Apartheid is not democratic but it served the economic interests of southern African blacks far better then majority rule. The blacks of both South Africa and Zimbabwe had a much higher standard of living under apartheid. The whole world is familiar with black misrule in Zimbabwe but pretends to not notice the terrible track record of the new South Africa. The standard of living of blacks is half of what it was 20 years ago. Violent crime has skyrocketed and now is among the highest in the world. The inconvenient fact is all of black Africa was better off under colonial rule then independence. The nation state is an alien imposition on tribal black Africa. The left cannot admit this so they pretend the situation in South Africa has improved. It has deteriorated in the extreme. The only good thing one can say about the new South Africa is it is not as awful as Zimbabwe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18947592.post-14694922190075661532009-02-09T12:18:00.000+13:002009-02-09T12:18:00.000+13:00Only liberals can back folks who send suicide bomb...Only liberals can back folks who send suicide bombers into Israel to blow up malls,school buses and restaurantes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18947592.post-48806713392748176662009-02-09T10:28:00.000+13:002009-02-09T10:28:00.000+13:00"Opposition to Apartheid was a good cause..."And o..."Opposition to Apartheid was a good cause..."<BR/><BR/>And one which "libertarians" and others on the right generally didn't lift a finger to support, in fact, quite the opposite.

When Indian or Chinese dockworkers reject shipments of advanced arms systems from Israel it will be a bad sign. If Germans turn back shipments of Israeli farm goods it will be a very bad sign. If dockworkers in New York turn back goods from Israel it will be a extremely bad sign. But when semi-literate third worlders from South Africa engage in anti-semitic activity it hardly merits notice. This is South Africa we are talking about. A nation that is devolving faster than just about any other nation excepting Zimbabwe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18947592.post-53063303974099285242009-02-08T14:14:00.000+13:002009-02-08T14:14:00.000+13:00Read it and weep!February 6, 2009 -- The Congress ...Read it and weep!<BR/><BR/>February 6, 2009 -- The Congress of South African Trade Union (COSATU) is pleased to announce that its members, dock workers belonging to the South African Transport and Allied Workers Union (SATAWU), achieved a victory last night when they stood firm by their decision not to offload the /Johanna Russ/, a ship that was carrying Israeli goods to South Africa.

You're nothing more than an apologist for Hamas terrorism, plan and simple.<BR/><BR/>You promote revisionist lies, stating how Israel is like apartheid South Africa even though there are no major similarities at all. Arabs, and Jews alike are born in the same hospitals in Israel. Arabs are allowed citizenship, while black South Africans were at second class citizenship.<BR/><BR/>Israel is also not on the lines of Nazi Germany. Many Jewish temples, in general have been attacked in Europe, and also in the USA because of how anti-Israel activists like yourself happily allow the revival of anti-Semitism, while you're stating that the Israelis are the new "Nazis" even though "Nazi" state of Turkey, which has long standing abuse of Kurds and Armenians just went to support YOUR cause.<BR/><BR/>You're an outright hypocrite, deal with it.mah29001https://www.blogger.com/profile/14534560947847502694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18947592.post-76548191380845477442009-02-08T09:43:00.000+13:002009-02-08T09:43:00.000+13:00Cameron-hope for what?
