The awkwardness and irony of trying to raise money to fight a law suit against me is not lost. But. They cannot win. Please support my BaB campaign. Share. Amplify. backabuddy.co.za/campaign/me…

If Brazil did it, we can vote out the DA in Cape Town's 2026 local elections. And Joburg!

One of the highlights of my time in Jordan was visiting UNWRA archives and examining the index cards and other records of the 750,000 Palestinians kicked off their land at the Nakba in 1948. They used to be kept in Gaza and were airlifted out at the beginning of the genocide- Israel has destroyed all the archives that remained. They form the best evidence for some form of reparations in the future and are now being scanned and digitalised
غزة ومنعطف التاريخ: الشرق الأوسط قبل وبعد النهضة (أرض) تنظّم زيارة للمؤرخ ويليام دالريمبل إلى أرشيف الأونروا وحواراً رفيع المستوى حول فلسطين
Gaza and the Turning of History: The Middle East Before and After ARDD Organizes William Dalrymple’s Visit to UNRWA Archives and High-Level Dialogue on Palestine
نظّمت منظمة النهضة العربية للديمقراطية والتنمية (أرض)، من خلال مركز النهضة الاستراتيجي، وتحت عنوان «غزة ومنعطف التاريخ: الشرق الأوسط قبل وبعد»، زيارة إلى أرشيف الصور والأفلام التابع لوكالة الأمم المتحدة لإغاثة وتشغيل اللاجئين الفلسطينيين (الأونروا)، بمشاركة المؤرخ والكاتب البريطاني البارز ويليام دالريمبل، إلى جانب لقاء عمل حواري رفيع المستوى جمع دبلوماسيين وأكاديميين وصنّاع سياسات وخبراء إقليميين، لمناقشة التطورات في غزة وفلسطين ضمن التحولات التاريخية والسياسية الأوسع التي يشهدها الشرق الأوسط.
وخلال الزيارة إلى أرشيف الأونروا، التي نُظّمت بالتعاون مع الوكالة، اطّلع دالريمبل على سجلات ووثائق تاريخية توثّق تهجير الفلسطينيين وتجارب اللاجئين وذاكرتهم الجماعية منذ عام 1948. ويُعدّ هذا الأرشيف، المدرج ضمن برنامج ذاكرة العالم التابع لليونسكو، مرجعاً تاريخياً مهماً يبرز ضرورة الحفاظ على التاريخ الفلسطيني والهوية الوطنية وتجارب أجيال متعاقبة من اللاجئين. للمزيد: ardd-jo.org/news/%d8%ba%d8%b…
The Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD), through its Renaissance Strategic Center (RSC), organised, under the theme “Gaza and the Turning of History: The Middle East Before and After,” a visit to the UNRWA Photo and Film Archives with renowned British historian and author William Dalrymple, alongside a high-level working lunch bringing together diplomats, academics, policymakers, and regional experts to reflect on Gaza and Palestine within the broader historical and political transformations shaping the Middle East.
During the visit to the UNRWA Archives, facilitated in cooperation with UNRWA, Dalrymple explored historical records documenting Palestinian displacement, refugee experiences, and collective memory since 1948. Recognized by UNESCO’s Memory of the World Programme, the archives underscore the importance of preserving Palestinian history, identity, and the experiences of generations of refugees.

This!
Mexico and Brazil - by far the biggest and most geopolitically important countries in Latin America, are now firmly in the socialist, peace-loving, humane camp, with two exceptional leaders.
The Zionist-imperial continent-wide coup has failed, just like their military endeavours in West Asia, and their economic war on China have failed. Just like the attempt to use Ukraine to break Russia.
The sun is setting on the Epstein class, and the Global South is rising. What utterly sweet huge fucking history we're going to witness

A “leaked study solicited by Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs... found that the most effective tactic in shifting public opinion would be to drive fear of “Radical Islam” and “Jihadism.”
Israel needs you to hate Muslims.
When you see American politicians demonizing people based on religion, remember that Israel is betting on Islamophobia to save its standing in the West:

