Sadiq Khan has been mayor of London since 2016. Zohran Mamdani is becoming mayor of New York. Sadiq Khan is Muslim and so is Zohran Mamdani. Though Sadiq Khan was born in London, his parents arrived in England in 1958 from Pakistan. Zohran Mamdani was born in Uganda to Indian parents, and arrived (with his parents) in the United States in 1998. Sadiq Khan is a left-wing politician, and so is Zohran Mamdani. Sadiq Khan is head of the most important British city – Zohran Mamdani is about to become the head of the most important American city. These two are not the only non-European, Muslim mayors of big European or American cities. Muslims are not merely mayors of cities: they are members the Parliament of the United Kingdom, of the United States Congress; they are also top party activists in both countries. The West is undergoing a monumental change. It is becoming less white and less Christian. It is also becoming more and more left-wing.

One might say that the current process is a reversal of what happened in the 19th century and a bit later: the colonization of the Third World by the Europeans. But no. This current phenomenon is by far different. The 19th century Europeans went to the Third World countries and conquered them by force of arms or by the sheer civilizational superiority. Present day Third World conquerors are invited and welcome. They do not have a civilizational superiority. Furthermore, the colonizing Europeans were the odd ones out: they never formed any part of the societies that they ruled over and controlled. Present-day arrivals from Africa and Asia have enmeshed themselves into Western societies, speak their languages and had partly adopted the culture of the host nations. The 19th century colonizers were looked up to as vehicles or conduits of higher civilization. The arrivals from Africa or Asia are not looked up to: the host nations are either indifferent (not to say lethargic). The host nation’s intellectuals, on the one hand, are doing never-ending penance for the real or imaginary wrongs that their forefathers have done to the forefathers of the Third World arrivals.

To grasp the magnitude of the change, just think about your grandparents and imagine what would their reaction had been if they had been told that in fifty years’ time London and New York would be governed by Muslims whose ancestors hailed from India. Your grandparents would never ever have believed it, won’t you agree? That’s a fairly good test to realize the epic change that is taking place. The two mayors (just as other political figures of non-European extraction) have been elected partly by the votes of other immigrants and partly by the votes of the indigenous people. The fragmentation of Western societies is in progress.

How often do we hear about extremists in politics, especially right extremists. The message is that extremists are a negative phenomenon, that they disrupt societal peace, that without them life would be oh so nicer, more manageable, and less tense.

What are extremists? These are the individuals and groups of individuals whose political ideas diverge from the accepted ones, and they diverge as far as it is possible. There are extremists to the far right or to the far left (though the mainstream leftist media point almost exclusively to the far-right extremists). Yet, what’s wrong with there being extremists?

In a group of people there will be different opinions, and if we want to assign those opinions to different places along an imaginary axis of ideas, ranging from the most left wing to the most right wing, those opinions will obviously hold different places somewhere in between. Some of the opinions will be close to one another, others – far away from one another. It is like with the height or weight of individuals: the bulk of society will be of average height and weight; yet, there will be individuals who will diverge from the average to one or another degree.

Now, that opinions – political opinions – are different is natural, just as natural it is that individual humans have different heights and weights. If a set of objects or people is not homogeneous, it will have the average and the extremes. Apart from abstract or artificial circumstances, in real life particular objects and individual humans will always vary. You can do nothing about it unless you seek to homogenize people, which in turn is unfeasible.

So why point to extremes or extremists? Why criticize them? Why suggest a demand that they should somehow disappear or adjust themselves to the average? Quite apart from the fact that such change is not possible, if we could do away with extremists, we would end up with… extremists! How? Imagine an axis where 0 stands for the average political opinion, while -10 and +10 stand for extremist views. Even if by some magic wand we could eliminate the extreme -10 and +10, -9 and +9, we would end up with an axis stretching from -8 to +8. in such a case those -8 and +8 would become the new extreme political worldviews. What then? Then the average would demand that the new extreme views disappear from the political spectrum, thus reducing the axis to a stretch between, say, -6 and +6. But then – lo and behold! – we are facing another pair of extreme viewpoints, those of -6 and +6. the reductionist process would have to continue until we end up with the pure average i.e. 0 in our example. If that were possible to achieve, we would end up in a dead, robot-like society with no clashes of opinion. No clashes of opinion translate necessarily into no development, into stagnation, ultimately into death.

