The family of the 14-year-old sexual assault victim of illegal migrant Hadush Kebatu have accused the leftist Labour Party government, the British police, the UK justice system, and Chelmsford prison of failing their family and the nation by releasing the child molester back onto the streets.

The release and subsequent manhunt for the Ethiopian national descended into farcical levels of ineptitude over the weekend, with the convicted child predator reportedly having been turned away after attempting to return to prison. He then appeared in CCTV footage in a grey prison tracksuit and carrying a bag emblazoned with avocados in multiple locations across London before police finally detained him on Sunday, the whole affair having taken on a bumbling air of the absurd and widely compared to British comedy character ‘Mr Bean’ by social media users.

Yet the failures of the state to keep a migrant sex offenders secured just a month into his 12-month prison sentence pending deportation was no laughing matter for his 14-year-old victim, who was petrified after her abuser was mistakenly released.

Speaking on Sunday evening, the victim’s father said in a statement read by Epping Forrest council member Shane Yerrell that the child was finally beginning to regain some of her confidence after being sexually assaulted by Kebatu in July outside of a migrant hotel. However, he said that his apparently accidental release just five weeks after being sentenced caused her “so much stress and anxiety”.

“She feared seeing him again in the high road and him recognising her. I’m really worried for my daughter’s mental health and well-being because of this assault,” the father explained.

“This man is a real danger to young women and children and for him to be wrongly released and walking the streets freely just four months after carrying out two sexual assaults, only five weeks after being sentenced, all because of a system failure on Friday is unbelievably irresponsible,” he said.

The father added that he and his family “feel massively let down and infuriated by HMP Chelmsford, the police, the justice system and our Labour government. They have all failed. Not just us as a family, but they have failed everyone in the country.”

The victim’s father went on to reveal that he was first informed that his daughter’s abuser had been released after being contacted by a reporter rather than authorities and said that he was “greeted with hostility and disregard” when he contacted the Chelmsford prison seeking answers.

“I really hope that nobody else’s child has to experience what my daughter has,” he said. “I hope he will be deported immediately, as the longer he was roaming the streets, the more threat he posed to women and children of this country.”

Although the sensational government failures involved in the release of Kebatu and the ensuing manhunt captivated the nation, it is apparently not unheard of for prisons to release inmates “in error” in Britain.

According to His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service, 262 prisoners were released by mistake between April 2024 and March 2025 in England and Wales, the BBC reported. This represented over a 127 per cent increase over the previous year, when 115 prisoners were released in error.

Despite the massive increase occurring under the left-wing Labour Party government, which has previously faced criticism for intentionally releasing offenders early to clear jail space, Deputy PM David Lammy attempted to blame the Conservative Party, saying that Labour “inherited a system that was collapsing”.

Lammy said that the government intends to deport Kebatu as soon as this week, as it had intended to do prior to his accidental release while on his way to a removal centre. The government has also pledged to launch an inquiry into the failures that precipitated the release of the child molesting migrant.

The case, which initially sparked a wave of anti-migrant hotel protests throughout England and Wales over the summer, has seemingly reignited the movement, with protests erupting again outside of the Bell Hotel in Epping where Kebatu was being housed at the time of the assault.

While the protests and pressure from local politicians had initially succeeded in obtaining a legal injunction to shut down the hotel as a migrant centre, the Labour government later won on appeal to keep it operational, after arguing that the right of asylum seekers to be housed at taxpayer expense should outweigh local concerns.

Podcast King Joe Rogan is bucking the anti-Christian left and says that he enjoys church, admires Christ, and praises the benefits of Christianity.

Speaking on his Joe Rogan Experience podcast with Triggernometry hosts Francis Foster and Konstantin Kisin, Rogan agreed that religion can bring moral clarity and inner peace.

Rogan said he appreciates religion because it helps make people lives better.

“They’re trying to be a better person, and they’re trying to — I mean for me at least, the place that I go to — they, you know, they read and analyze passages in the Bible. I’m really interested in what these people were trying to say because I don’t think it’s nothing.”

He went on to say that atheists try to “dismiss” Christianity.

“There’s a lot of, like, atheists and secular people that just like to dismiss Christianity as being foolish. You know, ‘It’s just fairy tales.’ I hear that amongst, you know, self-professed intelligent people, like, ‘It’s a fairy tale,’” Rogan continued.

