The IDF shoot people with white flags and yesterday dressed up as Drs and women to kill a sleeping patient in a hospital, but sure, unproven allegations about a dozen staff inside a UN agency with 13000 is the true problem here!
The recent ruling by the UN International court of justice against Israel on charges of Genocide are the true issue here, not allegations about a dozen staff members inside the UNRWA!
To pretend the two are on par is a pure manipulation.
One issue is a criminal investigation into individuals who helped Hamas on October the 7th, the other issue is a State accused of war crimes FFS!
They. Are. NOT. Comparable!
Israel is being held accountable for their ethnic cleansing war crime and the only country with the mana to do this was South Africa.
Nelson Mandela made the issue of Palestine under Israeli occupation a core tenant of faith in battling oppression.
Nelson understood the similarity in Oppression between the Apartheid Regime in South Africa and the race based Zionist extremism of the Israeli State.
He bonded himself to their struggle because he understood what race based Oppression leads to.
He understood what occupation did to those who were occupied.
His leadership and courage to call Israel out gave South Africa the honour to stand for his legacy.
Yes, South Africa has intense internal corruption issues. Yes, South Africa has terrible crime issues and yes, South Africa is still struggling with the ramifications of inequality generated by Apartheid, but they had the courage to stand against Israel’s ethnic cleansing war crime when the West were pathetically offering nothing more than semantics for Israel’s disproportionate violence.
Thank you South Africa for showing moral leadership when the West refused to.

South African foreign minister: World must stop funding the IDF
South Africa has for decades been an advocate for the Palestinian cause, comparing the plight of Palestinians to that of Black South Africans under apartheid.https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-784520
South Africa with one of the worst records in the world for violent crime should be looking at themselves.
Well then, what better entity, than a country that knows violence, both historic and now, to lead the cause, to stop violence in its tracks – now. Well done Bob.
You think a high local crime rate is a valid comparison to 25,000 bomb murders in 100 days!
Why do we always blame each other? These are the arguments of ancient political understanding.
Indeed. And as Nelson Mandela’s grandson Mandla Mandela has pointed out, the genocidal zionist regime is far worse than the apartheid system that he himself grew up under.
While there certainly were some very evil men in the South African regime, ‘israel’ is a ‘nation’ of 7 million Eugene de Kocks, who take perverse pleasure in slaughtering anyone who refuses to live as their slaves. One can simply look at the recent polls where 72% of ‘israelis’ supported their continued blocking of medicine and food to Gaza. That figure is artificially depressed by including the third class 1948 Palestinians (so-called ‘israeli Arabs’), who obviously oppose the zionist murder of their compatriots in the Gaza concentration camp.
This ‘nation’ is one where Baruch Goldstein- the original mosque mass-murderer, the guy who inspired Brenton Tarrant’s crime- is widely supported and the minister responsible for enforcing apartheid against the Palestinians of the west has an icon of him in his home. Whatever one can say about David Seymour, I don’t think even he would go so far as to venerate someone who murdered 29 peaceful worshippers and wounded hundreds more.
Goldstein widely supported? Was there cheering in the streets and sweets handed out to children after his attack?
Poverty hits different as nations get wealthier. In South Africa they are afflicted illnesses of deprevation the lack of advanced medicine and finance and corruption but in the west we are afflicted by inlesses of affluence and over abundance yknow heart disease, obesity and also corruption. But oh no advanced medicines and moral stances is to good for South Africa.
What has that to do with Islamofascists cheering in the streets and handing out sweets after every terrorist attack against Israelis?
Anything Goldstein did pales into insignificance against the thousands of massacres carried out against Jews throughout the MENA, one of the worst occurring in Hebron in 1929: 69 Jewish men, women and children slaughtered, dozens more injured, the rest ethnically cleansed. Look up Farhud for another shocking example, Mo.
Noone cares about your lies, babykiller.
MK your reply says everything about you,for clarification you are a very nasty person.
It’s not a comparison argument. What isreal is doing to Palestinians is categorically genocide. Deal with it.
Awwww C’mon Gaby, we both know asking a Muslim to look at their brutal history falls under the umbrella of ‘western lies’, ‘Jewish propaganda’
Etc…etc…etc
I’m sure Mohammed Khan only believes his Imam and the Koran, it’s why they are blind, just sheep believing what they are told by a book and by a clerical leader, don’t waste your time on him, he hates all Jews!
zio nazi’s must be smashed
The EU is one of the most shameful of the “look the other way” reactions from Western Govt.s and organisations. They have the resources to fly and ship in aid to Gaza today.
The Israeli butchers latest trick apparently is to flood alleged tunnels under Gaza with sea water–thereby likely wrecking the small fresh water aquifers under the territory. They want to exterminate Palestinians! And much of the world with the power to stop it is not going to do so.
Boycott Hard. Hit the Zionists were it hurts.
“And much of the world with the power to stop it is not going to do so.”
