealClementM We don't accept whatever this is. They are tainted as biased media, caught with their pants down! Too little, too late.

@Mkhize_vela I refreshed my YouTube feed so many times looking for updates. Then I remembered 😢😭

[Redi Tlhabi @RediTlhabi]

People are allowed to care deeply about one human rights crisis without first issuing a press release on every other atrocity on Earth.

You can speak about the international human rights flashpoints that matter most to you. That doesn't mean you are indifferent to the rest. It means you're human.

When I raised my voice against gender-based violence, it didn't mean I didn't care about food insecurity. When I spoke out against corruption, it didn't mean I was indifferent to drug abuse. We all choose where we can make a meaningful contribution. No one has the capacity to be everywhere, every day, speaking about everything.

Yet somehow, Israel's most ardent defenders insist that unless you have an equal-opportunity outrage portfolio, your criticism of Israel's actions is invalid. It is an intellectually dishonest standard that they apply almost nowhere else. For many of us, Gaza is the defining moral test of our time.

Rwanda was that test in 1994. Humanity failed. Srebrenica was that test in 1995. Apartheid was that test for decades. Darfur was that test in 2003, and Sudan still demands our attention today. The persecution of the Rohingya has been another such test.
People did speak. People still do speak. The record exists for anyone prepared to look.

The accusation that "you only care about Gaza" is not a serious argument. It is whataboutism. It is a tactic designed to move the conversation away from Israel's conduct and onto the supposed inadequacies of its critics.

NO! NO!
We are entitled to judge Israel by its actions. We are entitled to listen when members of its own leadership make public statements about their genocidal intentions. We are entitled to condemn conduct we believe violates international law and basic human decency. We do not need permission to do so. Atleast I DON'T!

And let's stop pretending this is just another conflict. Few states command the level of international lobbying, diplomatic protection, information warfare, political pressure, and organised campaigns against critics that surround Israel. That extraordinary global footprint is one reason the scrutiny is extraordinary too.

So spare us the outrage about where our attention is directed. Our attention is right where it ought to be! And it will remain there for as long as Israel and its allies and supporters continue to unleash their GLOBAL bullying on us.

Some sisterly advice from me to tou:

If Sudan matters to you, speak!
If Myanmar matters to you, speak!
If Congo matters to you, speak!
If Ukraine matters to you, speak!

But do not demand that the rest of us earn the right to speak about Gaza by first solving every injustice on the planet. That's a rubbish argument.

And it won't work.

SARS takes up to 45% of what we earn, then we pay 15% VAT on almost everything we buy. Inflation eats whatever we manage to save, municipal rates & levies come for the property we already own, and fuel levies are waiting every time we fill up. At this point South Africans aren’t citizens, we’re shareholders with no dividends
