I am White English and I am appalled at my Country sending a British lawyer to work in the defence of what’s happening in Gaza. Shameful

As an Iraqi, I've never felt prouder in my life than when I watched these brave men and women. Rest in peace, Mr. President Nelson Mandela. You didn't just liberate South Africa; you inspired people to fight for justice, regardless of the distance that separates them. I'm so proud of you, South Africa. May Allah protect this country and its citizens.

As an American I'm ashamed that my taxes have made me an accomplice to this genocide and that I haven't done enough to convince our leaders to stop supplying Israel with the weapons being used to massacre innocent civilians in Gaza. Sending heartfelt respect and admiration to South Africa and it's people for electing leaders with the courage to do the right thing.

As a Muslim I'm ashamed on behalf of the entire Arab world for it's leaders not voicing the plight of Palestinians despite possessing all the might and resources at their disposal 😢 ( And no it's not about asking other countries to take in Palestinians but to support them in resisting the illegal and draconian occupation & opression of the apartheid Israel .

"The deputy speaker of the Knesset, Israel's parliament, has called for the erasure of Gaza Strip from the face of the Earth" Thank you South Africa, for reminding the world and those who are deliberately or are conveniently choosing to turn the blind eye, or to stay silent.

As an American citizen of the African Diaspora I do not agree with the genocide of any culture. We have seen these atrocities happen for too long. We have no right to kill others.
