“Actress J. Smith-Cameron wears pin in solidarity with hostages at Golden Globes
Bring Them Home movement distributes the pins at the Golden Globes as part of its effort to keep the hostages in public view.
Actress J. Smith-Cameron, known for her role in the TV series “Succession”, wore a yellow ribbon pin in solidarity with the hostages still being held in Gaza at Sunday’s Golden Globes awards ceremony.
Smith-Cameron was seen wearing the ribbon on the red carpet before the ceremony. Other seen wearing the pin included Jesse Sisgold, president of Skydance Media, and Jon Weinbach, writer of “Air,” a movie up for best comedy, reported JTA.
The report noted that, in the lead-up to the awards ceremony on Sunday night, advocates for Israeli hostages in Gaza worked to supply attendees with yellow ribbon pins to affix to their red-carpet garb.
Yellow ribbons are a longstanding symbol of readiness to welcome home prisoners or hostages. The yellow ribbons became a popular emblem of support during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, when 52 Americans were held in captivity in Tehran for 444 days.
The Bring Them Home movement, which advocates for the Israelis being held in Gaza, distributed the pins at the Golden Globes as part of its effort to keep the hostages in public view.
As of Sunday, Hamas and other terrorist organizations in Gaza are still holding 136 hostages.”
@Felix. I think I can give a partial answer to your question. Antisemitism is widespread in South Africa. Obviously it was introduced into South Africa by the white settllers and colomial administrators. But through them it has become a widespread prejudice among all classes and ethnicities in South Africa. populationr. The main reason why South Africa South Africa’s brought false accusations against Israel before the international court of Justice, is because people with an anti-Jewish bias throughout the world see the State of Israel as the embodiment of the Jewish people. Therefore people who hate Jews hate the state of Israel and wish to harm it.
eWhy? The same reasons antisemitism is a popular hatred in so many other countries. Jew-hatred provides a simplistic explanation for all that is wrong in society, Jews have always been used as scapegoats. Corrupt and incompetent rulers have always sought to blame the Jews for the problems that they, the corrupt and incompetant rulers have caused themselves. And South Africa’s rukers have been corrupt and incompetent for many years. Instead of the abolition of apartheid and the introduction of “one person, one vote” in 1994, poverty is if anything more widespread and severe than it was under apartheid. The unemployment rate, even in official statistics which always tend to understate problems, is 37.5 percent! Among those under 25 years old it is said to be over 50 percent. Crime is totally out of control. It is unsafe to walk around or even drive a car in many neighborhoods. It is said that young men and sometimes young women as well become career criminals, because the absence of jobs often thievery is the only way young people can “earn” a living pay their rent, etc.
Both the Christian religion and Islam have many believers in South Africa. As many historians have pointed out, both of these faiths have a “Jewish problem.” Anti-Jewish statements Jews are found in the sacred scriptures of both faiths, as well as in some later writings thatl are considered authoritative by believers. Wherever these faiths go, antisemitism follows.
Perhaps another reason why many South Africans are antisemitic is that the de Beers corporation , which owned most of the countries” diamond mines for generations, was owned for most of this time by a Jewish family, the Oppenheimers. In nearly every country where Jews live, there are at least a few Jews who are very wealthy, although the majority of Jews are either middle class or working class. The wealthy Jews nearly always become the focus conspiracy theories, are alleged to rule the world, cause poverty and wars, etc. I think the reason for this may be that because they are members of a “marginalized”. oppressed group, many people believe they don’t have a right to become rich. If a Jew does manage to become rich despite the discrimination they face, it must be because they have demonic powers of some sort.
To sum up, many South Africans are antisemitic for the same reasons that people in all countries that have experienced Christian or Islamic culture, government corruption, and an extreme gap between rich and poor.
And South Africa’s corrupt rulers hate the State of Israel because they see it as the embodiment of the Jewish people.
We haven’t had time to focus on … Why South Africa? Why it?
But like everything in life there are answers. They can be had.
But it all takes time.
I believe though the answer lies in the anti Marxism of Mandela.
I just have to return to it… another time
One thing though does scream out at me…they are tools of the bourgeois system!
How can South Africa bring this complaint to the ICJ? It does not have the legal “standing” to bring charges because it is not directly affected by the actions of Israel in Gaza. Also, owing to the extreme violence against whites in that country, a case could be made for “genocide” and “ethnic cleansing” against SA, as well. As has already been said, it is the International Court of Injustice.
“Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) also condemned South Africa’s genocide accusations.”

My missing comment is about THE ELDERS…It explains a lot
A comment is missing
The planet does not care about Greta’s social justice. It only cares about the laws of physics i.e. how much co2 exists in the atmosphere.
I hope you won’t ban information on that too….to Adam

There are always 2 paths to take and not 3
Accept capitalism
Socialist revolution
Nelson Mandela took the former path.
And their mascot became Arafat

Fetterman is alienating his own constituency to stand with Israel which he has done in the past though he did call for “humanitarian aid” before.

Israel must break from its own self imposed isolation.
Israel must start with Russia and Ukraine but by no means end there
So why do I say START there. Because it is an EXISTENTIALIST issue not only for Russia but for the total world
Russia can be driven by this evil into a nuclear war
That must never happen but understand that Russia is ENTIRELY the victim of this barbarity at its throat.
You can immediately see the problem which stops 3 plane loads of Israeli people of all types and social classes landing there
Purpose to relate to Russia and what it’s facing
Explain Israel’s point of view
And relate on the basis of the Holocaust and discuss how both relate on this greatest ever issue.
Would Russia do this with Israel?
It might
