Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

On Thursday, a plane carrying 153 Palestinians from Gaza landed at South Africa's OR Tambo International Airport, but the plane was held on the tarmac for around 12 hours, with passengers not allowed to disembark - triggering confusion and anger against local authorities.

Within hours, however, activists and South African authorities discovered several irregularities in the way the Palestinians' travel had been organised by a body called Al-Majd Europe.

Activists found that not only had the South African government been unaware of their arrival, but the evacuees themselves were not in possession of any documentation or paperwork to assist with their processing in the country.

I was under the impression that it has been public knowledge for a while now that both Israel and the USA did this. But hey, the more accusations the better.
