Genuine post on a social media legal advice group earlier today 🙄
When you're fleeing a genocide but Dezemba is Dezemba.
Screen grab of a post: Good day, my husband applied for refugee status in America for all of us. We had the first telephonic interview and now we have a face to face interview coming up. What I want to know is, if the refugee status is granted, are we allowed to come back to SA on holiday to see family? If so, is there a time limit on how long we can come back for? I’ve tried to google it but there are conflicting answers.

The US Senate Foreign Relations Committee has approved the extreme right-wing and racist Leo Brent Bozell III to serve as ambassador to South Africa.
We should do to him what Americans are doing to Ice - follow him around with whistles wherever he goes.

"I saw the South African President running his mouth a little bit against the United States and the President of the United States
... and that language is not appreciated.
"Running his mouth". But it's HIS language that's not appreciated 🙄
I'm sure she was saying the word "uppity" in her head.

These are ethnic cleansing operations by thr Israeli government using an NGO to traffic Palestinians outside of Gaza. The goal for Israel is to empty Gaza of Palestinians either by killiny them or removing them to other countries.

Welcome!
"Israel deliberately did not stamp the passports of these poor people to exacerbate their suffering in a foreign country. We are grateful that the Minister of DIRCO took the initiative to write to the Ministry of Home Affairs to waive this requirement..."
A post by Gift of the Givers: Must Read| Gift of the Givers thanks DIRCO (Department of International Relations and Cooperation) DG Zane Dangor, and Minister Ronald Lamola for receiving Palestinian refugees who arrived on a flight to Johannesburg this morning, with open arms. This is in keeping with South Africa's policy of standing with Palestine by taking the Terrorist, Genocidal, Apartheid State of Israel to the ICJ, ICC, and garnering a boycott of that country at Bogota. The Border Management Authority acted in accordance with its mandate by not allowing passengers without an exit stamp to disembark. Israel deliberately did not stamp the passports of these poor people to exacerbate their suffering in a foreign country. We are grateful that the Minister of DIRCO took the initiative to write to the Ministry of Home Affairs to waive this requirement, yet this could have been implemented by Home Affairs unilaterally on humanitarian grounds. We thank the South African government for coming to the assistance of the Palestinian people yet again. Gift of the Givers, with other civil society partners, will provide humanitarian assistance to the refugees. We extend our particular gratitude to Nigel Branken, Zaheerah Bham-Ismail, Na'eem Jinnah, and the Gift of the Givers teams, who assisted with legal and medical care.

This is email that interests me the most. The one where Wolff and Epstein discuss how they can blackmail Trump.
Mr, Wolff was also involved in a third email exchange, which began on Dec. 15, 2015, the night of a debate in the Republican presidential primary. Mr. Wolff emailed Mr. Epstein and warned him that CNN was "planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you - either on air or in scrum afterward." Mr. Epstein wrote back, "If we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?" Text: Mr. Wolff advised inaction, suggesting that Mr. Trump might try to deny a close association with Mr. Epstein. "I think you should let him hang himself," he wrote of Mr. Trump. "If he says he hasn't been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable P.R. and political currency" that could be used to "hang him" later or "save him, generating a debt".

Bozo the Third doesn't know what genocide is, but he knows Israel isn't committing it. Another one of Trump's best and brightest merit hires.
Screenshot of text; a post by Sherwin Bryce-Pease: Bozell was asked by Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen if he agreed that the allegation that South Africa was engaged in genocide against Afrikaners was absurd: This is a transcript of their exchange: Bozell: If you were to talk to those people who are involved... Van Hollen: Mr Bozell I'm sorry, genocide is a legally defined issue. No no, it's not a question about someone's impression, there's a legal definition. To your knowledge has the State Dept legal advisor concluded that the Govt of SA is engaged in Genocide? Bozell: Senator I don't know that answer Van Hollen: Well you should. It's a straight-forward question, I'm not gonna... its a straight-forward question, there's a legal definition of genocide, I wanna know if you agree that that's an absurd claim made by the President of the United States. Bozell: Senator I'm not a lawyer so I can't address it that way.

Text screenshot, post by South African Jews for a Free Palestine: The Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Centre is currently hosting a conference of international genocide scholars. However, the JHGC has not spoken out about the genocide in Gaza. They are waiting for the ICJ or another UN legal body’s final ruling. At our protest vigil on Monday, some conference delegates joined us and thanked us for raising the visibility of the Gaza genocide. Join us on Thursday at 4:30pm as we remind the JHGC of their mandate to educate about previous genocides in order to prevent future genocides. Being silent during a genocide is, to use their language, to be a bystander and bystanders, in our language, are complicit.
