Kasrils Likened to Islamic Jihad Members

As the new year forces 2007 into the distance, we wish all our readers a Happy New Year and a belated Merry Christmas to our Christian readers.

To get the new year rolling, here, hot off the MEMRI press, is an excerpt from Al-Jazeera TV that confirms what we have been saying for years – that South African Jewish© Minister of Totalitarian Affairs Intelligence sounds more like a member of Islamic Jihad than a South African statesman. Syrian MP Muhammad Habash: Jewish South African Minister Kasrils Spoke Like a Member of Hamas or Islamic Jihad

Muhammad Habash : There are peace-loving forces. I was in Johannesburg, South Africa, a few days ago, and I saw [Ronnie] Kasrils, a Jewish member of the South African government, who is a member of the Communist Party. When he began talking, I sensed an Arab pulse beating through his words, in his defense of Palestine on the day of solidarity with the Palestinian people. Soon enough, I thought to myself that he might be a member of Fatah. A little later, I thought he might be from Hamas, and a little later, I thought he might belong to the Islamic Jihad. We have many friends in this world, who could easily be classified as members of the PFLP, the DFLP, and the other factions of the Palestinian struggle. Even though they are Jews, they refuse to accept injustice and oppression, and they are willing to support our causes.

How does he do it?
Everytime you think he can't get any lower.
That he's scraped the barell as far as he can go.
That nothing he does can shock you or sicken you anymore.
He go's and takes your breath away again.

I thought Kasrils was a member of the ANC?

[Gary]

He is a member of the ANC/SACP.
The point is that his level of venom and invective is so vicious that he sounds (even to an Arab extremist) like a member of Hamas or Islamic Jihad.

Ronnie Red Shrek Kasrils should be given a one way ticket to Gaza and strict instructions to stay there.

[Gary]

He couldn't even get elected back onto the ANC's National Executive Committee, so maybe he should strap some explosive to his fat stomach and become a Shaheed.

[Hard Rain]

Maybe a diplomatic stay in Sderot can be organized for him and Tony Blair? I wonder if it'll be as safe as the proclaimed safety of Bethlehem made by Uncle Tony last year?

this would be funny if it wasn't so sad, this should be given wide exposure in the SA Jewish press, oh I forget they are a bunch of yellow belly cowards with their heads in the sand, hear no Jew-hatred, see no Jew-hatred blabla. it's up to IAS as usual to even mention this.

Kasrils is the SA equivalent of George Galloway. To call him despicable is too kind.

I think Red Ronnie should stand up for humanitarian causes and become a human shield in sderot. As Gary pointed out above - he seems to have the "guts" to make a pretty good human shield.
