On Saturday, 24 October, at a rally in the North West province, EFF leader and convicted criminal Julius Malema again called for the slaughtering of white people and farmers in South Africa with the hateful "Kill the Boer"-chant.
4 days later, on Wednesday morning the 28th, also in the North West province, farmer Donovan Marx was attacked, shot in the back, stabbed, beaten, and tortured.
Don't tell me it's "just a song".

As a Christain, do you support the fact that almost every single takeaway brand is halal.
That means that the person doing the slaughtering invokes the name of allah when they slaughter the animal.
This means that the animals are not stunned first.
This means that a fee is paid to a muslim organisation to certify this food.
If am muslim will not eat meat unless it halal, why are Christians having halal food forced onto them when muslims make up 2-3% of the population?

Just to clarify, did the Jews travel to Palestine to kill Jesus, or was Jesus killed during a trip to Poland?

Israel-Palestine coverage on @Wikipedia has been reshaped since Oct 7 by a core group of roughly three dozen ideologically-motivated editors, the Gang of 40.
NPOV conducted an analysis of the six leaders of this group which shows how it works.
Our reports, published here, reveal how this accretive, mostly under-the-radar strategy run by a handful of accounts managed to undermine knowledge infrastructure on the most contentious geopolitical topic today.
The Key Tactics that our reports reveal:
+ They worked in groups of 2, 3, 4, 5, or all 6, rotating in ways that obscure coordination.
+ Pairs overlapped on up to 1,463 articles, and all six converged on 64 pages.
+ Up to 90% of their edits went to this one topic, sustained for up to two decades.
+ Deletion sprints cleared material faster than others could respond.
- One account removed 14,312 characters from the Labour antisemitism article in two edits, two minutes apart
- ~25,500 from Amnesty's in 22 edits;
- ~11,600 from the Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's in 23 minutes.
+ The group shaped the Reliable Sources discussions that decide which outlets can be cited anywhere on Wikipedia.
- Western and NATO sources were dismissed, while outlets like Al Jazeera were defended.
+ They logged 18,000+ edits on Wikipedia's administrator noticeboards, where disputes over conduct are decided.
+ On talk pages, volume stood in for consensus: one editor posted 11 times in four hours on the Zionism page.
+ On Oct 7, 2023, with the attack still underway, one of the Six renamed the article on it from "Hamas attack on Israel" to "Gaza−Israel conflict."
+ May 2024: another removed the section on the Oct 7 attack from the Gaza war article, including the Nova festival massacre, 251 hostages and reports of sexual violence.
+ Eight editors were topic-banned for conduct. Not one of their edits was reversed by the ArbCom proceeding. The pages they built were never audited.

Hours and hours of previously unseen, sickening footage collected by @ManotoNews document the Iranian regime’s mass killing of protesters.
@AndyJehring and I were given access to this extraordinary archive — including footage captured by protesters in their final moments.
The scale of the bloodshed, and the brutality of the regime, are laid bare.

South Africans are suffering because of the racist policies of their government.
When will South Africa let the greatest South African entrepreneur of all time do business in the country?
Elon Musk says he was offered the opportunity to obtain a license for Starlink to operate in South Africa if he would pretend that a Black person runs the company.
Elon refused to do so on the principle that racism should not be rewarded.
South Africa’s unemployment rate is 33.6%, and the expanded unemployment rate (which includes those who want to work but have given up searching for a job) is 43.8%!
But it seems South Africa’s leaders are more concerned with enacting racist anti-White policies than creating jobs for the country’s population.

Good morning 🇿🇦,
South African leaders must understand that there is no strategic benefit in aligning with a regime like Iran's or pursuing Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Let the Arab nations do that — not South Africa. In geopolitics, sometimes a statement is enough; you don't need to act on it. Siding with Iran against the US and Israel isn't helpful. It's a blunder that will end up hurting ordinary South Africans.

The South African government knows exactly what it needed to do, but its officials failed to act.
Those who enact discriminatory policies and incite violence have no place in the United States. They must face the consequences of their own actions.
As @POTUS has made clear, the South African people are being failed by a government that is destroying its economy through an obsessive pursuit of racial grievance against the Afrikaner minority. The South African government has consistently failed to adequately address rural crime, violent and dehumanizing rhetoric, and race-based discriminatory policies against Afrikaners and other minority populations.
Today, I’m announcing a new visa restriction policy targeting foreign nationals who enact or enable policies that promote race-based discrimination, incite violence, or enable land confiscation without compensation in South Africa. Those responsible for these injustices have no place in the United States. state.gov/releases/office-of…

As has been made absolutely clear, the time for endless “dialogue” has run its course. No more. America has just so much patience. We want strong, and lasting relations with the South African government. It needs to show it wants the same. So far it has shown it cares for neither. As a result, the consequences, as I’ve attempted time and again to express, are necessarily going to be severe. This visa restriction policy is only the first step in a series of escalatory measures that will show America’s firm resolve in this matter.
