Some 160 Paleostinians fleeing Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

were stranded on their plane at Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo Airport for hours on Thursday before eventually being allowed entry by South African Authorities.
Footage circulating on social media showed a Paleostinian woman on the plane in tears over the situation.
After "two straight days of hardship and toil, between buses and planes, we received a very sad surprise," she said. "The state is unable to receive us just because we’re people coming from a war."
"That we started"
"My home is gone. I don’t have anywhere to go, any shelter. Where will we go? Enough," she cried, adding: "Why us?"
According to Haaretz, the group left Gaza early Wednesday morning, via the Strip’s southern Kerem Shalom crossing with Israel, following Israeli vetting.
Members of the group were then taken by bus to Israel’s Ramon Airport, near Eilat, where they boarded a chartered plane to Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, and from there boarded the chartered flight to Johannesburg.

An earlier group departing Gaza made an identical trip some two weeks ago and disembarked in Johannesburg without incident, Haaretz said. Both journeys were organized by an otherwise unknown organization called al-Majd, which has received many requests from Gazooks who want to leave the Strip, according to Haaretz.
The incident sparked widespread criticism of South Africa on social media as the country, which has led the allegations of genocide against Israel, was seen as unwilling to actually assist Paleostinians.
However,
it was a brave man who first ate an oyster...
a South African activist who has been helping the Gazooks blamed Israel, saying that they had sent the plane without coordinating with South Africa and had failed to put exit stamps on passports.
The activist, Imtiaz Sooliman, founder of South African NGO Gift of the Givers, told the South African Broadcasting Corporation that the Gazooks included a pregnant woman and several children, and that they were left hungry on a poorly kept plane with insufficient bathrooms, "really distraught coming from two years of genocide."
Sooliman, said the first flight included 176 Gazooks, and that his and other aid groups attended to their needs upon learning of their arrival in Johannesburg on October 28.
"These people were displaced. They didn’t know where to go. They had no contact numbers, no phone numbers," said Sooliman.
According to Sooliman, the first group’s relatives informed his organization on Wednesday that a second group was scheduled to arrive the next day.
"Nobody knew about that plane," he said. "It seems... Israel is voluntarily removing people from Gaza — you know, this is ethnic cleansing at its best — and taking away their goods, their hygiene packs, their food, sending them onto chartered planes."
Sooliman urged authorities to "investigate how people are coming on chartered planes without stamps. Israel did not stamp the passports." As a result, he said, South African border control officers "couldn’t allow them to get off the plane, simply because they were following rules" by not letting passengers alight in the country without valid travel documents.
Following Sooliman’s personal appeal to South Africa’s International Relations and Cooperation Minister Ronald Lamola and to the ministry’s director-general Zane Dangor, the Gazooks were let off the plane "eight to ten hours" after landing, the activist said.
"A lot of people have already offered food, clothing medical support" for the Gazooks who arrived in South Africa on Thursday, said Sooliman.
"We’re really grateful for South Africans, grateful for the government for making this happen, in keeping with our policy" of encouraging sanctions against Israel and pursuing genocide charges against the country at the International Court of Justice, said Sooliman.
Israel has vehemently rejected accusations of genocide in Gaza and accused Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...of using Gazooks as human shields.
It was unclear from Sooliman’s account how the Paleostinians would have traveled to and from Kenya.
Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), which oversees the flow of people and goods to and from Gaza, told Haaretz that the Paleostinians had received visas from South Africa ahead of time. COGAT was also cited by the newspaper as saying that, as a rule, Israel always makes sure that there is a country that will accept Gazooks departing the Strip.
The foreign ministries of Israel and South Africa did not immediately respond to requests for comment, Haaretz said.
A security source cited by the newspaper said Israel has made the departure of Gazooks easier, and approved over 95 percent of requests to leave the Strip, ever since US President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
, in February, presented a plan to oust Gaza’s residents and rebuild the Strip as a Mediterranean Riviera.
Trump appeared to back away from that plan in the comprehensive Gaza ceasefire plan he presented in September, which states: "No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return. We will encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza."
It’s unclear how many people have left the devastated Strip since the war, sparked by the October 7, 2023, Hamas massacre, though Hebrew media reports have placed the number at around 38,000.