This, to me, is the most important point here. Why does what assume is good, fail to act accordingly in the face of bad!
How’s South Africa doing these days…???
Better than Gaza limp dick.
People who cite Nelson Mandela’s support of the national rights of the Palestinian people, which was indeed unwavering, usually fail to mention that he was no Israelophobe. He visited Israel in 1999, where, among other things, he accepted an honorary doctorate from Ben Gurion University. In a 1993 speech he said “We insist on the right of the state of Israel to exist within secure borders, but with equal vigour, support the Palestinian right to national self-determination”.
Further on the South African connection. Apologists for Hamas often compare its attacks on “apartheid Israel” (a phrase Mandela, who knew something about apartheid, never used) with the ANC-led struggle against the apartheid regime in South Africa. Eitay Mack is an Israeli human rights lawyer who has represented West Bank Palestinians in Israeli courts trying to get redress for abuse at the hands of Israeli security forces, and who at one stage attempted to bring legal proceedings against members of Israeli governments of the 1970s and 1980s who collaborated with apartheid South Africa. Here is what he had to say about this current war begun by Hamas in a recent Haaretz article:
“Their war should be seen as unjust and illegal by international law, even by those who agree Palestinians have the right to armed struggle. That’s because the goal of the Palestinian jihadist armed organisations is not to end the Israeli apartheid regime in the occupied Palestinian territories and fight for equality, like the ANC did in South Africa, but to destroy Israel and establish an Islamic theocratic dictatorship…Their means are also unjust and illegal. Unlike the ANC which did not have a policy of harming civilians and its leadership worked to prevent it, the main targets of the Palestinian Jihadist armed organisations have always been civilians, and their masterplan as outlined in documents like the Hamas charter is to commit genocide “between the Jordan river and the sea” against the Jewish and non-Jewish civilians who live there, who they consider traitors and collaborators”.
Nelson Mandela might not have called Israel an apartheid state but Hendrik Verwoerd, one of the architects of apartheid certainly did (approvingly of course), and the State of Israel had a very close military and diplomatic alliance with apartheid era South Africa.
Having said that, there are differences between the State of Israel and apartheid South Africa. The minority apartheid regime hoped to rule over and exploit a black majority in perpetuity. The State of South Africa wants to completely expel its rather large Arab minority from the territories which Israel covets. Thai and Filipino and other transient migrant labourers will then be used to work the land from which the Arabs have been dispossessed. So if all goes to plan, Israel will end up as a state more like New Zealand than apartheid South Africa.
Martyn, thank you for your heroic & courageous moral stand by standing up for justice for the Palestinians, both you & John Minto should be commended for your mana by calling out the barbaric crimes of Israel, this illegitimate State? This rotten & evil Apartheid, Zionist Nation called Israel thinks it can act with impunity, murdering at will without consequences just as the Nazi’s did, but a Day of reckoning is coming for Israel & America, it’s main Partner in the War crimes & Genocide? And now NZ along with every other Western lapdog Vassal of the US Empire is knee deep in the blood & slaughter of women & children in Gaza thanks to the imbecilic National Party Coalition of Bastards but what do you expect , NZ is a white Settler Nation built on the backs of displacing the Indigenous Maori Race, stealing their Lands & committing genocide against them & Israel is doing the same to the indigenous Palestinians? The Maori’s Nakba has been ongoing for 200 yrs & recently with ACT trying to get rid of their Rights enshrined in the Treaty of Waitangi so the Maori’s have something in common with the Palestinians? Palestine’s Nakba or Catastrophe started in 1917-18 then was ratified in 1948 with the establishment of the illegitimate Zionist State called Israel, Palestine’s catastrophic has been ongoing for over 70 yrs, the stated goal under the bloody bastard British & it’s Balfour Initiative, was to displace the Native Palestinian people in Palestine with repatriated European Jews! Do you notice a pattern here, like NZ, the British go in, fuck around & displace the indigenous population with a population of their choosing whether thats anglo saxon or others then buggar off to leave others to clean up the mess they created? The resettlement of Zionist European Jews turbocharged after WW2 with the Allies guilt over what happened to the Jews at the hands of the Nazis during the Holocaust, so the ongoing ethnic cleansing never ended as we are witnessing in 2024, it continues unabated today? Netanyahu & the Zionist Israel State is doing to the Palestinians what Hitler & Nazi Germany did to their forebears, hateful race based ethnic cleansing to kill off a entire race of people? And it is a direct result of America’s active participation, financial & Military support & those of other cowardly Western Countries like NZ that enables Israel to commit atrocious acts of murder & genocide & to belittle & defy International Law & spit in the face of the Geneva Convention & the United Nations! It is America that shits on UN International Law, Israel follows America’s immoral example of ignoring & undermining International laws because they don’t abide by them themselves, but they have the audacity to demand everyone