In response to Ebrahim Essa's letter "Your beloved Trump not a Saint either. Firstly, let me be very clear, there is absolutely no comparison between Cyril Ramaphosa and Donald Trump, just like their is absolutely no comparison between Israel and Hamas.

For almost 15 months now, the rhetoric of Trump being another 'Hitler', Israel committing a supposed 'genocide' and Benjamin Netanyahu apparently being found guilty of war crimes against humanity, has become as stale as a muffin left in a cupboard for over a year.

By now, many people with half a brain have concluded that Islam is very dangerous, pro-death movement which is fuelled by hatred for Jews and Christians across the globe.

What shocks me the most is that Mr Essa tries to draw a comparison between the ANC and some sort of Mother Theresa-figure, praising them for apparently having the guts to drag Israel to the Hague, against most Christian South Africans wishes, behind their backs, similar to the cowardly fashion with which Hamas and Hezbollah attacked innocent Jewish citizens, firing rockets from within schools and hospitals, and then crying foul when they got taken out.

Dr Naledi Pandor was the frontrunner in this highly controversial, antisemitic stunt. The sly way in which she went about this, purely for political gain and extra Muslim votes, made many average South Africans blood boil.

Strong leaders such as Trump and Netanyahu will always be criticized for making tough decisions and tackling evil regimes head-on in a fierce battle. Trump had no reason to continue in politics but his passion for his own people and his love for freedom and Christian values propelled him forward, against all odds, despite the ridiculous accusations raised against him by the Leftist Democratic Joe Biden cabal.

Netanyahu and the IDF have thankfully obliterated most of the Iranian terror axis, taking out some of the most notorious terror masterminds.

In doing so, Netanyahu and his brave men, despite Biden’s attempts to stop them or slow them down, did the whole of the Middle East a massive favour! Iranian people will soon be free from Khamenei’s evil regime.

Iranian woman will soon have many more rights, and Syria/Lebanon and Gaza, will also soon be free from the terrible clutches of its radical Islamic terror-groups, Hamas, Hezbollah and Co.

Essa tries to twist the truth by criticizing true heroes such as Trump, who won person of the year as per the Times magazine, for a second time now, and tries to deligitimise Israel, a sovereign democratic nation. Essa praises the ANC cadres who by now, we all know are corrupt and only seek to divide us and destroy us.

If Mr Essa is suggesting that Ramaphosa and the ANC are to be honoured and praised, despite their dismal record of 30 years, then I would like to say this to our readers: look at the evidence of what this country has become under the ANC government, and start holding these clowns responsible in stead of criticizing strong, democratic leaders such as Trump, Netanyahu, or even Javier Milei, from Argentina.

Speak up against Terrorism, progressivism and leftist, woke ideologies. Ignore the propaganda that we see from Al Jazeera , the ICC and United Nations, and do more research on Yahya Sinwar, Khamenei, Bashar al-Assad, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

The Left will always try to blind us to the truth, but the light of our religious convictions will guide us to victory and lead us home. May God bless South Africa and protect us from evil, far left regimes who try to pull wool over our citizens eyes. We will not be silenced!
