Then the news is probably not as boring as you claim because it caught your interest enough to read and comment, and reply
Then why are you reading and commenting on this post?
These european countries steal everything else from african countries, so I’m honestly not surprised that they’re stealing our food as well.
We live in the suburbs a bit away from the city centre. The stink was god awful in the city itself. But i remember when we woke up that day, opened the door and was smelling something strange. We were so confused lol, at first we thought it was just the sea air but there was an underlying stench that didn’t belong.
So getting to the city a few of us said we’re working from home and left. Bosses didn’t deny or penalise us.
We all thought it was a sewerage problem until they cleared up what was the cause.
He was a baby, a baby starved to death because of Israel’s genocide.
And the difference is especially damning in Cape Town
Let them do it, use the frozen Russian assets. I’m sure Russia knows that they won’t be seeing that money again.
Let the western financial system finally fucking collapse.
But Melkath never even mentioned jews. He specifically said Israelis throughout his post. And he pretty clearly compared the Israeli people to nazis, not what you said, which was comparing jewish people to nazis.
It feels like you’re doing exactly what the German government is doing, which is equating criticism of Israelis and of Israel to antisemitism.
This is africanews.com where the focus is on Africa. As in South Africa. As in SA.
The title of the article uses SA for South Africa, so I’m sure they have enough respect for their readers to distinguish between Saudi Arabia and South Africa when reading an article from africanews.com
Yes, and now you know why most of the world’s inhabitants hate the USA
And yet people will argue that the US is being charitable and concerned about a justified ( in my opinion) blockade of a major shipping route.
South Africa places Israel’s actions since October 7 in the context of a history of “apartheid, expulsion, ethnic cleansing, annexation, occupation, discrimination, and the ongoing denial of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination” … “during its 75-year-long apartheid, its 56-year-long belligerent occupation of Palestinian territory and its 16-year-long blockade of Gaza.” Notably, South Africa points out that Israel has been carrying out extreme violence against Palestinians even before Hamas’s actions on October 7 (which it unequivocally condemns but notes cannot justify genocide).

Well, for weeks before the Houthis said that the reason for the blockade is Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. And that once Israel ceases their attacks on Gaza they would end the blockade.
Instead of using their political leverage to get Israel to stop their bombing, and thereby ensuring the end of the Houthi blockade, the US is instead attacking the Houthis and providing even more cover to Israel to continue it’s genocide.
But yes, of course the US and allies would value the delays of shipments and providing genocide cover for Israel more than stopping an ongoing genocide against Palestinians
And yes, it’s a major worldwide shipment route. So why does the US not use their political capital to stop Israel and thereby the blockade instead of attacking the Houthis on their own territory and greatly exacerbating tensions in the region.
That is why i said that there is a disconnect in what the US says and what it does. It has a diplomatic route to take but instead starts warring. And no, saying that the Houthis should just stop the blockade without Israel stopping it’s genocide is not a valid diplomatic route.
So that begs the question if the US is truly concerned with the blockade of a major shipping route or if they’re simply providing cover for Israel to continue bombing Gaza and terrorising the West Bank.

I see that ever since then he’s been spamming posts over in this community.
I feel like nowadays news from The Onion is more accurate than what is actually reported by news networks
While this is good, i would have hoped that the secretary general would have used much more strong language at this point.
He should have absolutely condemned the mass murder perpetrated by Israel and called for a total ceasefire, not a humanitarian ceasefire.
He could have at least done that much, since not many in power are willing to call what is happening a genocide and ethnic cleansing, even though that is what’s happening.
Exactly. People don’t want to accept it but i see a lot of parallels between MK and Qassam brigades as liberation armed struggle. When peaceful protest fails then violent opposition is inevitable.
Just fyi. Apartheid didn’t end because of peaceful protest.
The ANC had been peacefully opposing the Apartheid government. But that all ended after the Sharpeville massacre commited by the Apartheid government.
Then MK was formed ( uMkhonto we Sizwe). MK was the armed guerilla resistance that Mandela and the ANC saw was needed, because the Apartheid government wasn’t giving in to peaceful opposition of their government.
You’re probably confusing what people say was a ‘peaceful’ end to Apartheid because civil war was avoided.
And it was only truly avoided because the resistance had to make so many unfair concessions to the international liberal powers that be ( imf, the US etc.) and the Apartheid government. Otherwise the Apartheid government was gearing up to actually start mass murdering the non white population (aka genocide).
There truly are a lot of parallels between Apartheid south africa and israel
Cool story bro
