New review time (text and video) as I pop the very affordable Edifier NeoBuds Pro 2 ANC buds into my ears. They promise quality ANC for much, much less... but do they deliver?
Informative, moving, galvanising Palestinian Solidarity Campaign (#PSC) event here in Eastbourne last night. In a packed room of over 100 old and young, we heard Yara Hawari’s brilliant analysis from West Bank and Andrew Feinstein powerfully talk about apartheid and the pivotal, corrupting influence of the global arms trade on the world order and Western leaders.
As Yara said: “this is a moment of clarity”.
Wonderful to have this moment together, with your neighbours. #Gaza 1/6
#PSC#Gaza 2/6 It was particularly moving to hear Feinstein talk about his work with Nelson Mandela in the #ANC and all his magnanimous wisdom (I miss Mandela so much, and a world with Mandela in it). And to be reminded of Mandela’s words when he was released from prison in 1990:
“We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians”
Zumas Bilanz als Staatspräsident war verheerend. Doch das zählt für viele Südafrikaner nicht mehr. Ihre Unzufriedenheit könnte ihm zu einem Comeback verhelfen. Von S. Ueberbach.
🇬🇧 I'm just walking past a busy street for the first time in years without #AirPodsPro with #ANC, and in regular #AirPods, and I have to admit I can hear almost nothing the podcast host is saying... #ANC4Life!!!
🇵🇱 Właśnie idę obok ruchliwej ulicy pierwszy raz od lat bez #AirPodsPro z #ANC, a w zwykłych #AirPods, i muszę przyznać, że nie słyszę prawie nic co mówi prowadzący podcast… #ANC4Life!!!
#elections in #southafrica and #cycles
Where I live in #pretoria there are no operational street lights. Today I saw those guys below replacing some bulbs. We have elections coming up and the #anc is facing unprecedented political competition. We can use data on #nighttime#light density, before and after the elections, to test for a political cycle.
Südafrikas Ex-Präsident Zuma hat sich von der Regierungspartei ANC abgewendet, nun suspendiert diese ihn. Denn Zuma ruft zur Wahl einer neuen Partei auf. Wem aber schadet das mehr? Von S. Ueberbach.
This is far from the first time that meritless accusations have been leveled against Jews to distract from the crimes of others. Scapegoating has a long and bloody history which tells us the effects will be felt by many more than just those falsely accused. The impact on Jews around the world is yet to be felt.
"Hypocrisy has, it would seem, no limits when it comes to South Africa’s foreign policy. Exactly a week before the country was due to accuse Israel of genocide before the International Court of Justice on January 11th, President Cyril Ramaphosa played host to Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo, a Sudanese warlord whose Janjaweed militia and its successor are accused of genocide and war crimes in Darfur... The ANC is trying to elevate this [allegation of genocide] into an election issue, to potentially try and distract from some of the core economic issues."
South Africa’s ruling African National Congress party is far from one that stands up for international law. They have been welcoming to many regimes known for crimes against humanity, including Russia, China, Sudanese warlard Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, and even leaders of the brutally fascist Hamas terrorist group. Why then would they bring a bizarre charge of genocide against a country defending itself from attack? Why make an accusation that will almost certainly fall apart in court? 2024 is an election year, and they need to distract from the widespread corruption in the party that is causing their country to fall apart, with daily power outages, collapsing infrastructure, approaching half unemployment, and steeply rising crime.

#CAIRO — After a long journey from #Gaza, more than 100 American citizens and their families have entered #Egypt through the #RafahCrossing. Jonathan Webster, the #USEmbassy in Cairo's consul general, said some of those families are telling him they ran out of food and water during their journeys. #Israel
#SouthAfrica’s lawsuit seeking a halt to the Israeli assault on #Gaza comes after years of deteriorating relations rooted in the #ANC’s decades-long support for the #PalestinianCause and the legacy of #Israel’s close military alliance with the #apartheid regime during some of the most oppressive years of white rule. #TheHague#ICJ