else does, yet they won’t, so they trample on International Law & only follow their ridiculous Rules based Order in which they make up their own Rules & Laws? Already we are witnessing America & its Western vassals placating & defending Israel’s genocide, Israel despises the United Nations & anyone else who condemns their monstrous & murderous behaviour, they become enemies of Israel, they hypocritically trot pin the Yellow Star of the Holocaust to their lapels & call any criticism of Israel as being antisemitism but it isn’t antisemitism, it’s anti Zionism & thats very different because not all Jews are Zionists, thousands of Jews around the World are standing up for the rights of Palestinians! Only South Africa & tiny impoverished Yemen with the Ansar Allah Houthis are the only Two Nations in the World who have had the Mana & moral courage to stand up to the demonic & evil Nation of Israel & it’s main backers, America & it’s Western vassals, they are Heroes for Humanity in my eyes! This UNRWA controversy cooked up by Israel without any evidence to back up this false claim is a fictional, bullshit & bogus scheme done out of spite & bitterness over the ICJ judgement & hatred of the UN, Israel dreamed this up as punishment to undermine the Hague & the United Nations to cynically get Worldwide funding stopped & they have succeeded! This Aid provides Medical support & food to the Palestinians, this fund was set up in 1948 following the first Nakba by the UN & the Israelis have been trying for years to get rid off this but thanks to the weak & inept & incompetent leadership of Genocide Joe Biden, Israel has finally gotten its way to starve & destroy via famine & disease, clearly War crimes! Rather than obey the ICJ ruling’s, Israel thinks it can thumb it’s nose at International Law? Israel is headed for total destruction & America & it’s Imperial Empire will go down the shitter when the dust settles as well, mark by words, the end is coming for both of these War Criminal Nations!
Excuse me but did any of the barbaric Hamas murders stop to ask their intended victims if they were Zionists or not? Apparently many of the victims were left leaning peaceniks who advocated for Palestinians and even transported them and/or their offspring to hospitals and clinics if they were ill. Talk about appreciation.
Correct. Kibbutz are refuges of peacenik anti war socialist lefty greenies but like gays for Palestine they are shown no mercy by the ‘freedom fighting’ terrorists
Hahahah, imagine actually claiming this. I bet you think we’ll believe those kibbutzes are actually ‘socialist’ and have everyone collectively working on the farm too, instead of a bunch of Filipino slave labour.
The Salesman, Hamas hasn’t killed 30,000 Civilians & counting, but Israel has & Hamas hit Israeli Military Targets on Oct 7th & took hostage’s but Israel has thousands illegally detained in Prison for years, some for only throwing rocks & alot of those Israeli Hostages were killed by the incompetence of the IDF themselves during the attack due to their hopeless, unprofessional behaviour, most of the IDF are reservist soldiers who are poorly trained & inept, which is the reason why they are now evacuating out of Gaza, Hamas has kicked their ass! And what do you expect, payback is a bitch, Israel has been committing genocide & killing Palestinians for over 70 yrs & this is what happens when a oppressed people say ENOUGH, if you jail Palestinians without trial, starve, humiliate & ethnically cleanse a entire Race in the Worlds largest open air prison & Concentration camp called Gaza & the West Bank, then the evil Zionists get what they bloody deserve? Israel is reaping the bitter harvest it has sowed & continues to sow, Hamas has responded in the only Language the Israeli’s understand! VIOLENCE!
Where’s your concern for the hundreds of thousands of Muslims slaughtered by their own kind throughout the Middle East?
Only the Jews seem to get you worked up. Funny that.
Antforce62 if you must pen epistles please have them edited before you publish them.
The video of the Israeli gunmen in the hospital looks exactly like a US school or mall shooting, truly horrific. New Zealand must continue it’s fight against this terrorism, condemn these violent acts and use diplomatic, intelligence and legal channels to bring the perpetrators to justice.
Mana my arse. South Africa is a violent, corrupt, racist and soon to be failed state that is an Iranian proxy acting for Hamas.
jack -100% Correct
If this was that correct then you’d be able to post evidence that supports your surety but of course you won’t, you won’t ever do it because well, you live in a world of make believe.
South Africa is what and working for whom and whom?
Crack up.
Fuck you talk some shit. Take your lithium.
To my knowledge it’s the only country in Africa currently committing genocide against its own citizens.
Post verifiable evidence please, because you claim is huge. The failure to post verifiable evidence equals Andrew is,a prime time porky teller. John Banks would love you, given that porkies looks the most probable outcome here.
No one in there right mind would believe that.
You said it
The hypocrisy of South Africa is deafening its rates of violent crime and unemployment are at catastrophic levels with up to 50% of black youths unemployed.
The distribution of wealth between the rich and poor disgraceful one of the biggest divides in the world.
A massacre 95 years ago makes genocide now ok?
After 2000 years Israelites can return to Palestine and take the land.
Maori can return to Hawaiki or Asia and take the land.
Native Americans can return to Siberia and take the land.
Gypsies can return to India and the take land.
Potatoe famine Irish Americans can return to Ireland and the take land.
What madness
