Colonial Convergence

Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi, who teaches at the University of #Haifa, #israelPalestine, explained the paradox: “One can detest Jews and love Israelis, because Israelis somehow are not Jews. Israelis are colonial fighters and settlers, just like Afrikaners. They are tough and resilient. They know how to dominate. Jews are different. They are, among other qualities, gentle, non-physical, often passive, intellectual. So one can go on disliking Jews while admiring the Israelis.”

Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi, "The Israeli Connection. Who Israel Arms and Why", Pantheon Books, New York, 1987; cited by Alain Gresh: https://africasacountry.com/2009/08/south-africa-and-israel/ @israel

"This is where mass surveillance comes in. While it is unreasonable to assume that everything you do in public will be kept private from prying eyes, there is a real expectation that when you travel throughout town over the course of a day—running errands, seeing a doctor, going to or from work, attending a protest—that the entirety of your movements is not being precisely tracked, stored by a single entity, and freely shared with the government." #MassSurveillance #VumaCam #Vumatel #SouthAfrica

South African Rural Sculpture

South Africa has a rich rural carving #tradition. During the 1980’s this mode of #artistic expression acquired new dimensions with the emergence of rural #artists who were self taught and unexposed to other influences. As a result of the isolating of black South Africans into rural community areas, the artists residing in these areas created work that was authentic and unconditioned.

A float portrays Semitic people as black dogs labeled with the word "HASS" (hate), and as a woman in keffiyeh with a cartoonishly large nose on a float at this year's #Carnevale parade in #Cologne.

#Germans feel emboldened to parade the streets wearing #RedFace.

#Germany has attacked #SouthAfrica's genocide case against #Israel at the #ICJ more severely than any other nation. To show the world that they wont budge from their commitment to #genocide in #Palestine, they publicly celebrate the genocide of #indigenous nations.

Only in South Africa!
Spar is a major supermarket chain in South Africa, Stilbaai is a small town.
Bunny chow is a fast food dish consisting of a hollowed-out loaf of white bread filled with curry.
Holontplof loosely translated means “Arse Explosion”
