Israel has killed at least 242 journalists since starting its genocidal assault on Gaza in 2023. Now we learn 3 SA papers — @SundayTimesZA, @TheCitizen_News & @BizNewsCOM — hid that their Israel tour was paid for to push propaganda. Details 👉 elitshanews.org.za/2025/08/1…

The son of Dischem founder is a pathetic and rabid Zionist like his parents.
Redi Tlhabi criticised Netanyahu and Israel and this was his response.
He deactivated his account afterwards.
It may be time to boycott @Dischem
Stephen Langtry retweeted
This is what Dischem is and represents. Never forget that. I haven’t stepped foot in a Dischem in 4 years. And I don’t regret it for a second.
Stephen Langtry retweeted
We should seriously consider a full on boycott of Dischem. Lead us @COSATUSSONLINE and other progressive organisations.

South African Jewish Board of Deputies in the past 24 hours: The UK is antisemitic!
Gift of the Givers in the past 24 hours: It's flooding in the parts of the Cape. Here's what we're doing to help.

Hey SA Zionists, list below the charity and rescue work you are busy with in the Western Cape right now. Your pet hate #GiftoftheGivers is on the ground, saving lives.

Tony Leon and Helen Zille should read this, and also read what Jewish women have to say about Zionism in Media Review Network and IOL.
Complicity and collective guilt — JM Coetzee shuns Jerusalem literary festival dailymaverick.co.za/article/…
Stephen Langtry retweeted
South African writer, and Nobel laureate, J.M. Coetzee refused an invitation to attend a writer's festival in Jerusalem. The reason he gave was israel's genocide of the Palestinian people and the complicity of israeli citizens.
I cannot be any prouder. 👇
Bravo J.M. Coetzee! BRAVO. The most searing parts of Coetzee's rejection letter "..the state of Israel has been conducting a campaign of genocide in Gaza, that is disproportionate to the murderous provocations of October 7 - a genocide that has received enthusiastic support from most of the Israeli public.....it is impossible for any part of Israeli society....to claim it does not share in the guilt for the atrocities in Gaza...." AND "The process of cleansing Israel's name and establishing it in the international community would take many years if it is interested in that at all." BRAVO. They (Israel 🙄 Duh!) can't shut the whole world up. Speak up. Don't fold. The nonchalance, the cold-heartedness of even hosting international literary festivals, whilst bombing civilians and non-combatants, babies, it is dark and grotesque.

The new US ambassador to South Africa, who told a South African audience "I don't care what your courts say", now says he was merely expressing a "personal view." Reminder: the SA ambassador to the US was expelled by the Trump administration for expressing a personal opinion.

That black woman married to a Jew, used to have such friendly interactions with Redi before the most streamed Israel genocide started. Now marriage compels her to support a genocide&she happily retweets & likes tweets bashing Redi.Sad thing is that they would probably spit on her

What the rogue state doesn't say is that Shaun Byneveldt is our ambassador to Palestine.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar decided - following South Africa’s false attacks against Israel in the international arena and the unilateral, baseless step taken against the Chargé d’Affaires of Israel in South Africa - that South Africa’s senior diplomatic representative, Minister Shaun Edward Byneveldt, is persona non grata and must leave Israel within 72 hours.
Additional steps will be considered in due course.

Is it a good idea to hold a major event like the FIFA World Cup in a country where the Rule of Law no longer exists

"ukraine approves of the invasion of a sovereign country" you couldn't make it up
Ukraine has consistently defended the right of nations to live freely, free of dictatorship, oppression, and human rights violations. The Maduro regime has violated all such principles in every respect.
Democratic countries and human rights organizations across the globe have emphasized his regime’s widespread crimes, violence, torture, oppression, abuse of all basic freedoms, stolen votes, and destruction of democracy and the rule of law.
Ukraine has not recognised Maduro’s legitimacy following rigged elections and violence against protestors, along with dozens of other countries in different parts of the world.
The people of Venezuela must have a chance for a normal life, security, prosperity, and human dignity. We will continue to support their right to such normality, respect, and freedom.
We stand for further developments in accordance with the principles of international law, prioritising democracy, human rights, and the interests of Venezuelans.
Thank you to everyone around the world who helps to protect life.
