I mean like 2/5 of BRICS is currently actively involved in genocide so maybe they should pause for a hot minute and look in the mirror.
Also I know the current South African government has nothing to do with the government 30 years ago, but something about ZA calling out an apartheid state just seems ironic.
- Also I know the current South African government has nothing to do with the government 30 years ago... seems ironic
  Yikes.
  They had a lot to do with it - insofar as the ANC actively fought against the Apartheid Government for years and years. The ANC is now the party in power in South Africa.
  Calling it "ironic" that people who were oppressed by apartheid are now opposed to it when they see it happening in other countries, is bizarre. It's a bit like blaming India for the British Raj.
  
  Sorry as I clarified below I didn't mean ironic as in hypocritical just interesting.
  
  Apartheid don't seem to pose any problem when its genocide against the Uyghurs ^^
- But that's exactly why it's extremely telling when south africa calls israel an apartheid state. Because south african's know what it's like to be brutalised and dehumanised under an apartheid state. They see direct parallels of apartheid south africa in israel.
  I don't see it as ironic, i see it as damning.
  
  I didn't mean ironic as in hypocritical, just kinda "oh how the turn tables".
  
  So considering they are making this call side by side with china does that mean that being deported to literal death camps alongside your whole population being rape and tortured while your children are taken away to be stripped of their cultures is not a problem
- and 5/5 BRICS are trubo late to the party
  they made this announcement while negotiation were already well underway for a cease fire most of them are dictatorship who made this call late so they can claim to their population the cease fire was because of them
Israel forgot or plainly hubris that guerrilas fight battles to win in politics. Hamas has won. Today, it is now acceptable to openly criticize Israel in the West, even in the US. The dominoes are falling.
How do you find these sources?
This one doesn't even have a MBFC rating, even though it seems to be the second most popular newssite in Pakistan.
- MBFC guy has no credentials to justify his credibility. Dawn is a hugely popular website and MBFC's lack of rating is a sign that MBFC's ratings are poor, not that Dawn is a poor source.
  MBFC does ok for mainstream US sources but falls apart outside of them.
- I search for alternative news sources so I don’t stay in a media bubble.
  
  So you pick a random news site and read all their articles or do you search for additional coverage after seeing it on somewhere else?
