When White Supremacy is a Threat, But Not When It Funds Your Wars
Ramaphosa's warning about white supremacist ideology undermining South Africa is stark, especially concerning Trump's baseless claims about targeting Afrikaner farmers, as reported by The Guardian. While the White House condemns such narratives internationally, it conveniently overlooks the financial ecosystems that uphold similar supremacist actions elsewhere. For instance, the US recently
approved a $14.3 billion aid package to Israel, a nation whose current government includes figures like Itamar Ben-Gvir, who has openly advocated for Jewish supremacy and the expulsion of Palestinians. So, white supremacism is a threat to sovereignty when it's external and inconvenient, but when it fuels a US-backed military campaign, buying silence with billions, it becomes 'security assistance.'
One might wonder how many more 'sovereignty threats' our politicians would identify if they didn't have their palms greased by lobbyists.