Rogan pointed out that we have a lot of historical and scientific proof that many of the things mentioned in the Bible were actually true, actual places, and true events. He also noted that there is historical proof of the existence of Jesus and he admires the Christian savior.

“It’s a historically documented human being,” Rogan said of Jesus. “That’s where it gets weird because there’s a there’s a universal depiction of what this human being was like. That doesn’t seem to vary that much between all the people that knew him. That gets weird.”

“Like, I don’t know if that’s true. I think there’s more to it. I think it’s history, but I think it’s a confusing history. It’s a confusing history because it was a long time ago,” Rogan said. “And it’s people telling things in an oral tradition, then writing things down in a language that you don’t understand in the context of a culture that you don’t understand. And I think there’s something to what they’re saying.”

“Christianity in particular is the most fascinating to me because there’s this one person that everybody agrees existed, that somehow or another had the best plan for how human beings should interact with each other and behave and was the best example of it and even died in a nonviolent way, like didn’t even protest, died on the cross supposedly for our sins,” Rogan explained. “Like, it’s a fascinating story.”

Rogan also said many of the Christians he has met are the happiest and kindest people he’s ever met.

President Donald Trump signed an historic peace agreement between Cambodia and Thailand, as well as trade agreements with Cambodia, Thailand, and Malaysia upon arrival in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.

Trump is visiting Malaysia to participate in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) conference in a renewed show of commitment to the region amid rising economic and military challenges from China.

Upon arrival, Trump showed a great deal of enthusiasm, joining dancers who were on hand to greet Air Force One with a local version of his “YMCA” dance, made famous in the 2020 and 2024 presidential campaigns.

The Cambodia-Thailand peace deal took center stage. Trump had brokered a ceasefire between the two nations in late July, and signed a formal peace agreement.

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahm praised Trump’s leadership in the peace effort, saying the world needed more examples of such leadership toward peace.

In addition, Trump signed separate peace deals, detailed in separate memoranda of understanding. The U.S. reached a minerals deal with Thailand, sharing investment opportunities in the minerals sector, and sharing information. Trump signed a similar deal on minerals with his Malaysian hosts. The U.S. also reached an agreement with Cambodia on reciprocal trade that will allow American goods access to Cambodian markets.

Finally, it reached a trade deal with Thailand, according to which the Asian nation will drop tariffs on 99 percent of American goods, while the U.S. will maintain a 19 percent tariff on goods from Thailand, except for specific goods exempted from tariffs, and will work with Thailand to eliminate regulations that constitute non-tariff barriers to trade. Thailand also committed to apply more rigorous labor and environmental standards, and to specific purchases of American goods, including energy, agricultural products, and aircraft.

The president’s five-day trip will include visits to Japan and South Korea, and his second meeting with Chinese premier Xi Jinping, which will be watched closely. The meeting may be the last chance for a trade deal before the U.S. Supreme Court hears a challenge to Trump’s emergency tariffs — one likely to succeed.

In the shadow of Wichita’s endless plains, where the wind still carries whispers of old fears, Dennis Rader’s crimes linger like a stain that no amount of time can bleach. As someone who came of age in Wichita during the 1970s, near the quiet streets of the Plainview neighborhood, I remember the dread that settled over our neighborhood like fog off the Arkansas River.

It wasn’t just the headlines — the Otero family slaughtered in their home, or the women vanishing from church parking lots. It was the way parents double-checked locks at dusk, how kids like me were warned never to linger after dark, and the unspoken certainty that evil didn’t announce itself with horns and fangs. It hid in plain sight, in the man who coached Little League or mowed his lawn on Saturdays. Rader, the BTK killer, embodied that terror: 10 lives snuffed out between 1974 and 1991, each one a calculated cruelty he later confessed to with chilling detachment.

The Mass Murderer You Might Have Never Heard of—Alleged Killer of 18 Ignored by Corrupt Media

Now, nearly two decades after his capture, his daughter Kerri Rawson has delivered a verdict more damning than any courtroom’s. In a raw prison confrontation last year, captured in the new Netflix documentary My Father, the BTK Killer, Rawson, 46, and a mother herself, faced the frail shell of the man who once pushed her on swings. What began as a tearful reunion, with Rader wheeled in and weeping like a prodigal returned, unraveled into something uglier. 

