No, it recognised itself in another racist state. In other words, "like meets like and likes what it sees". It is interesting to note the numbers of South African Jews who were involved in the anti-apartheid struggle. One of whom, Joe Slovo, was the leader of Umkhonto we Sizwe and the SACP. Indeed his wife, Ruth First, was already actively involved in the campaign before Slovo joined. Ruth's father, Julius, was an early leader of the SACP.
The Apartheid state may have openly embraced Israel but the many Jews who lived in SA did not.
Once again, another evasive post.
So no comment on this then?
Or is it the case that your propaganda supplier needs time to formulate some sort of response?
Nino bumps another month-old thread for no other purpose than to abuse. Surely it is clear that he has no genuine interest in our discussion?
Troll Troll Troll Troll.....*yawn*
Truly worrying. But at least he can rely on you to follow him around yapping "links, links, links" like the poodle you are. That must be a comfort to him in his old age.
Links?
Nino: "Many S. African Jews did not support Israel.": Utter nonsense. Two things, first, simply look at Aliyot from that country following the fall of the Aparthied Govt. We had extra planes flying back and forth. Secondly, while there under Apartheid more supported out tactical alliance with Pretoria than supported terrorist groups like the ANC and even peaceful anti-Apartfeid groups. See, there is a deep longing in most Jews' hearts that , as I was taught myself in a cheder in Brooklyn as a 3 year old boy..."We are supposed to obey the laws of the nations we resiode in AS LONG AS they do not conflict wiht Jewish Laws. Jewish Laws must ALWAYS be honoured above all others and ww must remember that even if we live in America we are Jewish Americans, not American Jews." Pollard is a great example of this as are hundreds more, and thousands of Sayaneem worldwide prove the maxim over and over.
While almost all Jews hated the Apartheid System, they recognised the utility of an erstwhile ally in that part of the world. That nation went out on limbs for us, and we had an enormous vested interest economically and militarily in the country.

Keyboard: "Many Jews have left S. Africa for economic reasons, not reasons of racism,etc.": You are misunderstanding me. I do not think you would find more than a handful of Jews ANYWHERE who would have supported the racist policy of Apartheid (I never met a single one, and many Jewish Americans have the sterotypical American hangups on race like all other Americans). Tactical alliances can be based one economics as well as other concerns and the Jewish support of S. Africa had ALOT to do with economics. Still, it was support
Nino: "Israel tacitly supported S. Africa's Apartheid system.": Well, if by "tacit" you meant de facto condoning you are of course incorrect. If you meant "help prop it up because of their military and economic trade" then you have a strong point which I already said myself.
Israel of course would never condone it because, if you ever visit Israel you will be able to see why. Many of us are very dark skinned. We range from coal black to snow white. Every physical type under the sun. For us to be focused on physical appearance as the evil in anything would be boderline retarded.
"Israel should soon adopt S. Africa's former racist policies in the so called 'WB'.": You think they should? Haha. I know you did not mean that, calm down. However, not only would Israel never even think of that, Israel is ceding the land post haste.
I find it pretty indicative of the problem in this forum when you say something like that despite reality telling us how Israel has just armed an 1800 man strong PA Infantry on top of their 22,000 Police Force and almost 40,000 man strong Security Apparattus. If amything you would be holding your tongue, if not saying the direct opposite.
Israel removes dozens of Checkpoints and Barriers in the last 4 months, invested much more in Infrastructure, gave the PA an IDF Base and is helping them convert it into a model city, has given them economic incentives, helped prop up their shaky PA administration, and many other things but you believe Israel will isntitute a policy of racial subjugation. Okkkkk...
Nino: "Israel has adopted the South African concept of 'Bantustans'.": Prove it. It should be exceedingly simple to prove your assertion.
Nino: Your entire post, as usual, was one big insult.
racist diatribes.
Well there's a surprise.
Rachamim, I very rarely post on middle east threads, particularly in this forum although I used to a few years ago. A couple of years arguing the toss over issues that I now believe to be largely intractible convinced me of the futilty of internet discussion of the topic.
I do however follow these threads and have read most of your posts over the years. Whilst I don't always agree with all of your viewpoints I must say that you argue positions eloquently, appropriately and generally without resorting to the filthy, one-sided, racist diatribes that are the trademarks of some of your adversaries here.
You sir, are a gentleman.
Really.....? Care to point out where this has happened?
