A delayed thank you :)

I love how he spoke calmly and clearly, and backed up by facts

Excellent analysis and points made in the video. Thanks for the new find.

At this point Israel's word means absolutely nothing, they have little to no credibility

Thanks for the link, it was a really eye-opening video.

One would hope for an actual humanitarian ceasefire. But a humanitarian pause seems to be a pause to bandage up people and get them some food for a small period before allowing Israel to bomb those same people again.

A proper ceasefire is really needed right now, but the US and Europe seems very opposed, and is rather arguing about the terms 'ceasefire' and 'pause', as if that's the most important thing right now.

Oh i answered every one of your questions.

Borders absolutely did change internally in south africa, despite you claiming that borders did not. And i want to point out that israel is the occupying force in gaza and west bank, so if they go for a one state solution then borders would be internally changed. If they go for a two state solution borders would still be internally affected, so i don't know what you are complaining about.

South africa did start over from scratch, did you read about the new constitution drawn up, the overhaul of the apartheid laws set in place, the putting in place of a government of national unity, the democratic elections, the overhauling of the judicial system, etc. There was a whole fucking lot of change. And, let me repeat this from my previous reply, the apartheid government stealing the state coffers dry, so the new government started from scratch.

Apartheid wasn't just a policy, it was an ideology, a state of being for the racist minority, a hellish state of being for the majority. So fuck you for being reductive about Apartheid. This is the reason why so many south africans could and can always absolutely relate to the hell that palestinians are living through.

Israel is practicing a worse form of Apartheid, that is absolutely clear for any south african to see, so the comparison between israel and Apartheid south africa is more valid than many other comparisons.

Lastly, i was answering your questions because i have some knowledge on the subject. And fuck me for engaging with people on a social media platform all about engagement, right?

I can answer that. Apartheid south africa had no fucking right to exist; the policies and the country. It should have been dissolved entirely long before it eventually was.

South Africa did start from scratch after the end of the Apartheid, if you know anything about how much the Apartheid government looted the state coffers bare before democracy.

Talking about Afrikaaners leaving and natives staying is disingenuous. Everyone wanted Apartheid sympathisers gone, and to coexist as equal citizens in the new democratic country.

I can draw so many parallels between Apartheid south africa and israel.

I think you're getting confused. Before the creation of Israel there were jewish palestinians, and Christian Palestinians and muslim Palestinians. And then the apartheid ethnostate of Israel was created, and israel made everyone who was not jewish a 2nd class citizen or a refugee.

Before the creation of israel people of the three faiths were living together in Palestine.

So i'm quite sure the problem is actually israel

Why can't there be Jewish Palestinians?

Thanks for that read

20 trucks are a drop of what is really needed. In normal times an average of 500 trucks would enter gaza and be needed every day.

A complete ceasefire and unlimited humanitarian aid is sorely needed right now.