Then why keep talking about the danger of having extreme political opinions? For one thing, you cannot get rid of extreme opinions, of extreme anything, and for the other: even if you could, you would bring about death of society, of an organization, of anything in fact. It is the duality of minus and plus that electricity works, the duality of zero and one that digital systems operate on. How otherwise?

Think also about the freedom of opinion and the freedom of expression. Why call someone’s opinion extremist? Is that not supposed to denigrate it and thus to suppress it psychologically? Why not, rather than calling names, argue reasonably about the opinion that you regard as, say, extreme?

So much so that if no calamity happens, the overwhelming part of society will cling to less extreme views. It is only when disaster strikes, when governments mismanage the common good that the masses of people are drawn to extreme political views. The extremists feed on the political, economic and moral mismanagement. That’s all there is to it.

The world is managed by the powers that be – barely by the presidents or prime ministers who are, rather, frontmen. The powers that be have inundated the world with lots of ideas and terms with which they are hoping to control the populace efficiently. These ideas and terms befuddle the mind of an especially educated man who has been accustomed by the colleges and universities to look for reality in concepts rather than in reality itself. The terms, concepts and ideas are so numerous and so varied that they virtually fill the whole alphabet. They are as a rule meant to imply one thing, but in fact they serve other purposes than those declared: the usual chasm between the stated goals and the real goals. The terms and notions that sound oh so humane and lofty cover up the most down-to-earth and mundane projects. There are also terms that stem from dissidents, individuals who dare to challenge the powers that be. Such terms are either suppressed or ridiculed by the mainstream media. A genuine war of words on words! Consider a selection of these concepts, terms and ideas in alphabetic order.

A

Anti-nation, anti-male, and anti-family propaganda The three pillars of Western modern social propaganda proliferated at universities, by the mass media and the entertainment, aimed at destroying respectively the nation, the males and the family. It is quite successful.

Artificial Intelligence Objectively a new technical tool with which you can replace or enhance human mental effort. In fact a very good instrument with which you can supplant reality and bemuse people.

Asylum A deceptive word, a kind of cover-up for regular, persistent, and methodical importation of non-Europeans to Europe, practised for decades now by the ruling far-left.

B

Bank of International Settlements On the face of it a financial institution which is tasked with aiding national economies in overcoming crises or developing their countries. Very often – a financial dictate that a weak country cannot do without or bypass.

Black Europeans or African Europeans or Europeans of African Descent A contradiction in itself, a term propagated by the far-left in the European Union. A European cannot be black just as an African cannot be white.

C

Carbon print An idea that humans are the earth’s most detrimental parasites. Allegedly the manufacturing of life’s necessities translates into exuding carbon dioxide which in turn harms the mother earth (or the Pachamama).

Civil disobedience A high-minded term with which you appeal to people to rebel against their own governments. In fact, a propaganda instrument aimed at mobilizing social unrest in a country. Civil disobedience occurs in non-democratic countries; in democracies there no civil disobedience is possible because democracies do not suppress their citizens. In democracies we have far-right riots.

Climate change A term that evolved from the global warming/global cooling concept. After a period during which the managers of the world could not decide which was the threat that the planet earth (the Pachamama) was facing, they opted for a safe notion of climate change. It is a type of cult or religion. Since all men need the planet (the Pachamama) to survive, the concept of climate change and the resultant movements aiming at saving the mother earth are supposed to unite all peoples.

Climate justice A ridiculous notion of the modern left political movement. Supposedly, communities that do not cause climate change and the resultant natural calamities are exposed to climate cataclysms. Nations that are climatically unjust need to pay compensation to nations that are harmed by the former’s economic activity.

Colour revolutions A humane-sounding substitute for bloody revolutions. Very attractive because it does not call for the use of arms. Its effectiveness is not smaller than that of bloody revolutions. We have already had a velvet, orange, rose, and other colour revolutions.

Community values Apart from hate speech laws (quod vide) yet another elegant term for censorship. It is the enigmatic and mysterious community values (no censor involved!) that remove videos and texts from YouTube and other social media. The impression is made that viewers or readers confer about the posted contents and agree to remove, very often despite the fact that a given content is hugely popular.

Conspiracy theory An ingenious way of ridiculing or suppressing information or ideas that are true and as such dangerous to the powers that be.

D

Dedollarization An example of a term that is a scare-crow for some, a liberating rallying term for others. The former are scared by the fact that dedollarization will upset the applecart of the current financial system in which the West is dominant; the latter are looking forward to it just like African and Asian colonies once looked forward to the day of their independence.