Pressed on unsolved cases and a journal entry that hinted at unspeakable violations against her as a child, he flipped the script: denials, deflections, accusations that she was the fame-hungry one. “That was just a fantasy,” he claimed, as if words on a page could erase the rot beneath. Rawson’s response was no scripted outburst but a lifetime’s fury unleashed. 

She called him subhuman — a psychopath whose narcissism erased any flicker of the father she once knew. And in that moment, she was right. Not in some hyperbolic sense, but precisely: Rader’s ability to compartmentalize, to play the church elder by day and the tormentor by night, reveals a void where conscience should be. He didn’t just kill strangers; he poisoned his own bloodline, leaving Rawson to sift through a childhood of picnics and puzzles for signs of the abyss. 

Her estrangement from him — and now her mother and brother — speaks to the collateral damage of such monsters. Yet there’s steel in her choice. By cutting ties, she reclaims agency, turning victimhood into advocacy for others burdened by a loved one’s crimes. Wichita’s scars from the 70s taught us vigilance, but Rawson’s story sharpens a harder lesson: Some bonds demand severing, not mending. Forgiveness has its saints — witness the Lafferty case, where a daughter chose grace over grudge — but Rader offers none worth the cost.

His unyielding lies in that cell confirm it: Humanity isn’t owed to those who forfeit it. For survivors like Rawson and the families still haunted by BTK’s shadow, the real victory lies in naming the evil and walking away. In my hometown, which once held its breath, that’s not just closure. It’s courage.

BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg’s Kamala Harris interview is a window not just into how bad Harris is as a political candidate, but how bad the American liberal media has been at their job, i.e.,  questioning her on important issues. 

As we reported on Friday, Kuenssberg got Harris to drop some hints that she might run in the future and then nailed her on how bad her chances reportedly were — that she was behind The Rock in the betting odds. 

READ MORE: Kamala Drops Hint About 2028 in Interview, but What the Interviewer Says About Her Chances Is Hilarious

That was pretty hilarious. But that wasn’t all. 

Kuenssberg dared to put THE question to Harris — the “Joe Biden cognitive decline” question. 

Kuenssberg noted that Biden’s issues had been the subject of “months of speculation around the world” and that they’d “asked Nancy Pelosi what was going wrong.” But she said Biden didn’t raise his frailty with Harris, and she didn’t raise it with him. “That’s extraordinary to read in your account,” Kuenssberg said to Harris. 

Kamala’s response was awful. 

She said there was a “serious difference between capacity to be president of the United States and the capacity to run for president of the United States” and that her concern was about “his ability, with the level of endurance, energy that it requires, especially running against now the current president,” but that she was never questioning Biden’s capacity to occupy the highest position in the land.  

Wait, what? Is she kidding? Actually doing the job is even more involved than running for it. Look at what President Donald Trump has been doing in the last day in Malaysia, not to mention everything he’s done in the past several months. He hit the ground running and hasn’t stopped.

Her answer doesn’t even make any sense. Well, unless you’re talking about other people running things behind the scenes for Biden at the White House. The fact that she says that reveals she doesn’t grasp the requirements of the office for which she ran. Unless she wants to tell us more about what was going on at the White House and what people did for Biden? 

Kuennsberg nailed her on that.

“Isn’t it a strange message to the public to say, you know what you need to be tougher and more able to run a political campaign than actually to be the person behind the desk in the Oval Office, to be the person making decisions in the Situation Room. So did you just not think it was that bad or did you feel you just couldn’t raise it?

Exactly! 

But again, Harris’ answer was empty. She continued to say she was concerned about Biden running. 

She says she does reflect now on whether she should have had a conversation with Biden about not running because of what it would require. But she said she wondered if it would have been an “effective and productive conversation,” given what could appear as her “self-interest.” 

But that’s exactly what the job entails: making hard decisions and pushing things. We see Trump doing it every day. Kamala can’t even put that basic question to Joe Biden? And she thinks now that she’s not “done” yet and might run in the future? Why would anyone vote for her when she doesn’t seem to have the basic tools for the job? And she doesn’t get what she’s said in that answer: that Biden really wouldn’t have trusted that coming from her.

