Apartheid in South Africa and Israel compared. 1984: 19.1M Black South Africans could not vote. 2026: 3.4M Palestinians in the West Bank and 2.1M in Gaza cannot vote for the Knesset. ICJ, 1971: apartheid flagrantly violates the UN Charter. ICJ, 2024: Israel breaches the ban on apartheid.
Slide 1 of 4. Who could vote, then and now. South Africa 1984: 19.1M Black people excluded from the tricameral parliament. Israel 2026: 3.4M in the West Bank and 2.1M in Gaza excluded from Knesset votes. Arab-led parties hold 16% of Knesset seats. Slide 2 of 4. Seats in parliament, no share of power. 1984: coloured and Indian leaders joined the South African cabinet without portfolios. 2021: Ra'am's leader joined the Israeli government without a ministry. Slide 3 of 4. God-given land, existential threat. 13% of land reserved for black South Africans in 1936; 40% of West Bank land under Palestinian administration. Quotes from Daniel Malan and Tzipi Hotovely. Slide 4 of 4. The world court ruled on both. ICJ 1971 called apartheid a flagrant violation of the UN Charter. ICJ 2024 found Israel breaches the ban on segregation and apartheid. 74,561 killed in Gaza since October 2023.

We can normally make statements based on observations, expert opinions and analyses from internationally recognized organisations.

However, when it comes to the duty to prevent genocide, the mainstream media claims that we cannot talk about it yet.

It is ILLEGAL to wait and see what the verdict will be from The International Court of Justice regarding genocide. All countries of the world are legally obligated to stop Israel.

Hvorfor videregiver Politiken det israelsk-amerikanske narrativ om besættelsen af Gaza i strid med international lov?

Ikke engang den danske regering benægter at Gaza har været besat siden 1967 (iflg. ministersvar oktober 2023)

Politiken har ændret sin faktaboks, men fortsætter med at vildlede om besættelsen af Gaza - i strid med afgørelse fra Den Internationale Domstol.

Det er en forbrydelse når Israel stopper nødhjælp til Gaza.

Danske medier misinformerer hvis de beskriver det som andet.

This 10-minute podcast episode was created based on the questions posed in the movie I created yesterday (see the quoted post).

The questions from the movie are referred to as "the source material" in the podcast episode.

Der har været mange historier om antisemitisme de sidste par uger. Hvad er op og ned? Hvad er sandt og falsk? Hvilke nuancer er udeladt?

Og hvor stammer historierne fra?

Amnesty og Red Barnet kører en kampagne hvor du kan repræsentere et barn i Gaza.

Mit barn i Gaza er Serene og hun er 1 år.

SERENE HAR RETTEN TIL AT LEVE.

HUN HAR RETTEN TIL AT VOKSE OP I FRIHED.

HUN HAR RETTEN TIL EN BARNDOM UDEN SULT, FORDRIVELSE, FRYGT, SKUD OG BOMBER.
