Dead Nazi

For all those commenters who were shocked by my failure to be very sorry about the murder of Eugene Terre Blanche, here is a photo of him

And here’s a massacre by those nice cuddly white South Africans – less than 1% of whom engaged in any form of protest against this massacre.

I don’t think any more words are needed.

    Eugene Terreblanche ‘killers’ in South Africa court

    The AWB has retracted a threat to take revenge for the killing

    Two South Africans are due to be formally charged with the murder of white supremacist Eugene Terreblanche.

    The two farm workers, aged 28 and 15, have admitted beating him to death in a dispute over unpaid wages, police say.

    About 200 supporters of Terreblanche’s paramilitary AWB group have gathered at the court, and small crowds from the local black community are also there.

    A man who lived and advocated through violence…meets his end by way of violence.

    A poetic irony if there ever was one.

    You have nothing to chaff at the Uzbeks, if your mind is wired like a Nazis.

    You’re an idiot Craig. Unprofessional quitter, who failed to serve his nation, now a slanderer who promotes murder.

    Eugene was outspoken, but he was neither terrorist, nor responsible for anyone’s death.

    Shame on you, and commentators and readers who support you.

    I may not have liked Malcolm X or Francoise Fanon – but I do not condone murder. Period.

    Not so good point, Larry. You are missing the point.

    Opponents of the Iraq War would have shed no tears if Saddam Hussein or his vile sons had been assassinated. The point about the war and its unbelievably incompetently handled aftermath is the hundreds of thousands of civilians who just happened to get killed in the process, not to mention all those who were displaced and injured.

    What exactly are you suggesting by the juxtaposition of those photographs, Craig?

    Can you actually document murders committed by the man whose death by dismemberment so amused you?

    I think you are mistaken to say that no more words are needed, if you mean by that that your comment is not to be taken as an incitement to murder.

    Is that, in fact, your hope, that all the white people in Africa will murdered to avenge past atrocities?

    Ultimately of course, when push came to shove, Terre Blanche and his ilk were just as irrelevant as the blacks they oppressed.

    There was a time when apartheid was seen as useful to the corporate elite and Terre Blanches were useful. Then apartheid became bad for business and he became irrelevant.

    I wonder did he ever work that out.

    Have you been listening to the anti-war movement?

    Does the word indefatigability come to mind?

    It seems to me that there were more people in the anti-war movement on the side of Hussein at the inception of the war and religious insurgents while the war progressed, than those in the anti-war movement who took the far more reasonable position that you cite.

    Alfred, I’m not in tune with these threads, but this is very obviously not the blog of someone who hopes that all white people in Africa are murdered. Don’t be hysterical. It is a blog which points out that Terre Blanche was murdered in the same way that the victims of his ideology were murdered.

  14. Jon

    6 Apr, 2010 - 5:51 pm

    @Alfred – again I can’t make my mind up whether you’re a troublemaker or up for serious debate. Usually you discuss things in detail, but on a previous thread you make sweeping generalisations about liberals just to cause a provocation, and on this one you claim to believe that Craig’s post is an incitement to murder. But you don’t actually believe that, do you? Opposition to specific ideas is fine, but opposition to “liberals” in general is just political entrenchment, which is hardly in the spirit of co-operation and civility.

    @Sharp – the usefulness of racism to the modern corporate elite is an interesting discussion. This was picked up in Naomi Klein’s book, Disaster Capitalism – and it connects also with how the IMF locked poverty into SA when Chicago theory economics were at their peak.

    And Larry: more people supporting Hussein indeed. What utter nonsense. As for Galloway, as any fule in the UK kno, the heroes at the time ranged from John Pilger to Mark Thomas, to Mark Steel, to Jeremy Corbyn, to the schoolchildren who walked out in protest, to the WI who slow hand-clapped Blair, to the grandmothers who blockaded the air bases, to Unite and Unison and all the other unions, to Greenpeace, to students, to academics and bishops; in fact, to just about everyone. George Galloway and support for Hussein indeed. Have you nothing better to throw?

    Merlin is absolutely right about the objection being to the human tragedy unfolding – and how right we were. I wish we’d been wrong. I often hoped we were.

