Re: trade with Apartheid SA: Well-known anti-Apartheid activist and former editor of the Rand Daily Mail (Johannesburg) Benjy Pogrund stated recently that "Israel did trade with apartheid South Africa - but so did the entire world, starting with oil sales by Arab states, and including the United States, United Kingdom, France, Belgium, the Soviet Union and many in Africa. "
32. Kim # 10, maybe so, but in the meantime
Truth hurts   (05.26.12)
South Africa hasn't learned anything from what they suffered during Apartheid. Now, they are too happy to outleash their home-made anti-Semitism and their stupid labelling requests. As if labelling differently will solve BDS stupidity and lethal policies. That is exactly why the kinds of BDS-es and fascist muslim militants there have to be told very clearly. No more, nothing of theirs will ever pass ! THEY WILL BE STOPPED right there in South Africa. And, Kim, believe me, we know so well where South Africa is and how it was put together, how many wars were fought by the European colonizers and how many Zulu nationals were butchered along with other black locals till this country was finally built on rivers of blood, that is African black people's blood.

Moshe, ISRAEL CONTROLS 97.3% OF JUDEA and SAMARIA. * Maps of Israeli interests in Judea and Samaria * Haim Gvirtzman SEE MAP OF OSLO 2 As for the number of Arabs who left their towns and villages ""because the Arab leaders told them to leave" Its better that we don't get into a slugging match as I don't want to embarrass Israel. I will just say that I have learnt a lot in the past 50 years in Israel. As for you Sarah B, read #24 and then read it again and again and again.

Healthy debate?? When did Israel ever indulge in healthy debate with anyone, about anything? Its always, "our way or the highway". Change your own attitudes first, then maybe others' will change too.
35. #34 is seriously misinformed and deluded
delas8 ,   Joburg SA   (06.01.12)
Well...please tell us in which country in the Middle East there is debate? I suppose Syria, Egypt...you are deluded! Israel is the only country in the ME where there IS free debate!! Become informed please!