Deindustrialization A shot in the foot of the Western world. In pursuit of worshipping the mother earth (the Pachamama), deindustrialization – systematically executed – has weakened the Western powers, which realized it a bit too late while being confronted with Russia over Ukraine.

Democracy A key term with which you can justify any military intervention or colour revolution or sanctions or, or, or. All these actions are undertaken in the name of defending, establishing or restoring democracy.

Demography The destiny of nations. Low birthrates and high immigration quotas lead straight to the annihilation of a nation, which is the purpose of the powers that be.

Dictator One can argue over what the term dictator stands for in perpetuity, but one things is undeniable: the use of the term dictator reveals that the user dislikes (which is mildly put) the president or prime minister whom he describes as such.

Diversity A term that is supposed to encourage immigration and mixing of races and nations and religions in the name of development and strength (hence the phrase: diversity is our strength). In fact, a tool with which nations are gradually destroyed without any hot war being waged.

E

Entertainment A powerful tool in the hands of the managers of the world, more powerful than schools and churches taken together. The ideas permeate the minds of the consumers of the cinema, music and the like, and easily reach billions of people. Once sunk in, they are almost indelible.

Environment Another powerful tool for compelling the governments of developing countries not to develop too much, too quickly. On the face of it, the term is designed to unite all races, nations and faiths in the defence of our common home – the planet earth.

Ethnic replacement The term corresponds to reality and as such gives the lie to catch phrase, Diversity is our strength. That this term reflects reality is proved by the fact that the mainstream media either do not use it or ridicule it. 

Ethnomasochism A strange psychological phenomenon that has taken hołd of the collective mind of the Western intellectuals and academia who have come to virtually dislike, despise or even hate their own cultural and historical heritage. 

F

Far Right A powerful bludgeon with which the managers of the world, i.e. the far-left, lash out against opposition. The term far right very often goes hand in hand with fascism or Nazism.

Freedom of association A mendacious term according to which individuals are granted the right to freely associate, while in fact they are forced into diversity, which is a denial of free association.

Freedom of speech Another mendacious term. Censorship is not allowed in democratic countries except… that it is allowed under another name – that of hate speech laws (quod vide).

G

Gas lighting This psychological term is commonly used by the mass media, propagandists and politicians. Gas lighting means that citizens are slowly, almost imperceptibly, being convinced that what they remember to have been is a distorted memory or that it is their perception of reality that has changed without, however, reality itself being changed.

Gender A substitution for the term sex (Latin sexus: the biological duality into masculine and feminine) introduced for the purpose of the imposition of the idea of there being more than just two sexes. Hence such derivative terms as gender equality, which is not merely the equality between men and women, but between the many other sexes or genders, or gender mainstreaming – the foisting of the gender agenda on societies. All of which serves the purpose of confusing the minds of young people and reducing the world’s population.

Genocide A term that rarely has anything to do with fact, more often – with political propaganda. A political entity accused of genocide becomes fair game: it can be sanctioned or bombed into stone age with impunity.

Globalization One of the latest ideologies that has got hold of the human mind; an idea that the world is one (global) village while races, faiths and nations are either social constructs or insignificant local colourings.

Green politics Yet another ideology supplanting the once popular red ideology of communism or the black ideology of anarchism. An idea that man is the earth’s most harmful parasite and as such should reduce his economic activity, especially when it comes to burning fossil fuels.

Grooming gangs One of those phenomena marking the collapse of the Western civilization. The existence of grooming gangs is fiercely denied by the mainstream media. Grooming gangs are formed by non-Europeans for the purpose of abducting and sexually exploiting white European girls. Viewed historically, it is a typical behaviour of conquerors who would habitually rape the women of the vanquished.

H

Hate speech laws Another – apart from community values (quod vide) – name for censorship or suppression of the freedom of speech. The renaming is supposed to make censorship palatable even for most liberal libertarians.

Historical policy A policy of rewriting history to suit the needs of the present powers that be, carried out in keeping with George Orwell’s insightful statement according to which, Who controls the past controls the future. So, for instance, according to this historical policy the Second World War was won by the Americans and the British, with no or very small participation of the Soviet Union.

