USA Africa Dialogue Series - Was Just Thinking

1.    Left to the US and Britain and some of her friends and supporters, South Africa would still be an Apartheid State, and the African National Congress (ANC), a terrorist organization.

2.    For us Africans, Armed Struggle and Popular Resistance are/were part of our history. This was the case in places like Algeria, Zimbabwe, Guinea Bissau, Kenya, Mozambique, Madagascar, and Angola.

3.    We Africans hated being colonized and subjugated and demeaned and treated as though we were/are less than humans. Why should the Palestinians tolerate what we Africans abhor?

4.    The killing in Palestine goes on -- sanctioned in the West by some of the people, governments, and institutions that frowned on the killings in Ukraine. Even the so-called mainstream media have joined in, in "celebrating" the decimation and human suffering in Palestine. The hypocrisy!

5.    When you listen to CNN and MSNBC, you'll think only innocent Israelis have been killed. The deaths, destruction, and human suffering in Palestine are almost an afterthought...not worth reporting?

6.    In any case, "Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me." - Frederick Buechner
