I forgot about those conversations! Tjo, we have been through a lot!

[Redi Tlhabi @RediTlhabi]

Only thousands?

In front of children? And what is this obsession with sex and rape.....🤢

[Redi Tlhabi @RediTlhabi]

You allowed this to happen for too long. From taxi drivers deciding that e-hailing drivers, friends and relatives could not transport people, to this. Videos of non-state actors "enforcing" their jungle law on South African streets have been circulating for so long. These actors were proud of their "law enforcement" and actually recorded it. You and your government were spectators. It is a sign that you were absent or too scared to face the backlash should you act against South Africans breaking the law. It doesn't matter how valid grievances are, NO STATE should quietly watch a parallel state emerge, with non-state actors deciding who belongs snd who doesn't, who must live or die. Your government, led by you, did that.

There has never been a war in history where 80% of the country has been destroyed, 100% of the population displaced, and 50% of the deaths children.

Call it what it is: GENOCIDE.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Thank you President 🇸🇮.
Palestine is the moral compass of our time.
From Spain to Slovenia there is hope for Europe. A Europe that puts people above banks and markets, rights above profits, and respects int'l law regardless of political calculus.

The baby was approaching the soldiers "in a threatening manner?" Or the parents, after connecting with their infant for 7 months, decided to turn her into a "human shield?" Rubbish explanations that only indoctrinated people will believe. They have to believe the outrageous lies because not doing so means they must reckon with the cruelty and moral rot of their beloved army and the ideology that fuels its actions.

"Perceived a vehicle to be accelerating toward them." Always the same nonsense. And the BBC does to critique it but affords the IDF's outrageous claims, so much legitimacy.

What about the threat posed by the openly genocidal Israeli army that continues to murder our babies, journalists and medics while occupying our land and demolishing our villages?????

Your one-sided statement is a joke…

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

"My personal pride and joy." That's how Peter Mandelson described the Palantir deal he brokered.

The whole thing stinks. Kick Palantir out of our NHS, now.

This is outrageous. Why is FIFA silent on the exclusion of a team that has qualified? So FIFA, by its silence, is saying a host country can use its foreign policy and geopolitical decisions, its bilateral relations with another country, to frustrate and prevent a qualifying country from participating.

So, collapse your emotions, good or bad about the 2 presidents. This is a masterclass in strategic communications by Cyril Ramaphosa. He doesn't mention Ruto or his decision to bend to the USA on Ebola. He doesn't criticize the decision but instead, expertly demonstrates a better strategy deployed by RSA. He doesn't need to say "We are concerned that Kenya blah blah blah." But with Ruto standing right there he gives case studies of South Africa's pan African response to Ebola - financial investment, sharing expertise and must importantly, protecting those on African soil from the pandemic. The opposite of what Kenya is doing. And he highlighted this contrast emphatically by focusing on what RSA is doing. Nice example for a strategic comms lecturer to use. How do you expose a disagreement without saying "You are wrong and I disapprove of your methods." Nice.

Paris Saint-Germain supporters’ unforgettable “Free Palestine” tifo.

South African 🇿🇦 -Canadian author Kagiso Lesego Molope was heckled and ejected from the Writers’ Trust of Canada “Politics and the Pen” gala - packed with Canada’s most powerful elites -after highlighting that 31% of children under two in Gaza suffer acute malnutrition.
Her powerful response: “I don’t want to break bread with people who are happy to know that children are dying.”

Lebanon is the second most-documented genocide in history after Palestine, yet the most denied.
