</a>
</h2>
<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>South Africa cancelled visa exemptions for Palestinians following an investigation into a mysterious charter flight that brought dozens of people from Gaza into the country without proper documentation last month.</p>
<p>In a statement, South Africa’s Department of Home Affairs said investigations had confirmed “the deliberate and ongoing abuse of the 90-day visa exemption for Palestinian ordinary passport holders by Israeli actors linked to ‘voluntary emigration’ efforts for residents of the Gaza Strip”.</p>
<p>The controversy began in mid-November, when 153 men, women and children <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/south-africa-accepts-plan-palestinians-flushed-out-gaza" target="_blank">arrived in Johannesburg</a> on a flight from Nairobi. They were held on the aircraft for more than 12 hours because their passports did not carry Israeli exit stamps.</p>

What makes me angriest about the fake AI videos where people yell at ICE is that there’s a million actual videos, there’s actual priests being pelted with pepper balls, it’s just that the real priest didn’t say “we worship the real God not your ORANGE one” so he wasn’t quippy enough

Because you're sad and angry and scared and miserable all the time and after a while you just get numb to everything, you can't have proper emotions any more. You can coping-strategy your way into severe emotional dysregulation.

Elon Musk is against the European Union being the European Union —he posted this after X (fka Twitter) was fined for violations of the EU’s Digital Services Act.
