All you need to do to get an intolerance label on Blue Sky is point out that many Israelis can be regarded as white.
The vast majority of Israelis are European and they completely control the State of Israel. That makes Israel a White country just as much as South Africa was a White country until its apartheid political-system collapsed:
Most Israelis have majority ancestry from the Middle East and South Africa. Israel is not a white country for the most part. Netanyahu's approval in Israel is around 40%. It's much higher among Western conservatives, e.g. 72% among US Republicans.

The ceasefire is a farce. Palestinians continue to be targeted in Gaza and illegal settler activity ramps up in West Bank.

The US government appointed agents for registering and assisting Afrikaner 'refugees' fire their South African early 2025, illegally replace them with Kenyan nationals who are here as tourists and act butt-hurt when their dodgy operation is raided by immigration authorities.

Putting aside the murders, rapes, sexual assaults, the trafficking, the gangsterism, the assaults, the fraud, the extortion, the betrayals & complete disregard of venue SHE, Puff Daddy seems extremely unlikeable.

Woke up to the tragic news of Rob & Michelle Reiner's murders. Between 1984 and 1987 Rob Reiner made three of the greatest US movies of all time. He followed them up with When Harry Met Sally, Misery and A Few Good Men. An amazing film maker.

The fact that SAFC were crap (albeit with more confidence & higher energy levels) and were worse than us in front of goal does not make the loss any easier to bear, in fact it makes it worse. #nufc

Interesting interview on Germany's unique approach to anti-Semitism, freedom of speech & the rightward racist drift in mainstream politics.
Deeply concerning, particulately in the context of the central role played by the Stichtings play in our NGO sector

A week late, but this has to be the most craven opinion pieces I have read about SA's foreign policy. This is a clear articulation of a Western neo-liberal agenda. It's interesting that their desired economic outcome aligns precisely with AfriSol.

US-South Africa relations are under significant stress. Cyril Ramaphosa’s government could play the issue more smartly.

I haven't been on BlueSky much recently, but have returned to find further erasure of Palestinian voices. The removal @itsmeio.bsky.social seems particularly egregious.
@moderation.bsky.app review these deletions. Silencing ordinary Palestinians puts you on the wrong side of history.

The US claims the ceasefire still holds, but a minimum of 242 Palestinians have been killed by Israel since 10 October and more than 600 injured. An unknown number have been reported missing.