Indiana state Sen. Liz Brown spoke about the importance of redistricting efforts in the state during an interview on Breitbart News Saturday, and pointed out that conservative and Republican voices “are not being heard” in Washington, D.C.

While speaking with Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle, Brown was asked why Indiana needed to do redistricting and where things stood on the plan for redistricting.

“We need to realize that this is a bigger issue than just what representatives we’re sending out of the state of Indiana, because they are the nation’s representatives of the 435 that go to D.C. to represent us in Congress,” Brown said.

“The numbers are skewed. When you look at states like Massachusetts, Connecticut, 60 – 40 D’s to R’s, zero Republicans. Indiana, 60 – 40 R’s to D’s, we were sending two Democrats. So, whose voices are not being heard? Conservatives, Republican voices are not being heard in D.C. I think we’ve been asleep at the wheel,” Brown added.

Brown went on to explain that “legally” lawmakers in Indiana are unable to do anything until Indiana Gov. Mike Braun (R) calls them back in for a special session.

“Everyone in the process has been very respectful about it, and patient,” Brown said, adding that her understanding was that the 70 Republican representatives in Indiana’s House were “ready to go.”

“It’s just a matter of us getting the votes in the Senate, and I’m confident when the bill’s on the floor, that it’s going to pass,” Brown said.

Brown went on to explain how once the Indiana House and Senate passes the bill for redistricting in the state, Braun will sign it and lawmakers can also “put an emergency act inside the bill so that [it] becomes effective immediately.”

“It’s not complicated, it’s just a matter of the governor using the power he has to call us back, and us getting down there — and that takes some time…….to figure out, because we are part-time legislators, so people have jobs and obligations and things like that.”

Former Vice President Kamala Harris told a British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) show this weekend that she may run for the presidency again in 2028.

“I am not done. I have lived my entire career as a life of service, and it’s in my bones,” she told the BBC during an interview to be aired on “Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.”

In keeping with the possibility of another try at the presidency, Harris dismissed polls that put her as an also-ran behind California Gov. Gavin Newsom as the Democratic nominee in the next presidential election.

“If I listened to polls, I would have not run for my first office, or my second office — and I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here,” she told the network.

Newsweek reported a few of the latest surveys:

A Politico-Citrin Center-Possibility Lab survey, conducted between July 31 and August 11, put California Governor Gavin Newsom ahead with 25 percent support among Democrats and independents, compared to Harris’ 19 percent.

Analysis on Friday by pollster Lakshya Jain showed that Harris has one of the highest unfavorability ratings among senior Democrats, with 54 percent saying they have a somewhat or very unfavorable view of her.

In the interview, Harris replayed her 2024 campaign message criticizing President Donald Trump as an authoritarian, adding some new shots based on his ten months in office.

She brought up the suspension of late night ABC host Jimmy Kimmel for lying about Charlie Kirk’s murder, placing the host’s layoff at Trump’s feet, though no evidence has emerged to date that the president was involved in ABC’s decision.

“You look at what has happened in terms of how he has weaponized, for example, federal agencies going around after political satirists…” she told the Sunday show. “His skin is so thin he couldn’t endure criticism from a joke, and attempted to shut down an entire media organization in the process.”

“He said he would weaponize the Department of Justice,” she also claimed.  “And he has done exactly that.”

Harris also slammed business leaders and others for too easily supporting Trump and agreeing to his wishes.

She told the network, “There are many… that have capitulated since day one, who are bending the knee at the foot of a tyrant, I believe for many reasons, including they want to be next to power, because they want to perhaps have a merger approved or avoid an investigation.

When the British network asked for a response to Harris’s comments about the president, a White House spokesperson dismissed former vice president’s remarks

“When Kamala Harris lost the election in a landslide, she should’ve taken the hint — the American people don’t care about her absurd lies,” spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told the network.

“Or maybe she did take the hint and that’s why she’s continuing to air her grievances to foreign publications.”

Sanae Takaichi has been elected as Japan’s prime minister after her Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) managed to form a coalition with the Japan Innovation Party. Coincidentally, she is the first woman in Japan’s history to hold this office. This comes after Takaichi was elected as the LDP’s leader earlier this month, following the LDP’s historic defeat in the upper house election and Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s decision to resign due to mounting pressure.

