Just saw NAZA. If you haven’t seen it already, go and see it now. It’s deeply upsetting and it’s the best documentary film I have ever seen. Brilliant film making. It should be mandatory viewing in every high school. Fk the murderous apartheid regime and fk all those who continue to support it!
I am utterly sick of the deliberate semantic misrepresentation by our Parlamentarians of the ever worsening horrors in Gaza. This includes all members of the two major parties as well as most Independents. /1
