Last week, we passed the 100th-day mark of Israel’s latest episode of aggression against the people of Gaza. It was a depressing milestone to consider. A hundred days of Palestinians being mercilessly exterminated in all kinds of brutal ways: Israeli bombs ripping them apart, Israeli bullets piercing their skulls, and the Israeli-imposed siege starving them or killing them through otherwise treatable infections.
A hundred days in which the countries that said “never again” almost 80 years ago did nothing to stop our extermination. A hundred days in which we pleaded, humanitarian organisations pleaded, the United Nations pleaded and people in the streets across the world pleaded, but we were all ignored.

“Israel and South Africa have one thing above all else in common: they are both situated in a predominantly hostile world inhabited by dark peoples.”
-John Vorster, President of Apartheid South Africa and former Commander of the Hitler-aligned Ossewabrandwag, 1976
Thank you, that’s a nice example that a nation can learn from its history and do better going forward. South Africa is on the moral right side in 2024, while most powerful countries pretend there isn’t a genocide going on by the apartheid state of Israel. My home country of Canada, which has its own history of genocide (Indigenous peoples), has something to learn from South Africa, the Non-Aligned Movement, and other nations who are bravely standing up against the perpetrators of war crimes and their accomplices
