Conveniently ignores the fact most Bedouins live in other Middle Eastern and African countries who have "usurped" their land.

South Africa only sends anti Israel Muslims as as representatives to Israel. This man has the absolute cheek to compare Israel with SA Apartheid. I have lived through both and went to Israel as I did not agree with Apartheid. I served in both armies. The difference was 180 degrees. He has no idea whatsoever. He is following the line of the SA gov who are getting kickbacks from Arab states. Boet I will meet you someday and you better be scared !!! In the mean time I will be happy to burn down your trees because you never deserved them in the first place. Israel tried to Honor you but you spat in the face of a friend. Gaan KAK in die mielies !!! Am YISRAEL Chai

Lets name a Hydnora africana after him.

His action showed true moral courage. He said and did the right thing by refusing the trees being planted on land usurped not only against humanity but in this case against Heaven Itself. Way to go, Mr. Ambassador!!

Unfortunately south Africa feels they have the right to moral superiority. The south African government is one of the most anti Israel government on the planet. The facts are irrelevant. Nothing will change this, including the truth. The real truth is that morally south Africa departed from its roots years ago, and should sort out it's own problems of which there are now many.

Its just stupid to compare Israel to South Africa. Anyone who does is clueless or racist. Sorry, but thats the truth. You may or may not like Israel, but there is NO comparison. SA Apartheid had government policies against different races of people. Israel is a huge melting pot with its problem, but NOTHING like South Africa. There are black, white, all different ethnicities in Israel, Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Zoastrian, etc, religious and secular. Its not perfect, which is OK, room to improve, but its vastly superior to most countries I know, especially considering how quickly it absorbed so many refugees, plus the native Jewish, Christian and Muslim populations. My hat is off to Israel. Way to go. Never stop improving, but Israel is pretty awesome so far!

First of all, Coovadia is a MUSLIM, so what do you expect. Secondly the Black South African Government has been fully hijacked by muslims. Behind every Black government minister stands a muslim with a hidden agenda. I live here in S/Africa, so I see it daily. Saudi money donated in millions to build more mosques & to convert local Christian Blacks into the 3rd force with a hidden, or maybe not such a hidden agenda - ISLAM.

Before it was the Gaza strip and the "West Bank" that Israel "usurped". Now it's the Negev. Tomorrow it will be Galilee. And by the end of the week it will be Haifa, Netanya, and Tel Aviv. Or perhaps the South African ambassador and his basket case of a government are trying to distract themselves from the cesspool of a reality in which they find themselves...where the average live expectancy of a South African has plummetted from 62 years in 1988 (still under Apartheid) to 52 years today.

That they got rid of this piece of trash.

Confiscating ALL Monatary Goods and expelling said people would be called what? Not giving religious freedom to the minority of a country is called What? In both cases The Poor Unfortinate people are called Mizrahi? JEWS Expelled from arab cuntries! So who practices Apartied? ALL mooslum/isslimic cuntries! So mr ambassador GO PISS IN THE WIND!!!

African go home. Your continent has a lot of problems you should solve before criticizing your former host. Keep your illegals in Africa.

When Liberman calls people like this a-holes he is criticized. Why? They're our enemies and they never miss an opportunity to show us how they feel. The progressive South Africans put tires around the necks of job seekers from Zimbabwe and burnt them in the streets. It murders its own people with violent criminal behavior that exists in no civilized nation, yet they criticize us. It's charming how all these countries, and I include the Arab world, try to deflect from their own evil behavior by blaming the Jews. It used to bother me. Not anymore.

lically hydrated every day.

Headlines!! Hamas: 100,000 children to enroll in summer campsTrainings includes use of live ammunition, simulated kidnappings of IDF soldiers So MR SA ambastard,I am glad that you are not on our side. Big words from a man of no dignity!

Haven't you figured out yet that no one cares about your hateful opinion. Just another fart in the wind.

to my grandparents home in Algiers. Im waiting for compensation. Time to show who the real apartheid states are !

If Israel is such a racist and aprtheid state, then why do Africans risk their lives crossing Arab countries trying to get to Israel? Can Ambassador Coovadia answer that question for us? Can the 'bds' honkeys answer that question also?

no wonder so many are fleeing S Africa

Lets not plant trees in his name - lets his name be taken out of memories - what a stupid man he must be just for the sake of publicity - Shame on him

The ANC sent a Muslim to represent us in your country... Just that tells you lots. The ANC is not Israel's friend and never will be. Madiba loved Israel though! Anyways, Israel, never forget that millions of black, white, Indian and colored Christian South Africans support you! Muslims have hijacked the current government, but change is coming to SA - and the self interest of Muslims will backfire. You not alone Israel. Thank you for the trees in the South African forest in Israel. While your haters love death and war, you love life... We are not blinded by their propaganda.

He obvious has sold his soul. Could someone please check his bank account?? If he really has received a big amount of money, it should be made public. Else he is suffering af bad nursing from childhood. He should never get the possibilty to enter Israel again.

all branches.

Prominent South African leaders and public figures in South Africa also said that Israel is not apartheid... I think Palestinians need to unite before they can blame Israel.

As an ex-South African, I can assure you that South Africa has a long way to go before it earns the right to comment on anything Israel should or should not do. It has become a violent cesspool in recent years. When Coovadia puts his own house in order, only then can he make credible comments about other countries.

Try at the circus

What else to expect for a man living on a hoax. It is just funny that he even opened his mouth :-) What an idiot :-)
