Protip: Hamas trying to hide from Mossad agents.
> One of the Palestinians who spoke to local eNCA TV expressed his relief to be in South Africa, describing it as a country of „peace, laws and justice“.
He’s in for a bit of a surprise
>received approval from a third country to receive them.“ It did not specify the country.
>According to the Palestinian embassy in South Africa, the group left Israel’s Ramon Airport and flew to the country via the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, „without any prior note or coordination“.
That’s interesting to say the least. But also exposes some of the trouble with charter planes not following flight paths & landing permits.
You wanted to support the palestinian people, did you just want facebook likes or to actually do something?
What rational person would want to prevent Gazans who actually want to leave Gaza from immigrating elsewhere?
Isn’t South Africa the same country with a horrible xenophobia problem against Nigerians, other Africans, and South Asian people?
My money would be on Mossad flying out collaborators that know too much. They’ll suffer strange accidents in the near future
A statement from the embassy said *“an unregistered and misleading organization [had] exploited the tragic humanitarian conditions of our people in Gaza, deceived families, collected money from them, and facilitated their travel in an irregular and irresponsible manner“.*
Obviously too early to suss out the actual facts of the matter, however if there is some truth to this statement, I can easily imagine an opportunistic NGO kludging together this unorthodox refugee “rescue” flight on the premise that SA has publicly expressed strong support for Gaza, while it is also defending against trumped-up claims of its own purported internal genocide. The NGO may well have banked on the likelihood of international coverage of this “mysterious” flight, with SA’s official response in the spotlight. They went for it, taking full advantage of the tensions and sensitivities that exist between a rock and a hard place, and maybe asking for SA’s forgiveness after the fact and after they’ve pocketed referenced payments by the refugees (which adds an additional layer of suspicion about who these passengers are).
President Ramaphosa’s response was measured, diplomatic, and compassionate. *“We cannot turn them back . . . Even though they do not have the necessary documents and papers, these are people from a strife-torn, a war-torn country.“*
South Africa wins the international optics, the passengers win their escape, the as yet unconfirmed for-profit NGO wins their gamble with a payday premised on their “good charitable works” now publicly broadcasted to anyone who has the financial means to buy onto any future flights out of Gaza to — ?
I think this is going to be an interesting tale once unraveled.
