From the Citizen on Saturday - hold onto your jaw as you discover that the National Association of Democratic Lawyers questions the establishment of Israel because it was established at a time when "the UN consisted primarily of colonising countries."
They don't question the establishment of any other countries by this colony of colonialists - only Israel.
Note: the headline "Black Lawyers" was the headline used by the Citizen. I just copied it.
National Association of Democratic Lawyers has condemned what it called "the flagrant breaches of international humanitarian law" by the latest Israeli attack on Gaza. The organisation called for South Africa to end diplomatic relations with Israel, and a boycott and sanction campaign until the end of the occupation of Gaza. "We must never forget that Israel was created by the UN in 1948 at a time when it consisted primarily of colonising countries, and when most of the present-day developing world was still under the yoke of colonialism," spokesman Max Boqwana said. [...] Boqwana said "People who say that both sides are equally to blame are simply wrong. "Unlike SA, where we demanded, fought for and eventually won a unitary state, the Palestinians are willing to settle for much less." He said Israel's crimes against humanity uncovered the reality that for nearly six decades Israel had been engaged in a campaign intended to destroy the Palestinian people. |
The depth of anti-rational thought in South Africa knows no bounds.
"the Palestinians are willing to settle for much less"
Funny, that's not what they say.
"for nearly six decades Israel had been engaged in a campaign intended to destroy the Palestinian people."
Rather, for the last six decades, the majority of the Arab world has been engaged in a campaign intended to destroy the Israeli people.

Actually South Africa is itself a colinial creation by the British forcing together various different states such as the zulu Kingdom , the Pedi Kingdom , many tribal fiefdoms , the Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State Republic.
If any country has no right to exist it is South Africa!
Israel, on the other hand , has been inhabited by Jews for 6 000 years.

Maybe you should go to France?

At least France voted for Israel to join the REd Cross , unlike South Africa.
And the Interior Minister of France , Nicholas Sarkozy said that Israel has a right and a duty to defend itself. I would like to see a South African Cabinet Minister say that.
SA is worse than any country in Europe.

yeah SA is as bad as Venezuala.
remember the jihadi terrorism carried out in Cape Town in the late nineties under the cover of Pagad?, well you know South Africa - if and when the jihad by SA Muslims begins again don't expect any pity from me. I know that sounds like terrible schadenfreude, but really like Gary I am beyond disgusted with SA. The National Party supported the Nazis in the 1930s even adopting the swastika as the emblem on their newsletters, now we have the ANC supporting the jihad against the Jews.
The more things change the more they stay the same.

The question is this-if SA chooses , as it does , to align itself with terrorist organizations and regimes like Hezbollah/Hamas , North Korea , Iran , Syria , Libya , Cuba , Venezuela etc , can SA not be considered a terrorist regime by proxy?