Prime Minister Takaichi—a Japan First conservative whose ideology draws inspiration from former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, her mentor, and former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, “Iron Lady”—is a much-needed departure from the weak leadership of Japan’s last three prime ministers (Ishiba, Kishida, and Suga).

Her election is a major win for the U.S.-Japan alliance and the Asia-Pacific’s security, placing China at a strategic disadvantage amid its escalating military activity and gray zone operations throughout the region.

Instead of sending a congratulatory message, Beijing urged Tokyo to respect “political commitments” relating to history and Taiwan. These remarks reflect the Chinese government’s unease with Takaichi’s stances.

Contrasting Ishiba’s soft approach to China, which the CCP took advantage of with its increased military incursions into Japanese territory and aggressive cyberattacks, Takaichi, a China hawk, has pledged to strengthen and deepen the U.S.-Japan alliance. It is expected that her national security strategy will mirror that of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. 

She, like Abe, supports continuing to move Japan’s military away from pacifism in favor of deterrence, primarily motivated by the threat that China poses. This includes her plan to increase military spending to two percent of GDP in the current fiscal year (instead of 2027) and her push to revise Article 9 of Japan’s Constitution, which would allow Tokyo to maintain traditional, war-fighting armed forces.

These actions are intended to build a Japanese defense strategy that is more self-reliant and lethal. The Trump administration will undoubtedly welcome this, as it aligns with Washington’s current emphasis on allied burden-sharing.

In line with Washington’s vision of regional security, Takaichi will continue, if not intensify, Japan’s security posture vis-à-vis Abe’s “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” concept that foregrounds freedom of navigation, the rule of law, peace and stability, and economic prosperity. Expect to see an emphasis on strengthening security ties with democratic partners in the region.

A historic defense pact between Japan and the Philippines went into effect in September, which allows for Japanese troops to deploy to the Philippines. Given China’s increasingly assertive military actions in the South China Sea and its expanding footprint across Oceania, it is highly probable that Takaichi will seek to deepen cooperation with Manila as a means of further deterring Beijing.

Also like Abe, Takaichi is a staunch supporter of Taiwan and views the island as fundamental to Japan’s security. She has referred to Taiwan as a valued friend and partner, and earlier this year, while visiting Taipei, she called on Japan, Taiwan, and other Asian democracies to form a quasi-security alliance. This is the type of clarity that the Trump administration has been seeking from allies in the Asia-Pacific in relation to a potential war over Taiwan—a question that former Prime Minister Ishiba refused to answer.

How the Japanese prime minister will approach South Korea remains an open question. Some analysts have suggested that she will take a measured approach, working with Seoul despite long-standing differences and disputes.

It is also possible that South Korean President Lee Jae Myung’s pro-China, pro-North Korea policies—as well as his anti-Japanese statements, ranging from labeling Japan as an enemy country to opposing joint U.S.-South Korea-Japan military exercises—will act as irritants to South Korea-Japan relations under the Takaichi administration. Perhaps Takaichi will exert pressure on Lee—good news for South Korea’s patriots and American security interests. History shows that true Japanese conservatives and South Korean leftists have fared like oil and water.

Trump and Takaichi are set to meet in Japan early next week, ahead of the APEC summit in South Korea. Defense will be at the top of the agenda. 

Contrary to the media’s claims, these two leaders share a vision when it comes to security. Both the Trump administration and Prime Minister Takaichi have expressed enthusiasm in working with one another.

To remain in power, Takaichi will have to maintain a coalition during a delicate moment in Japanese politics, which may require her to moderate her positions in certain areas. She will also have to effectively address lingering economic issues, such as rising living costs and stagnant wages. If she is able to do these things—aside from addressing Japanese security concerns—Takaichi will outlast her three immediate predecessors’ tenures.

Nevertheless, Takaichi assumed office with a higher approval rating than the initial ratings of the last two prime ministers and with strong support from world leaders. I look forward to the U.S.-Japan alliance being taken to new heights at such a critical time.

Oops! Canada may have thought they were in the clear after Friday’s fracas over Ontario’s provincial government broadcasting an ad featuring a deceptively edited speech by President Ronald Reagan–in an failed attempt to make it sound like the former commander in chief was anti-tariffs–and issuing a limp apology from Premier Doug Ford.

