May 21, 2021 (EIRNS) Very early this morning, the ceasefire went into uncertain effect between Israel and Palestine, after 11 days of strife, with terrible destruction in Gaza. As of last night, 232 Palestinians were dead, with 1,700 wounded; 12 Israelis were dead, with 335 wounded. The bloodshed is the legacy of the long-standing British policy impact in the extended region, which has reached the point of economic and social breakdown, and murderous figures like Benjamin Netanyahu.

It is common knowledge that former president Jacob Zuma fired then minister of finance Nhlanhla Nene in December 2015 because he would not support Zuma’s 9.6GW nuclear deal. But what is less well known are the falsehoods told by the deal’s supporters to coerce reluctant Cabinet ministers – and the country at large – into believing that nuclear power was in South Africa’s best interests.
