Shame man, that's hectic. Mine too. 😂😂

Israel must be held accountable for this destruction & the murder of over 350k Palestinians in 2-yrs.
The US & its proxies must be held accountable
There must be reparations.
Palestinians' right to self-determination, to resist, and right of return is the only guarantor of a peaceful resolution

The rubble of Gaza. Evidence of a genocide

They issued statements that ceasefire commenced just on an hour ago.
It appears they managed to adhere to it for 30 minutes. Words cannot convey the contempt they deserve. Solidarity from South Africa, we will not rest until Palestine is free. Stay safe.

The cease fire is wonderful news. I rejoice in the respite it offers the people of Gaza.
It is a victory for the rPalestinian people and the resistance. But the struggle is far from over. FREE PALESTINE!!!

Apparently the diplomatic element is linked to the GNU & keeping the DA's Zionist backers onside.

I assume non-action on energy sanctions is directly related to the amount of coal Patrice Motsepe's companies are selling to Israel. The diplomatic element is more baffling.

& one of these two countries is yet to close the Israeli embassy, despite its parliament passing a motion to do so in November 2023! (Clue, it's not Colombia).

Only two countries have responded - at a governmental level -to the abduction of the GSF delegates and interdiction of the Global Summed Flotilla.
It's a disgrace, where are the international voices? It's not as if they haven't had enough time to prepare responses for this eventuality.

Francesca Albanese tweets:
**POST-ABDUCTION of #GSF delegates**:
🇨🇴 President
@petrogustavo
announces expulsion of Israeli diplomats + suspension of Free Trade Agreement with Israel.
🇿🇦 President
@CyrilRamaphosa
requests immediate release of 100s abducted.

And the rest of the world: what are they doing?