As my colleague Katie Jerkovich wrote, the Reagan Presidential Library did not mince words – saying they may file a lawsuit – and rightly invited viewers to visit their YouTube channel to get the straight dope from the Gipper:

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute…hit back and said the ad had misrepresented Reagan’s speech and was edited without permission.

…

“The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter,” it added. “We encourage you to watch President Reagan’s unedited video on our YouTube channel.”

Jerkovich also shared Ontario’s ad, so readers can make up their own minds on the situation:

Premier Ford stated that he would get the ad pulled from television stations–but not until Monday:

In response, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced that his province would pause the ads on Monday in hopes that trade talks would resume after speaking with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

President Trump, however, tore into the move in a post on his Truth Social account, writing in the first one: 

The Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement which is fake, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about Tariffs. The ad was for $75,000,000.

They only did this to interfere with the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court and other courts. Tariffs are very important to National Security and economy of the U.S.A. Based on their egregious behavior, all trade negotiations with Canada are hereby terminated. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT.

SEE: Trump-Canada Love Story Over After Fake Reagan Ad

The love affair between our two nations had started to cool off, in other words. And there’s just one problem with the Canadian politician vowing to take the ad off-line on Monday. Friday night marked the start of the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays. More on that in a moment.

Here’s one other Truth Social post from the president on Friday, which has now become relevant in light of Saturday’s update:

Also in the mix, possibly, is the not-so-friendly political jabs aimed at Pres. Trump ahead of Friday’s game time in this truly cringe video starring Ford and Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom on their “friendly wager”:

Here’s where the other shoe dropped, readers. It didn’t escape President Trump’s notice that Canada’s government allowed the ad of Reagan’s altered speech to air in prime time during Game 1 of the World Series.

Trump is not pleased, to say the least. Now, there are consequences. Guess who gets to pay another 10 percent in tariffs?`

“Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan’s Speech on Tariffs,” Trump wrote. “The Reagan Foundation said that they, ‘created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address,’ and ‘did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter.’

“The sole purpose of this FRAUD,” he added, “was Canada’s hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their ‘rescue’ on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States. Now the United States is able to defend itself against high and overbearing Canadian Tariffs (and those from the rest of the World as well!). Ronald Reagan LOVED Tariffs for purposes of National Security and the Economy, but Canada said he didn’t!” 

“Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD,” Trump continued. “Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

It’s lip service to take the ad off the air days later, when the damage is already done. And what an audience to reach during one of America’s most cherished sporting event every year; the goal was to propagandize Americans – and possibly – our nation’s legal system in the midst of ongoing suits filed against the administration. Why else would they leave it on the World Series?

That’s quite a sad way to show goodwill and good sportsmanship, Canucks. 

Anti-Israel activists in South Africa are planning protests at a local Holocaust museum to demand that it recognize the recent Gaza war as a “genocide,” comparable to the Nazi murder of six million Jews.

The Jerusalem Post reported Monday:

South African anti-Israel groups are set to protest at the Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Centre (JHGC) on Monday and Friday to demand the museum recognize the situation in Gaza as a genocide and adopt Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions policies.

Palestine Solidarity Campaign Gauteng shared an advertisement for the protest on Thursday, asserting that the JHGC was engaging in genocide denialism and that its “silence” was complicity.

“It is an injustice and insult to all victims of genocide that the Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Centre has remained silent on the genocide being committed against Palestinians,” PSC said in a collaborative Instagram post with South African Jews for a Free Palestine, Palestine Solidarity Alliance, and South African BDS Coalition.

Unlike the Holocaust, in which Nazi Germany targeted Jews for complete destruction, Israel’s war in Gaza was waged in self-defense after an invasion by Hamas terrorists who had clear genocidal intent themselves.

Israel lacked any intent for genocide, and — as military expert John Spencer observed — was relieved when the war was over and the hostages were returned, the opposite of what would have been a genocidal agenda.

After the ceasefire began earlier this month, some pro-Palestinian activists began referring to Gazans as “holocaust survivors,” prompting both outrage and mockery.

South Africa has accused Israel of “genocide” at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), and is refusing to abandon the case, even at war’s end.
