Pemphero Mphande has issued an apology to Malawians living in Israel who felt offended by his recent post highlighting Israel’s bombing of an Iranian journalist, which he described as a war crime. In a lengthy statement, Mphande acknowledged the fears and concerns expressed by some Malawians abroad, especially regarding how his content may alarm their families back home. However, he criticized those who responded with insults, calling them “stupid fools,” and emphasized that his posts were not aimed at individuals working in Israel but reflected his long-standing commentary on Middle Eastern geopolitics. He then delved into a detailed historical account of the Israel-Palestine conflict, criticizing Zionism, Western imperialism, and media narratives that portray Arabs and Muslims as terrorists. Mphande reaffirmed his stance against war and oppression, stating he supports sovereignty and peace—not Iran or any particular side—and concluded by declaring that he does not fear losing privileges like American visas for speaking out against injustice.
