![[CW: Racism] South Africa’s president unambiguously sides with Palestine. Sympathizers of settler-colonial state respond predictably.](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/8c19cc38-2f1a-4250-b06d-c35622ff7b67.jpeg){kind=link}
They can’t help themselves, can they.
Real quick, someone tell me what Israel was doing in Africa during the Cold War? And what they’re doing now by sterilizing African Jews and having IDF train American police departments? Gee, sure is curious why their supporters seem to match this rhetoric.
I sure hope more Western chauvinists show their asses like this. I’m sure it will go well with the people of color in the West as well as all the African nations they’re trying to appeal to (lest they get seduced by big bad China).
This is tangential to the ANC-aligned president of SA making a statement of solidarity, but I still want to comment.
The EFF's racial populism (in spite of their efforts to try to reach out to other ethnic groups, including whites, particularly recently) is an unfortunate result of the racial antagonisms that the ANC failed to address. That said, it's currently the most likely South African party to be transformed into an actual vanguard, even if it's far from it now.
