Before Nelson Mandela's leadership, millions of Black South Africans lived third-world lives in a first world country. That was unfair and unjust. Now, post Mandela, millions of Black and White South Africans live third-world lives in a third world country.... Progress?

The Mayor of Joberg caved to the EFF. Furthermore this is part of the standard totalitarian approach that South Africans take on Israel. That is to say any voice that is not the same is not only shut down but forms of violence implemented to scare others from voicing there opinion.

Israel spends tens of millions every year on PR. That did not help SA and it won't help Israel.
My gov't refuses to recognise the fact that you cannot kill and maltreat "others"
Syrians can kill Syrians. N Koreans can kill their own. But it is racism when you occupy, kill and subjugate "others"
The problem here would be quite simple were it not for the RELIGIOUS EXTREMISTS ON BOTH SIDES.
Almost 40 years ago a group of religious extremists, with the moral backing of extremist rabbis, began wounding and killing Palestinians. A left wing politician claimed that there was a "Jewish underground" He was laughed at.
Luckily the Shin Bet managed to apprehend them before it became a catastrophe. They were caught one night placing bombs on Palestinian buses and shortly before they blew up the mosques on the Temple Mount.
The leaders spent no more than eight years in prison before receiving a presidential pardon. Unlike the Palestinians who are imprisoned for life.

It seems that most Jews have selective hearing.
When a Hamas leader (religious extremist) says "The Jews will be expelled from all of Palestine", most Jews think that he is expressing the views of all Arabs
When an extremist rabbi says that "God gave us all of Aretz Yisrael and that the Arabs must be sent to the Arab countries" most Jews don't hear or don;t care.
When a Jew says that he and others are now planning the building of the Third Temple, Arabs fly into a panic

The only successful solution to the problem here is the two state solution.
Militarily the problem cannot be solved

Since the black racists took over for the white racists, S.A. has become another communist third world toilet. The blacks were better off with the whites. So they haven't gained anything except the satisfaction of stealing land from whites who were too busy working their land to be racists, and never did blacks any harm. But they even murdered some of those whites. It didn't matter that they were innocent. They were white, and that's all the blacks cared about. So in review, S.A. was racist during apartheid, and they remained racist under communism. So Israel should tell S.A. to pound sand.

There must be professiionalism in today's modern world where people are reprimanded for not doing their job proficiently or for mishandling sensitive materials/documents detrimental to their country. But for proclamations that touches on emotional sensitivity that causes a goverment employee to be dismissed speaks of immaturity and childlishness.

Authority or Hama's controlled areas is Abu Masan and pals business- what Israeli Arabs Muslim or christian do in Israel is the same as anyone else in Israel - they have the right to vote- live where they want- eat and drink in what ever restaurant they want to- stay at the same hotels,ride the same public transport,have welfare and medical insurance,swim in the same beaches so whats your point????When the Palestinian authority and Hama's provide their citizens with a future instead of using them as political fodder perhaps there will be peace.
