Zionist Fed’s denial of truth about Israel exposed

MATHATHA Tsedu’s credentials as a principled journalist are beyond reproach. As a doyen of the craft, he has for decades fought against racism in the media and the marginalisation of black journalists.

Unafraid to speak truth to power has not been a mere cliché for Tsedu, but an expression of his relentless pursuit of justice.

On Palestine, he recently endorsed the view of the prime minister of Barbados, Mia Amir Mottley, who said that “Principle only means something when it is inconvenient to stand by it”.

Tsedu underpinned this when he wrote that South Africa’s support for Palestine was and is correct, in the context of America’s bullying and pressure to have SA drop its genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.

He wrote in his eloquent style to remind us about Trump’s views: “That the action by the upstart ‘sh*t hole’, as Trump described this country, to take Israel to the ICJ, and not only accuse it of genocide but get the court to agree, is inexcusable”.

The result of it for Trump is that “His friend Bibi Netanyahu cannot stomp around the world without first checking if he won't be arrested” And also “Israeli soldiers who participated in the genocide have found themselves having to scuttle back home to avoid arrest while holidaying in South America’. All because of South Africa.