The way they play victim and talk about being terrified when absolutely NOTHING happened to them…
Meanwhile, a Palestinian kid gets shot in the neck by Israeli soldier while sitting inside his tent.
I REALLY need u to shut the fuck up.
Today in London, Jews considering moving to Israel are attending an event
The @metpoliceuk had to impose restrictions to protect them from protests and intimidation
Making British Jews leave the UK is not enough for the antisemites - they are hounding them on their way out too

How the fuk can people watch the killing, the destruction, the maiming, the land theft, and children being starved to death, & STILL think antisemitism is the most pressing issue in the world?
Israel is committing a genocide while constantly finding new ways to kill more Palestinians.
Fk Israel and its endless machinery of death.

They use lies to sow division. Muslims have lived with us for centuries. We must ask who will benefit from this nonsensical propaganda, I suspect #ApartheidIsrael 🤔
*VIRAL HALAL VIDEO: SONGEZO ZIBI DEBUNKS CLAIMS*
A woman's viral video alleging that South Africa's Muslim minority is imposing halal food on the Christian majority has sparked widespread criticism.
*Songezo Zibi, leader of RISE Mzansi, challenges these claims* in this video. @SongezoZibi
Prominent voices, including *Phumzile van Damme and Redi Tlhabi*, have also challenged the narrative, while *News24 has published a detailed fact-check* exposing misconceptions surrounding halal certification.
Concerns have also been raised about attempts to import divisive religious narratives into South Africa.

they don't allow them to take their cars or belongings because these zio parasites aren't content with just stealing their homes. they want their cars, their furniture, their family heirlooms, toys, food, books, appliances, electronics, kitchen supplies, and so on, just like they did in 1948.
"ضبّوا أغراضكم، جبنالكم هجرة"!
بهذه الوقاحة الاستعمارية، يواصل الاحتلال الإسرائيلي اقتلاع الفلسطينيين من أرضهم في الخليل، مُجبرًا نحو 250 أسرة من منطقتي فرش الهوا وأبو اكتيلة على إخلاء منازلها قسرًا.
لا يُسمح للعائلات بأخذ مركباتها، ولا حتى بحمل ممتلكاتها؛ حقيبة ملابس واحدة فقط لكل أسرة!
ليس إخلاءً، بل تهجير قسري منظّم، تُنتزع فيه العائلات من بيوتها وتُجرّد من أبسط مقومات حياته
Watching footage of families forced to leave their homes in Hebron in the middle of the night is like watching a scene from Fiddler on the Roof. How in the name of hell can these barbarians get away with this?

My recent interview on Politics Joe, explaining how the US, UK & EU could stop the killing in Gaza within a couple of weeks. By stopping arms supplies to Israel. By not doing so they are complicit in the slaughter

We know how much it matters to live in a country where our rights are protected, where the law applies equally to everyone, and where the majority can’t just decide that some people don’t deserve the same freedoms. The safety and freedom we’ve found in America didn’t happen by accident. They exist because of democracy. And protecting democracy means protecting Jewish safety, too.
We know what happens when those protections start to break down. When courts are weakened, elections are undermined, and people lose equal protection under the law, minorities are often the first to pay the price. Jews have seen this throughout our history. It’s one of the reasons so many of our families sought refuge in democratic countries.
That’s why I find it so alarming to see what’s happening right now. When masked government agents are taking people off the streets and citizens are being shot in public, we should all be worried about where things are headed. As Jews, we know that when a government starts targeting certain groups of people, no one should assume they’re safe from what comes next.
Mike Rogers has chosen to align himself with a movement that is willing to attack our democracy. He stood with Trump and refused to accept the results of the 2020 election. And now we’re seeing what happens when a political movement treats the rights and dignity of certain people as disposable. For Jews, these things should set off alarm bells.
Jewish safety is tied to the health of our democracy. We can’t protect one without protecting the other. And in this Senate race, Abdul is the candidate who understands that and is willing to fight for it.

It’s worth clarifying something as folks are sharing news of the West Bank being “shut down”. Importantly, it is not the entire West Bank which is shut down—it is Palestinian cities, towns, and villages. Settlers are free to travel through open roads and checkpoints, as always.
