South African media has gone into overdrive trying to show what a magnificent job the legal team did at the #ICJ. The reality is that they were appalling. They presented half truths, missing information and relied on Hamas figures. They were decimated by Israel's dignified team

The genius of the Pager attacks on #Hezbollah can't be overstated. It's tantamount to having membership cards explode. It's targeted, personal, and doesn't allow for the claim of civilian deaths. It removes operatives from the field and disables communication. It also reestablishes Israel's dominance, and gives Israelis and supporters a win that is so needed. More than that it's outrageous and very cool (unless you owned a pager).

South African Daniel Perez is laid to rest. Hamas held his body for 2 years. The @MYANC and @DIRCO_ZA were aware, but chose to support Hamas. They chose Hamas over a South African. A perfect illustration of their approach..
The funeral procession for IDF Cpt. Daniel Perez, whose body was returned from captivity Monday, has left the Shura military base, reports @ArutzSheva_En. Cpt. Perez died battling Hamas terrorists on October 7, and his body was taken hostage. May his memory be a blessing🕯️

The increasingly desperate @MYANC have doubled down on their support for Iran. This is a nation that kills women for uncovering their hair, puts gay people to death, jais anyone who speaks out, have sworn to destroy an independent country, and who actively seek nuclear weapons to do so. To say that the @MYANC has lost it's way is an insult to those lost. The truth is that they have failed South Africans, brought pain to the people of this wonderful land and have chosen to align with the world's most murderous regime. The veil has fallen, @PresidencyZA. We see you and your cohorts for who you really are. Ugly and evil.

When @MYANC was motivated by their hatred of Israel, they managed, in weeks, to formulate a complex case for the ICJ. But South Africans need to wait months for a commission of enquiry on police corruption that we know will yield no results? Shows where the priorities aren't.

When a Member of Parliament resigns, it’s usually political. But when @powellemmaloui1 stepped away, her parting words hit differently and dangerously.

If true, this is a national security concern.

The Ophthalmic Society of South Africa was threatened and bullied into retracting an invitation to a world expert (Israeli) who was due to present at their conference. But when, after push back from their members, they conducted a survey they found that 81% of their society supported inviting the speaker. This proves a number of things: - Just because they scream loudly, it doesn't mean they speak for everyone. - Pushing back against the bullies works. - There are more good people than haters. OSSA have re-invited the speaker and await his response.
