haha the post title read to me as ironic but nope SA actually being based
I can read it like that. But I also get a certain conglomeration of "BRICS Bad! Russia/China puppet!", "White people aren't safe in South Africa / Jews are only safe in Israel", given the back end of the article

South Africa has long been a vocal supporter of the Palestinian cause, with the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party often linking it to its own struggle against apartheid.
It has strongly condemned Israel’s response to the Hamas attacks and has recalled all its diplomats from the country.
On Monday, Ramaphosa denounced the “genocidal onslaught and slaughter of the people of Palestine” at a press conference with representatives of pro-Palestinian groups in Johannesburg.
White people aren't safe in South Africa
Wtf based
I meant the post title here on Hexbear, I'm sure the article is terrible
Rare ANC W

South Africa/ANC W
I'd say thow all IDF members that return into Pollsmoor prison, but since I actually have some form of humanity, unlike the IDF, I wouldn't do it. No human being deserves to go to Pollsmoor. A more normal, humane prison where they can be rehabilitated if possible, or kept there to prevent them from being a threat to society of rehabilitation is not possible, would work much better.
mine shaft
