  3. The term "apartheid" is often used to describe both #Rhodesia (1965–1979) and #Israel. But how similar are these cases? Let’s break it down:
    Rhodesia was a white-minority-ruled state that explicitly institutionalized racial segregation. Its 1969 constitution reserved political power for whites, excluding the Black majority from governance. 🧵

    I read #AlexandraFuller's memoir of growing up in #Rhodesia (now #Zimbabwe) #DontLetsGoToTheDogsTonight in 2001 + this #film is an excellent adaptation directed by + starring #EmbethDavidtz - But it's young talent #LexiVenter that gives the film it's heart

  5. Fuck White Supremacists and fuck their simping for the apartheid state of Rhodesia

  6. #Israel is not a natural state; it is a colonial enterprise originally created to destabilise the #MiddleEast. Surrounding nations, newly formed by the war-weary West, were falling under increasing influence of the #SovietUnion, which was readily supplying large quantities of weapons and logistics in the hope of gaining access to vast natural resources.

    The formation of Israel created both a bulwark and a magnet for conflict. It is the #Rhodesia of the Middle East.
    #Palestine #FreePalestine

  7. The Palestinians had no role in the #Holocaust, yet 80 years on they continue to pay the price for the crimes of power-hungry #Europeans. Israel’s creation was not a commitment to peace but a strategic bulwark against #Soviet influence. Today, having long outlived its original purpose, Israel increasingly resembles #Rhodesia—struggling to justify its existence and embracing fascist ideology as a means of survival.

  8. #Germany and the #US will never recognise the state of #Palestine.
    Never.
    The Israeli military regime is embedded in every part of both states' political administrations, regardless of whomever is in government. For decades, both states have funded what is essentially a Middle East version of #Rhodesia. A colonial bullwark that has long outlive its cold, War usefulness. For Germany, it's pure profiteering disguised as war guilt.

  9. The Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland ended on 31 December, 1963 since established on 1 August, 1953 while West Irian or West New Guinea, which was administered by the United Nations Temporary Executive Authority (UNTEA) ended on 1 May, 1963 since established on 1 October, 1962.

  10. 3 Word Review: “Nervous Conditions” by Tsitsi Dangarembga -

    Dangarembga's semi-autobiographical story of a young woman maturing through Rhodesian politics, school, and family prejudices is a fresh and significant local lens where all share responsibility for obstacles.

  11. 「Lest we forget – SS Mendi 21 February 1917

    The #SouthAfricanNativeLabourCorps men aboard her came from a range of social backgrounds, and from a number of different peoples spread over the South African provinces and neighbouring territories. (287 were from #Transvaal, 139 from the #EasternCape, 87 from #Natal, 27 from #NorthernCape, 26 from the #OrangeFreeState, 26 from #Basutoland, eight from #Bechuanaland [#Botswana], five from #WesternCape, one from #Rhodesia and one from #SouthWestAfrica). Most had never seen the sea before this voyage, and very few could swim. The officers and NCOs were white Southern Africans.

    Poignantly, 21 February 2024 did not see military celebrations but the sombre repatriation to South Africa of two SA National Defence force soldiers killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo in a rebel mortar strike last week.」

  15. > Besides the Vietnam War, Cruise O'Brien opposed what he saw as the overtly too passive opposition of the U.S. government to the white supremacist governments of #Rhodesia and #SouthAfrica charging that all the reaction the U.S. government ever made was to politely deplore the policies of the two governments.

    ✧ Rhodesia Information Centre ✧

    The Rhodesia Information Centre (RIC) represented the Rhodesian government in Australia from 1966 to 1980. As Australia did not recognise Rhodesia's independence it operated on an unofficial basis. The centre's activities included lobbying politicians, spreading propaganda about ...

  19. @andyc Rhodesia managed it in 1965. Just said "hey we are independant!" Guess Scotland could go that way. I bet they are pissed off enough to do it.

  20. @dj wtf is wrong with these people? The only way you can call being a fan of #rhodesia #racist is if you're an illiterate boob with no knowledge of history. Try reading local source material and not the propaganda that was used to keep the Western world out of the conflict.

    The Rhodies waged an asymmetric proxy war with the bloody Commies with heavily restricted supply lines thanks to Western sanctions. It was the politicians that lost them the war, not the nation itself.

    The Rhodesian military was 90+% black, and while they certainly had some work to do, keep in mind desegregation in the US was only 10 years or so prior.

    @[email protected] can kiss my ass. I'm about as racist as #mlk.