Human rights Another catch-all term and a nice pretext for military and political interference. In the old good days one country invaded another because it wanted the other country’s territory or resources, which was openly stated. Today, no Western democracy is touted as an invader, but, rather, as a protector of human rights, which are allegedly threatened in the country under (imminent) attack.

Hybrid war The war that is conducted by other means than hot war. It includes trade war, psychological war, and the like. The term hybrid war enriches the war vocabulary along with such terms as hot war, cold war and proxy war (not to mention just war which is peculiar to democratic Western countries, and the term war of conquest which is, obviously, characteristic of regimes and dictatorships).

I

Immivasion An apt term combining the words immigration with invasion, thus perfectly depicting the present state of affairs in the Western world. 

Inclusiveness An idea that runs counter to the freedom of association. Inclusiveness means that all organizations, societies, groups, professions – you name it – need to be saturated with individuals of all races, beliefs, sexes or genders, persuasions, physical (dis)ability and so on, and so forth. An attempt at creating an illusion of universal fraternity and equality.

Information Information is a fancy word for misinformation or disinformation. If proliferated by a renowned broadcaster, website or newspaper, it carries the stigma of absolute truth.

Investigative journalism A strange kind of journalism. Investigation should be conducted by the police and similar state institutions. Some journalists are investigative journalists capable of digging up sensational information. The question arises how it is possible for them to access sources of classified information. Why someone individuals acting behind the scenes are willing to share sensitive information with such journalists? What does it take to become a successful investigative journalist?

J

Junta Like it is in the case of the term dictator or regime (quae vide), the use of the word junta only shows that the user of the word dislikes or hates the government that he describes as junta. The word’s task is to impress it on the minds of the consumers of information that such a government is to be despised.

K

Kyoto Protocol A powerful international scheme for worshipping the planet earth and thus cutting down on the industrial production. The imposition of the protocol on the developing countries holds them back from further development. An ingenious form of domination without have to militarily occupy a country.

L

Leak A clever way of circulating information, disinformation or misinformation (delete inappropriate). An item of information referred to as a leak attracts far more attention than the information transmitted in the usual way and is usually viewed as credible.

LGTB rights The rights of all the sixty – seventy – eighty (and rising) genders, i.e. individuals who have difficulty figuring out whether they are male or female, more male – less female, less male – more female, neither, either, both, none, etc. The LGTB rights are being advanced and foisted upon societies due to the alleged intolerance that the so-called LGTB people are suffering at the hands of the rest of society.

Loop economy An idea that economic activity can run in circles without exploiting and polluting the planet – an economic perpetual motion machine. Physics has long recognized such a machine as impossible to construct, economists have not realized it as yet.

M

Mass Media Newspapers, radio, television and the latest arrival – the internet: powerful tools for shaping minds, forming opinion and mobilizing masses for political action. Mass media filter information that comes from around the world, present it in a particular way and foist interpretation of facts with the interpretation being more important than facts themselves.

Migration A mendacious term for immigration, for influx, or inflow of aliens. The fact that the word migration is used instead of immigration exposes the real scheming of the powers that be. The same is true of the word migrant, which is mendaciously used instead of the more appropriate immigrant. 

Misandry A widely-spread attitude displayed by the Western world that elevates women to the detriment of men. Men are regarded as the source of all social ills, past and present. Accordingly, men (only white men!) are depicted in the cinema as retarded, unskilled, prone to violence, and not particularly clever. Misandry – unlike misogyny – corresponds to reality in that more and more women have been made to dislike, despise or even hate (white) men, whereas the opposite (misogyny) is for all practical purposes non-existent. 

N

Narration or narrative A word that has been making a career for decades now, a word that has replaced such words as truth or reality or objectivity. We are no longer facing truth or reality: we are facing narratives i.e. versions of reality.

Nation Building Since the term nation in the English language does not necessarily mean people related by genes, heritage, language and faith, nation building is an easy task. You forcibly split a nation into two and end up with two ‘nations’ or you naturalize an individual from one nation as a member of another and you change someone’s nationality at the stroke of a pen. A Somali can be naturalized as an American and henceforth be regarded as an American by nationality! 

Negrolatry The phenomenon of rhapsodizing, romanticizing and glamorizing the black race among the whites. Adverts in the Western world are saturated with black models while black actors impersonate white historical figures.

No-Go Zones A phenomenon typical of the late era of the Western civilization, close to its collapse. No-go zones are larger or smaller pieces of territories, typically in large cities, taken over by aliens, and wrested from the control of the host nation. The existence of no-go zones is fiercely denied by the mainstream media.