    Sharp: it would be interesting to look at Terre Blanche’s funding. Do you know anything about it? Mad bad people can exist quite independently of corporations, of course, but it does help if they have their money.

    @Merlin – if pressed, I’d agree that the assassination of Hussein would be preferable to the million+ dead in Iraq now, though I am not comfortable with state-sanctioned murder in any circumstances. But given that most people agree the assassination of Hitler would have been more good than bad, perhaps the same applies to Hussein.

    But the thing that I find most frustrating is that, if he was our useful son-of-a-bitch, then the people who installed him, and kept him armed, should bear some of the responsibility for his crimes. They knew what was going on when they sold chemical weapons to him, as did a young-looking Rumsfeld when he shook Hussein by the hand. What a pleasurable and profitable item of business!

    However, the dilemma with siding with the “lesser-evil” argument in favour of state murder is that it will start to be applied in favour of the corporate elite. Before you know it, moderate or leftist politicians would be bumped off, all using the same logic. Therefore, one has to consider the outcome of supporting state-supported assassination even if on the surface it appears to be the least worst option.

    I still can’t get my head around the concept that rejoicing and showing a callous disregard, at the very least, in relation to the brutal murder of another human being… is somehow o.k., a truly “liberal” attitude, and squares with being a vigourous supporter of human rights and an anti-torture vocal campaigner.

    TerreBlanche was a deluded, primative, brutal man. A man with odious views on “race” and the primacy of the white race. His views were so extreme he was almost a parody of a white racist. But for all that I wouldn’t have wished the man dead, beaten with a club and slashed with a machette. Call me old-fashioined, but I just don’t support senseless violence, murder, targetted killings, capital punishment; I think we should strive to make the use of violence, less, not more acceptable.

    I felt no joy when Saddam Hussein was murdered in that ghastly cellar. It was a vile act of slaughter. I didn’t rub my hands together when his bruttish sons were killed either. I’m sick and tired of all the killing. I wouldn’t have executed the leading Nazis either, or Hitler. I think that was letting them off too easily. There are worse punishments than death. Life without respect, or power, for the powerful and feared is a far worse form of punishment. Showing them for what they really are, very ordinary men, when their power has been taken away, is a real punishment. Which is why Hitler took his own life, rather than face his enemies and their disdain.

    Contrasting the photo of TerreBlanche in his full Moses/Brownshirt get up, with a photo from the Sharpville Massacre, is a piece of crude propaganda, which I believe insults the memory of those who were gunned down in Sharpville. It exploits them to make a political point, which is highly questionable. It’s similar to the way Zionists prostitute the memory of the Holocaust, and is just as unpleasant, and I’m actually rather surprised, no, shocked, that person with Craig’s expressed values would stoop to such methods.

    Technicolor,

    Can there be serious doubt that there is anyone on this blog who is not the beneficiary of acts of rape, murder and pillage committed at some point in their ancestry? And if not, then to say that Terre Blanche deserved to die as some African victims of the apartheid government died amounts to saying that we should all be beaten to death with a lead pipe.

    I believe Craig has made a serious error of judgment, which he should acknowledge. To encourage the enjoyment of violence cannot but encourage it.

    Terreblanche, incidentally, a name that Craig thinks too ridiculous to be real, was, according to Wikipedia, the man’s real family name. His remotest African ancestor was a French Huguenot refugee named Estienne Terreblanche from Toulon(Provence), who arrived at the Cape in 1704.

    For all his sins, and who of us are without sin, his aspiration for which he is so despised by some, was to create a white homeland in South Africa, a logical and fairly harmless extension, one would have thought, of the Apartheid idea. Not an idea likely to be adopted by the present government of South Africa, it is true, although why not? Terre Blanche’s family and that of many Boers have lived in Africa far longer than the families of most black South Africans. Should they not receive some consideration as indigenous people and allowed, if they wish, to retain their identity? Given a few hundred years of separate development and they might all turn into liberals.

    No man is an island

    Entire of itself

    Each is a piece of the continent, a part of the main

    Any man’s death diminishes me for I am involved in mankind

    So send not to ask for whom the bell tolls

    It tolls for thee

    (John Donne, from memory, e&oe)

    But I don’t think this blog owner would disagree. It seems he sees Terre Blanche as a symbol of the evils of apartheid. Since Terre Blanche tried to make himself into a symbol of the evils of apartheid, I can sort of understand it.

