Gravely concerned by reports #Israel cabinet in April approved 34 new settlements in occupied West Bank – the highest number ever approved at one time. This continues the sharp upward trend of unlawful settlement building that extends & consolidates Israel's annexation of occupied Palestinian territory. Israel must immediately cease the establishment & expansion of settlements, & reverse its settlement policies by evacuating all settlers & ending the occupation of Palestinian territory.

In 2009, I walked into @StandardBankZA at Boulders Midrand with a simple plan. Save R500 every month. No touching it. No thinking about it. Just discipline on autopilot. First year at SABC as a broadcast technician. First real income. First attempt at being financially responsible. So I did what any serious saver would do. I created a system where I could forget the money even existed. Opened the account at the branch. Back when deposit slips still had authority. To activate it, they told me to deposit cash at the ATM. Fair enough. I deposited the money into what I believed was my brand new savings account. Got my paperwork. Felt official. Felt grown. Then I automated everything. Monthly transfers from FNB. No emotions. Just consistency. Four or five months later, curiosity got the better of me. I went back to the same branch to check my progress. I expected pride. Maybe even a small internal speech about discipline. Instead, I got: “There’s no account under your name.” At first I thought they were joking. I said, “Kanjani? I opened it here. I’ve been depositing every month.” They checked again. “You only had a Mzansi account. It’s closed.” Now the story starts to feel like a prank. Because I had receipts. I had a memory. And I had money leaving my FNB account like clockwork. I tried to escalate it. Meetings were set. Or at least… supposed to be. One bank manager never showed up. On my way back from that meeting, the envelope with all my paperwork disappeared. Taxi ride. One moment it’s there. Next moment… gone. No evidence. No account. No money trail I could prove. Case closed. Not by resolution. By exhaustion

Biden's presidency was tormented by campus protests over Israel's war in Gaza and his reluctance to push back on it. They shadowed him at events Those protests have been virtually nonexistent with Trump amid the war in Iran. @Lauren_V_Egan looks into why thebulwark.com/p/the-campus-p…

Mark Bonnick, Arsenal's kit man of 22 years, was FIRED in 2024 due to public posts against the clear genocide in Palestine. Arsenal said they found his comments "there is ethnic cleansing in Gaza" provocative, and damaging the Club's reputation. Zionism. x.com/MrBlackFootbal…