O

Opinion polls Such polls very often reflect what they ought to reflect to please the powers that be, which task is easily achievable by the appropriate formulation of questions, the interpretation of the results, selection of the pollees and – first and foremost – the psychological impact that is exerted on the population – whose members the pollees are – for a long time. Over a long period you can always shape the minds of the majority as you please.

Outsourcing It was once economically fashionable to relocate or outsource manufacturing as well as services to countries where labour was cheap. Outsourcing was dictated by greed. It did not cross the minds of the greedy American entrepreneurs that outsourcing would eventually strengthen China, a country which they would later refer to as… an enemy, but there you have it.

P

Patriarchy One of those combative words that the managers of the world use to destroy the Western civilization and its core – the family. Allegedly all social ills are grounded in patriarchy i.e. the rule of men over women.

Planned parenthood Another name for abortion and contraception. The term rings nice and scientific, imparting to the gullible the air of responsibility.

Plausible deniability A tactic utilized by governments and diplomats to arrange their activities in such a way as to always be able to do one thing and convincingly say another. Most terms of this alphabet can be employed for the tactics of plausible deniability. For instance, planned parenthood is designed to reduce population, but its appeal lies in the word planned which suggests responsibility and thoughtfulness.

Pride This word has been employed for the bellicose intentions of the alphabet sexuality activists. By means of the term they seek to associate the plus sign with the phenomena which have since time immemorial been associated with the minus sign. Pride month used to be the annual monthly celebration of the alphabet sexuality propagated by American embassies around the globe during the Joe Biden administration, flying rainbow flags (quod vide).

Proxy war A very convenient type of war where for example the United States and the European Union fight against Russia to the last Ukrainian.

Q

Quota System A strange system in an otherwise free and democratic society, a society in which no one group enjoys privileges. There are quotas for women, people of colour, gender and, and, and. We can choose our representatives, and at the same time we cannot because the quota assigns seats, votes, positions to selected categories of people.

R

Racism A feeling of supremacy that one race exhibits vis-a-vis other races. According to Western intellectuals, it is only the white race which can be and usually is racist. That is why white nations are being saturated with other races: the process is supposed to suppress the racism among whites. That is also why other races are not being saturated with the representatives of the white race because the other races are not and cannot be – by definition – racist.

Rainbow flag A symbol hijacked from the Bible where it reflects the union between God and his people. The rainbow flag is a rallying sign for individuals who struggle with figuring out whether they are men or women, neither or either or both. Rainbow flags used to be flown from American embassies around the world during the so-called pride month at the time of the Biden administration.

Regime Just like the word dictator the term regime reveals all about the one who uses this term and nothing about the one to whom this term is applied. So, regime means a government that is disliked or hated by the user of the word. Hence: regime change.

S

Sanctions The most-used weapon of Western democracies against disobedient nations. Some nations have been suffering under sanctions for years. The umpteen packages of sanctions against Russia are either ridiculous or pathetic – have your pick.

Social construct One of the latest brainchildren of the far-left intellectuals who are currently running the world. The Social construct concept explains away the existence of human races as… a pure illusion. In other words, there are no real human races: the blackness or whiteness of skin, for instance, is not a biological fact but an image/idea that our collective (social) brain has constructed.

Social justice A word from the vocabulary of the left. It appears there is justice and another kind of justice which is social justice, to say nothing of climate justice (quod vide).

Soft power It was observed long ago that the pen is mightier than the sword, hence the concept of soft power, i.e. the impact that lobbies, the media, money, awards and the like have on people in positions of power.

Sustainability or Sustainable development As said under loophole economy it is another word for the concept of the perpetual motion machine. Sustainability is a term that most scientists and politicians genuflect to.

T

Tariff policy Like sanctions is tariff policy a favourite tool employed by the West in pursuing political aims. Such policy often backfires: President Donald Trump’s recent visit to China is a mark of backing away from imposing the tariffs against the Middle Kingdom in face of the Chinese retaliatory steps.

Tattoo A mark (offensive to good taste) of the atavism of European culture, a wide-spread phenomenon that is accompanied by such other instances of atavism as tattered trousers. Pony tails worn by men are a sign of effeminacy.

Think tank Gatherings of sophisticated individuals whose task it is to elaborate policies and ideas that will advance the interests of the managers of the world.