    At the same time, writerman, I agree. And with Jon too. And Donne. No-one here is killing anyone, right? But there comes a point where fighting against war, even verbally, can indeed be a bit like fucking for virginity.

    Actually, I’m pretty sure Craig would have tried to rescue anybody being set on by two people with machetes, and asked questions later. So really, this is not about him at all.

    I assure you I am absolutely serious in my view that to openly delight in the murder of someone because of their politics is a provocation to violence.

    As for mocking liberals in general, I agree, it is not really constructive. I’m sorry. In future I will try to take them more seriously. But it is hard, listening to them justify murder for example, or explaining why Britain should have an immigration system based on that of Canada and Australia, near empty countries more than thirty times the size of Britain, etc.

    Actually no, Craig had no joy at the death of SH..but ETB was a proponent of a radical faction within the loons of last day aparthaid SA today. A man out of his time raging against the machine with no hope or future for himself or his followers. He holed up on a little farm and eventually realised his view of SA was not simply going to happen.

    He was simply a product of his time and could not face change, bitter, twisted and angry..I personally am simply surprised he lasted as long as he did.

    Is it racism for the Scots to want to live in Scotland and govern themselves. If you’ll agree that Craig’s a racist, I’ll agree that by virtue of wanting a white homeland in RSA T Blanche etc were by definition racists.

    The fact is, here the term “racist” is overused to the point of meaninglessness. Anyone who wants to use the term should give clear operational definition of what they mean in the particular context.

  57. technicolour

    6 Apr, 2010 - 10:00 pm

    Alfred; no: racism would be if the Scots went off and constructed an all-Scottish homeland in a corner of Scotland in which no one else apart from Scottish people were welcome. Scottish people mostly already live in Scotland by the way.

    Racism, how does one define it? Judging people by race, seeing a race as superior or inferior, excluding people on grounds of race, attacking people on grounds of race? That’s my go. Yours?

  58. Alfred

    6 Apr, 2010 - 10:18 pm

    Anon,

    I have accused no one of racism so I am not obliged to define the term.

    The fact that a bunch of white farmers want to live, as their forefathers lived, in a separate community in a country about thirty times as large as Scotland does not amount to “seeing a race as superior or inferior, excluding people on grounds of race, attacking people on grounds of race?”

    So really, what you are saying is that as long as the white homelanders restrict their homeland to where Boer farmers are currently concentrated and provided that they don’t stick up signs saying “no colored people” etc. and are generally polite to visitors of whatever race, then all that makes them racist is their opposition to immigration of not white South African farmers. Sort of like the racism one hears of in Scotland:

    Larry,

    The information that the US sold biological weapons to Saddam is in the public domain, and very easily found.

    What is more worrying is that they were still being sold months after the Halabja gassing of the Kurds.

    If you dont know how to use Google Larry, here is the vital evidence from the US Department of Commerse…

    Yes, the CDC stupidly sent those to various countries including Iraq. Some of the substances were probably used for medical research, including research on vaccines, but it’s possible that they were used to synthesize part of Hussein’s massive WMD’s. Also, this is a cherry-picked partial list; the CDC sent Iraq all sorts of other substances.

    That’s a far cry from claiming that the U.S. armed Iraq with WMD’s.

    Maybe the CDC thought Saddams stocks were low and needed a boost after the 5,000+ Kurds were slaughtered. (I know it’s possible Iran was responsible, but the US government has been publically pinning that massacre on Saddam)

    6 months after that attack, and the US government thought nothing of sending more Anthrax and Botulism to the ‘mad-man’. That’s either gross negligence or accessory to murder.

