Shameful, Mandela will be turning in his grave
Absolutely grotesque double and triple standards.

If our struggle were truly about freedom for Palestinians, dignity, rights, and self-determination, you would expect us to stand in loud solidarity with other peoples in the Middle East fighting for the same things. Kurds fighting erasure. Yazidis surviving genocide. Iranians

If Jews were protesting outside mosques that supported Hamas then Mamdani would have no problem calling for large “buffer zones” around houses of worship. It’s that it’s protests outside synagogues, so suddenly it’s a free speech issue like it always is with antisemites lol

I swear if one more cul-de-sac philosopher and suburban absolutist argues that Starlink sucks because his fibre package is XYZ... You can literally drive 2 hours NE of Cape Town and find yourself in an area with no connectivity for miles. South Africa keeps clinging to the G20

Venezuela used to be much wealthier than Poland, which was suffering under socialism. Then Poland implemented free-market and capitalist principles and enjoyed an economic boom. Venezuela chose socialism, which brought poverty and misery to its people. That’s the difference.

Israel and Africa have a 3,000-year relationship, forged when the Queen of Sheba (Makeda of Ethiopia) visited King Solomon in Jerusalem. The statue of Kwame Nkrumah at the African Union quotes the Ghanaian President he refers to Psalm 68.31 “…Ethiopia shall soon stretch out

The Arab slave trade lasted 1300 years, took 10-18 million Africans, castrated huge numbers of the males, and killed up to half on the march. It was run by Muslim Arabs and their African partners who sold their own people for gold and guns The transatlantic trade was smaller in

“The Jews are occupying our land.” Arabs first showed up 1,387 years ago when ʿUmar conquered Jerusalem from the Byzantines, who took it from the Romans, who took it from the Jewish Hasmonean state. Sorry to break it to you "Dr", but you can’t claim what was never yours to
I asked mum: how would you describe the Palestinian struggle? Mum: the jews are occupying our land. Me: What's the goal? Mum: to get our land back. Me: is it a communist or nationalist fight? Mum: not communist, nationalist yeah but for us it's more Islamic. It's this simple.

Islamic scholar says that music is a major sin, and anyone who listens to music is cursed and will be punished by Allah because it’s haram. Is there anything they don’t consider ‘haram’?!

Islam is losing its traditional narratives. Only a decade ago, "the Quran has no mistakes" was an extremely popular narrative. Today, it has become less and less common, because whenever such a claim is made, there is a barrage of clear mistakes in the Quran which Muslims

It didn't start in 1948
Nothing to see here…just members of the Syrian army, under U.S. backed Jolani’s command, chanting "Khaybar, Khaybar, Ya Yehud!" (‘Oh Jews the army of Mohammed will return’, referring to the massacre of the Jews of Khaybar by Islamists).

When Muslims gain full state power, the repeated historical pattern is undeniable: • Armenia (1894–1923) → ~1.5 million Christians eliminated • Assyrian Genocide (1914–1923) → ~300,000 Christians massacred • Greek Genocide (1913–1922) → ~1 million Christians killed or

She’s hit upon a harsh truth. Only a Westernised/diaspora edge of Arabs and Palestinians tends to talk in terms like "white supremacy." In the Arab world, Zionism is more commonly condemned as occupation of land regarded as inherently Arab and/or Islamic.

South Africa was so concerned about Palestinians that it dragged Israel to court on “genocide” charges, but has now cancelled visa exemptions for Palestinians. So let’s get this straight: South Africa insists Israel is committing genocide, yet refuses to take in Palestinians

In operation shamrock, Ireland accepted 500 refugee children during WWII on condition that they were not Jews.
Ireland being neutral in WWII doesn’t make it complicit in Nazi Germany’s crimes, much less entitle us to infer Ireland wanted the Final Solution completed. You don’t attack other neutral nations in these terms; you do it to Ireland because of its position on the Israel-Palestine