U

United Nations A lie in the very name. It is not the nations of the world that are united in this organization but states as political entities (supposedly sovereign). States may comprise more than one nation (India) while one nation may be split between two or more states (Koreans in North and South Korea, Germans in Germany and Austria). Spanish-speaking ‘nations’ have quite a number of representatives in the UN (Spain, Argentina, Mexico, Chile…), while hundreds of other nations (Kurds, Tibetans) have none. UN’s daughter organizations like UNESCO, UNICEF, UN Peace Keeping Forces, and especially WHO, are political, cultural and medical weapons in the hands of the powers that be.

V

Victimhood A relatively new historical phenomenon: rather than boast about your own victories, you boast about your debacles in order to evoke pity, create a feeling of guilt and shame on the part of your opponent in order to extort money or concessions as compensation for the harm sustained.

Virtue signalling The way of showing that you belong to all the progressive movements of humanity, such as those dedicated to anti-racism, feminism, the problems connected with climate change and many others.

W

War crimes Like genocide (quod vide) this term is used to denigrate the enemy and justify a military action against him.

War on terror A useful pretext for military intervention around the globe in pursuit of terrorist hideouts and alleged protectors of terrorism.

White privilege The privilege that all white people enjoy due to the fact that they have been born white, something that they ought to fl ashamed of and act apologetically while having dealings with the other races.

White supremacy An idea that allegedly some representatives of the white race are pursuing to the detriment of all the other races.

Women’s empowerment A concept of elevating women from their biological function as mothers to that of childless professionals. On the face of it, an attractive idea aimed at enabling women to get an education and a position in society, in fact a tool used to destroy the family and reduce the number of births.

World Economic Forum one of those better known covens of the powerful who decide the destiny of the planet. Most probably a decoy that distracts the attention from the real covens that are secret and as such uknown.

X

Xenocracy Worship of the alien, especially an alien of a different race. The United Kingdom takes the lead in this respect, having (had) a black bishop, a black foreign minister, and a Hindu Prime Minister.

Xenophilia Veneration of the alien entailing mass immigration to the detriment of the indigenous population. A political trend very much alive in the United States and Western Europe, unknown in the rest of the world.

Xenophobia A combative word used by the ruling left to suppress the opposition from the right. Xenophobes are equated with Nazis and racists, and treated accordingly.

Y

Young Global Leaders Since the cradle to a human is like a smith’s forge to an iron object, Young Global Leaders is a materialization of the concept of preparing at an early age the future leaders and staffers of organizations and institutions at national and international levels for the advancement of the globalist ideas around the world. Many present-day leaders have been trained in this way. Hence, youth policy i.e. the careful formation of the impressionable minds of children and adolescents.

Z

Zero growth policy An ingenious idea of stopping the human development because of its allegedly detrimental impact on the planet earth (the Pachamama) and humanity.

It had been decades since the friendship between the South African party ANC (African National Congress) and the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) began to blossom. After his release, Nelson Mandela met several times with the then head of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), Yasser Arafat.

Even today, many South Africans are reminded of their own struggle against the apartheid regime. They argue that the Palestinians are just as oppressed by the “apartheid state” of Israel as the South Africans once were by the white regime.

In fact, despite Mandela’s initial talk of “non-violence,” the ANC acted similarly to the terrorists of Hamas and later turned to armed resistance to fight apartheid.

ANC recently became the foremost opponent of Israel’s actions against Palestinians and has toughened its tone in recent months. This activity came with a bitter price tag to pay, as illustrated by the story of the South African ambassador to France.

After he had  accused Israel of genocide, he fell from the 22nd floor. And it happened to occur shortly before the announcement of the preliminary peace agreement on the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

South Africa’s ambassador to France, Nkosinati Mthetva, died after falling from the 22nd floor of a hotel in Paris. His family have ruled out the possibility of suicide, pointing to signs of torture on his body, while prosecutors have highlighted a broken security window in the hotel room.

The investigation is ongoing, and nothing definite can be said at this stage, but there is reason to believe that this was not an act of the ambassador’s own volition. The most intriguing element in this case is the fact that Mthethwa recently filed a lawsuit against Israel at the International Criminal Court for genocide. He was responsible for South Africa’s lobbying within the EU with the aim of imposing sanctions on Israel and supporting Palestinian aid deliveries.

I bet that several more South Africans will have fatal accidents before Pretoria changes its policy toward Israel. Things are getting tough now.
