"Anyone who has served in the Israeli Forces in Gaza since October 2023 should be considered a suspect in relation to war crimes, crimes against humanity, and the crime of genocide" -Chris Sidoti, UN Commission of Inquiry on Palestine

In my book, The Accidental Mayor, I exposed how Tony Leon's PR Firm - Resolve Communications, improperly tried to facilitate a R300m tender in 2019 for one of its clientsfrom Mashaba as Mayor of Joburg. Mashaba kicked him out and, from that moment, the DA turned on Mashaba.

John Steenhuisen’s removal as Minister by Geordin Hill-Lewis reeks of a resurgence of the laptop boys in the DA, or at least a similar lobby. You will hear terms like “the liberal centre of the party” used a lot more frequently going forward, and that’s because Tony Leon and GHL’s “chief advisor” espouses that kind of political speak. John’s removal had little to do with his mediocre performance and much more to do with a seemingly re-pivot in the party back to “its liberal core” which can mean anything at this point

Karl: Israel is a Jewish state. That’s in the charter. Do you support that? Mamdani: I’ve said time and again that I support the state of Israel as a state with equal rights. Karl: As jewish state? Mamdani: I believe that any state that privileges one religion over another is one that I can’t tell you I support, whether it be Israel or Saudi Arabia or anywhere else. And a lot of that comes back to a fundamental belief that we should all be considered equal, no matter what our faith is.

This is Hajra Amjad. She is employed by the Montreal Jewish Library. Yesterday she posted on Linked in the following: "In an era when pro-Palestine voices are amplifying across the western world, when Mamdani backed candidates win the seats and cause a "political earthquake" by defeating AIPAC endorse pro-Israel big political weights, the Zi0nist deep state is trembling with fear.... They are cracking down on free speech and bringing in laws to criminalize any criticism of Israel as anti-semitism. Isra-el does not monopolize the voice of all Jews, thinking that is an act of anti-semitism in itself...." Fire her. Our community should never be employing people who think they can define us, and hate us. FIRE HER.

Something like 40 countries have an official state religion. Israel is not one of them! In fact, that Israel defines itself as a Jewish state is not even a religious designation. That Mamdani continues to make this mistake and continues to focus on the world’s one Jewish state as a state he can’t support … I’m not sure how one can even say anymore this isn’t blatantly anti-Semitic. He continues to single out Israel for condemnation in a way he does for few other countries
