On Tuesday morning, Amad posted two images of himself carrying a rifle, on his X profile, with the caption: "We stand with Hamas. Hamas stands with us, together we are Palestin and Palestin will be free. With our souls, with our blood, we will conquer Al AQSA (sic)."

By the afternoon Amad appeared to have removed the post.

Defending his post, Amad added: "Seeing a silent picture incites a reaction depending on what lenses you are wearing. One is able to make a determination of violence (sic)."

"… I hope you can determine if the rifle is a toy or not since it's okay for the selected public to see violence in the picture of a protest(ing) person. People should not be told how to protest in South Africa."

When asked about ownership of the weapon and whether his post might incite violence, Amad instead declared his support for Palestine and Hamas.

He called on people who stand for the liberation of Palestine to protect themselves against those inciting violence against them.

"We do not condone violence. We will never condone violence. We understand that we have an obligation to continue the fight against apartheid. When political parties in South Africa openly declared war against Hamas, that was never interpreted as violence," he said.

In April this year, Amad resigned from the mayoral position hours before a planned motion of no confidence could be tabled against him.

An slowpoke still with the slave mentality. Hamas is a terrorist organization that intentionally provoked Israel. Hamas is not fighting for Palestine but rather fighting against Palestine and the co-existence of the two States.

You must be a nutter if you think Israel or the Jews give a toss about what south Africa think of them. That would be Israel scraping the barrel. There are better people to worry about, not wafflers on the net.

By the way do you have a clue what an apartheid state really means or do you just love chucking the word around!
It's funny you are asking someone about what Apartheid means?
Pray,tell us what Apartheid means and how the Israelis treatment of non Jews in their midst is any different?

Lol see d.umb post - you didn't "allow" apartheid in SA but cheering it on in Palestine. You don't even understand the apartheid you "didn't allow" in SA hence you would know why South Africans are triggered by the situation in Gaza.

I'm no Mr. Understand it, but I feel the pain the SA people are going through.....
They did suffer and are still mentally suffering Apartheid.

I do like them as a people, but it's the way of the world.
They should choose sides carefully.....
World Politics no be Zulu land matters...it goes quite deep.
They should have the balls to confront GB, Netherlands, Indians and co who have subjected them to this

Israel actually cares. As we speak SA parliament is voting on whether the Israeli embassy in Pretoria should be closed and ambassador asked to leave. Thats why Israel called him home before the vote to avoid the embarrassment - they know SA parliament will vote to cut ties with Israel.

Israel is an apartheid government and can also describes as terror State that segregated the Arabs that are Israeli citizen, giving preferential treatment for their citizens and molesting, persecuting, extra judicial killing, deprivation of civil law for prosecution to Palestinians suspects.

Israeli is devilish State backing by the West, Ottoman ruled over Muslims, Jews and Christians for more than two hundred years, there's no clash between Jews, Muslims and Christians.

HAMAS too should try to submit for genuine negotiation that'll lead to the independent of Palestine by acknowledging existence of independent State of Israel.

The judge that will judge Netanyahu's corruption case is an arab israeli. You are ignorant

Your white worshipping bible brainwashed IQ🇳🇬💩 is even lower because you lack knowledge of modern geopolitical dynamics within the Middle East but dare call others f.ools.

Is it not the US that funds the Egyptian army? So Egypt has its hands tied.

Were US/Saudi partnerships not signed during the Trump era to bring Saudi back into the fold from decades of isolation? So Saudi hands tied.

Is Saudi not counteracting the influence of Iran in the Middle East & as Iran funds Hamas and Hezbollah? So Israel is the better devil in the eyes of the Saudis.

SA is the only one of those countries you mentioned that has liberated itself from American imperialism hence its able to speak out🇿🇦🏆

South Africa just want attention forgetting it will take less than hour to be consumed by Isreal if Nettanyahu start thinking about SA
WannaHowzit:
President Cyril Ramaphosa has urged South Africans to guard against the Israel-Palestine conflict turning South Africans against each other.

Ramaphosa made the remarks in his weekly newsletter “From the Desk of the President” on Monday.

The president said the conflict between Israel and Palestine has long been a “polarising conflict” that has deepened divisions in societies and communities way beyond the Middle East.

Ramaphosa said the conflict in Gaza called for solidarity, tolerance and dialogue.

“No matter how strong our views on this matter, we must guard against this conflict turning us against each other as South Africans.

“Our Constitution protects everyone’s right to freedom of opinion and expression, to freedom of association and to demonstrate … There is no place in South Africa for violence or threats of violence against those who hold contrary views. Nor is there any place for any form of prejudice, racism or chauvinism.”

Ramaphosa also dismissed a report suggesting that government is ‘encouraging pogroms’ (organised massacre) against the South African Jewish community.

Sometimes I wonder what manner of mentality we have as Africans. We are too emotional for our own good. You see Nigerians on NL cussing themselves out over Russia-Ukrainae war and Now Hamas-Israel? Like these two countries give a fuq about us or what? Can you imagine what this SA dude is doing, like Hamas who uses their own daughters as shields would hesitate to blow his black ass up?

I don't get it, why do we love those who oppress us so much? All these countries hate black people and call us names yet we vehemently decide to associate ourselves with them and support their rights. My conclusion is that so much of our history has been erased due to our inability to write them down coupled with the destruction of that culture by whites and recolonization by Western culture that we are psychically confused about who we really are. That manifested in the urge to BELONG to any and all ideology because we have lost so much of what used to be ours.

N.B: Don't get me started on religion. That's the most controlling force on this planet and the fact that people don't realize this baffle dafuq outta me. How do you kill others (created by the same God) because they don't have same faith as you? How do you defend a God who supposedly create the whole universe and more, by killing those who according to you, defiled his name? What kind of God asks you to go out and kill others who he created in his own image? The list goes on and on and I'm tired that this singular movement called religion is so ingrained in us that no one is even willing to sit down and think for once that, " am I even doing the right thing"?


You echoed my mind succinctly. I am totally in agreement. I don't give a rat ass about people who don't care about me or my country!
