US memorial crosses revive disproven 'white genocide' claims
Original: US installation commemorates victims of South African ‘white genocide’ https://www. aljazeera.com/video/newsfeed/2 026/9
Memorial crosses have been installed at a US site to honour victims of what organisers call a 'white genocide' against white South African farmers. The claim has been widely debunked: crime data show farm murders are a small share of South Africa's overall violence and are not racially targeted as a campaign. Critics say the installation spreads a conspiracy theory embraced by far-right figures, while supporters frame it as recognition of persecuted farmers.
Why now: The installation reignites a politically charged, widely debunked claim that keeps resurfacing in US and South African politics.
