Pan-Africanists for Palestine! As Africans, we have been subjected to some of the most brutal and dehumanising forms of oppression imaginable. The revolutionaries at the forefront of the African liberation struggle stand in solidarity with the Palestinian liberation struggle. Apartheid was wrong in South Africa and so is what is happening to Palestine. Settler colonialism has no place in Africa and it has no place in Palestine. Are we right?

1400 Israelis have been killed and over 6 times as many Palestinian have now been killed including over 3000 children. But this whole war is still somehow framed by the mainstream media as Israeli self-defence.
Make it make sense

TREVOR NOAH BLASTS UK RACISTS
Trevor Noah, South African comedian and former host of the US satiric news programme, 'The Daily Show,' dismantled racist views in the United Kingdom.
In this 25 October 2022 clip, Noah started by playing a snippet from a phone-in radio programme, 'LBC,' that highlighted how many in Britain are dissatisfied that Rishi Sunak, of South Asian descent, became UK prime minister in 2022. Noah commented that the English colonised countries far away from the British Isles and governed people who didn't look like them, all of which led to a mass migration of non-white people into the United Kingdom.
For context, during the height of the British Empire, it was the largest empire the world had ever seen, covering around a quarter of Earth's land surface and ruling over 458 million people. Something the caller seemed not to be aware of or willing to conveniently ignore.

BIDEN REFUTES NUMBER OF PALESTINIANS KILLED
U.S. President Joe Biden has cast doubt over the number of Palestinians who have been killed by Israel since 7 October, despite the horrific scenes of death and destruction coming out of the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said on 25 October that more than 700 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli air strikes in 24 hours, bringing the total number of Palestinian deaths to nearly 6,000.
According to media reports, a third of hospitals in Gaza are no longer functioning due to shortages of electricity, medicine and staff, and the shortage of clean water is now critical.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt Gen Herzi Halevi stated on Monday, "We want to bring Hamas to a state of full dismantling - its leaders, its military branch, and its working mechanisms. The path is a path of unrelenting attacks, damaging Hamas everywhere and in every way."

Continued- BIDEN REFUTES NUMBER OF PALESTINIANS KILLED
However, U.S. President Joe Biden isn't so swayed by the figures being reported by the Palestinian resistance. He casts no such doubt over Israeli death figures, however.
But as the president of a country with over 30 military bases in Africa, how "confident" should Africans be in Biden's "confidence" in colonized people's ability to self-report their own condition?

OFCOM SUSPEND AFRICAN BOSS OVER ANTI-ISRAEL POST
Is this the thin line between free speech and hate speech? Zimbabwean Fadzai Madzingira has been suspended from her job at UK media watchdog OFCOM for posting 'anti-Israel' views.
Rightwing website Guido Fawkes shared screenshots of her personal instagram account where she branded Israel an apartheid state. She also liked a BLM post criticising the UK and Israel for their 'vile colonial alliance'.
Madzingira describes herself as a Black feminist and student of decolonisation. She was hired in May as an online safety supervision director at OFCOM, which is investigating her social media activity.
