When people say Israel has the right to defend it self” you must say, What is it defending? When people say Israel has the right to exist. You must ask, to what end? As a Palestinian, this was therapeutic to listen to.

Dear South African Zionists, you are not unsafe. Learn to tell the difference between being uncomfortable when your beliefs are challenged, and being unsafe (like in Gaza). If you are struggling to be loud and proud supporters of a genocide that is your problem. End of.

So they are shutting them down from Khayamandi. Wow. That's Stellenbosch force for you. Police state. So is that the end of the protest? I suppose this shows the violence of the system. #JozitoStellenbosch

Police dodge rocks as they move in to disperse the protesters. At least four were arrested.

Maya Angelou said to Oprah "When you know better, you do better. You should not be judged for the person that you were, but for the person that you're trying to be & the woman that you are now" I love THIS! You don't have to hold yourself hostage to who you used to be.
