A reminder that Elon Musk has enough wealth to end poverty in South Africa.
Everyday day he chooses not to is a moral failure

From the Rome Statute:
“The ICC is intended to complement, not to replace, national criminal systems; it prosecutes cases only when States do not are unwilling or unable to do so genuinely.”
In other words, Israel has been unwilling or unable to hold the genocidal govt to account

It’s never too late to do the right thing.
Will we see the West being consistent in their values after the pressure applied to states on Putin and Bashir? Or will they once again undermine the same institutions?

With Joe Biden consistently vetoing ceasefire resolutions and continuing to arm Israel, risking nuclear war with Russia, what does the rest of the world have to fear from Trump?

This case is a crystal clear example that Human Rights is not a Western idea. Today we see the Global South defending humanity by its own hard fought ideals while the West sits in silence

Reminder: a fundamental reason for BRICS was due to economic fallout of states taking moral stands against US invasion of Iraq.
South Africa may very well suffer economically by doing the right thing, but a partnership like BRICS can help soften that blow

After lecture on International Law student asked if SA's case against Israel at ICJ was to aid Putin.
I am stunned that this is how the case might be presented in some circles.
For the record: SA & Palestine have a long partnership that predates even the Iranian Revolution

The ICJ case brought by South Africa against Israel is likely to have important repercussions for the US, UK & EU. Military aid to Israel could be ruled as aiding acts of genocide precipitating serious domestic political problems if that aid isn’t suspended.

Hell burns a little bright today

I would like to thank Matt Hancock for making my next lecture on Necropolitics a whole lot easier to explain

Growing up under Apartheid I initially accepted Israel's general stance. It wasn't until I saw a documentary comparing conscription & objectors btwn Israel and Apartheid that shook me free of the propaganda.
Almost identical harsh treatment of anyone who objected to being tools of oppression