    A THOUGHGHFUL REPLY TO WRITERMAN…

    Writerman,

    I applaud you for your truly humanitarian sentiments:-

    ” Terre Blanche was a deluded, primitive, brutal man. A man with odious views on “race” and the primacy of the white race. His views were so extreme he was almost a parody of a white racist. But for all that I wouldn’t have wished the man dead, beaten with a club and slashed with a machete. Call me old-fashioned, but I just don’t support senseless violence, murder, targeted killings, capital punishment; I think we should strive to make the use of violence, less, not more acceptable. ”

    Yes, indeed if we are going to be noble and humane, then there is much in what you say. However, is there not a sort of Platonic justice as well in the sense of each man getting his just deserves, and isn’t our varying reactions not also a reflection of our humanity as we express it? Contrast:-

    Martin Luther being asked about whether peaceful protest would have been the answer to Hitler’s savagery, and accepting that violence and war became necessary in those circumstances.

    Change just one name in your views, as expressed:-

    ” TerreBlanche ( To: Adolph Hitler – now read on) – was a deluded, primitive, brutal man. A man with odious views on “race” and the primacy of the white race. His views were so extreme he was almost a parody of a white racist. But for all that I wouldn’t have wished the man dead, beaten with a club and slashed with a machete ( or dead in his bunker – as the case may be). Call me old-fashioned, but I just don’t support senseless violence, murder, targeted killings, capital punishment; I think we should strive to make the use of violence, less, not more acceptable.”

    Maybe his murderers were simply directing the very violence that anyone of their hue were “deserving of”, and in a most brutal way he got his “just deserves”. Primitive thinking, yes, in a sense, yet we feel different way s about different human beings ?” don’t we ?” be this Terre Blanche or Adolph Hitler. One emotional size does not fit all human wearers ?” in a manner of speaking.

    While I too want less violence in the world, less armaments, less nuclear weapons, less religious tensions, less racial and ethnic hatreds and a lot less of all the attitudes that drive us to conflicts, violence and war – sometimes even with those humane concerns at heart – I must be honest and say – I am more happy than saddened when those who promote such violence are no longer with us.

    Comparing TerreBlanche to Adolf Hitler is, I think a bit over-the-top, to put it mildly.

    Whilst I’m not a pacifist, coming from a very warlike “clan”, I simply recoil at senseless violence. I think this individuals brutal murder was sordid, pathetic really. A crass and barbarous way to settle a dispute about unpaid wages, surely not worth anyones life, long prison sentences and young lives ruined and wasted?

    How did TerreBlanche “deserve” to die exactly? Whilst he preached for a form of racial seperation based on delusion and mythology, does this excuse his murder over a trifle like unpaid wages?

    We don’t, as yet, know very much about the facts of this case, yet already people are putting it into a context, a wider context, which I don’t believe holds water. It was a banal crime of a type that is all too prevalent in South Africa. Only TerreBlanche’s minor celebrity status makes this lastest act of senseless violence interesting and newsworthy.

We celebrate his death and his eternal damination because of his white supremcist beliefs as well as his beliefs in Black inferiority. We don’t appose him because of his race, but because of his racism.

    And we apose Zionism and Zionists for the same reason.

    The only difference between this dead Nazi and the Zionist settlers in Israel, is the Zionist settlers in Israel are still doing what this dead Nazi used to.

    Here is an example of intimidation by ‘Big Brother’ with threats of death, probably by head shots after ‘suspecting’ a persons identity.

    A policy approved by the Conservatives in line with their pre-emption directives.*

    *See Conservation white paper on security and foreign policies.

    http://tinyurl.com/death-to-all-muslims

    “If Dannatt’s comments are a reflection of the thinking in the Conservative party, it is yet further confirmation of their following the ideologues and architects of the ‘war on terror’ in Washington, and an indication that David Cameron’s Conservatives would be committing themselves to an almost perpetual war against the political aspirations of the Muslim world ?” to move towards a greater role for Islam in governance and a greater move to shed the shackles of colonialism, both of which are represented in the aspiration for the return of the Caliphate.”

    Be warned – what Dannatt decrees Chris Grayling follows.

    Forget all the political bickering, the ‘big picture’ amounts to control in the Middle East and beyond – Cameron has pledged to the Conservative Friends of Israel this:

    “Prominent members of the Zionist community are playing a major role in financing David Cameron’s bid for power…”

    “Chief among his financial backers are Poju Zabludowicz, billionaire chairman of Bicom…”

    “A former aide to Tory leader David Cameron is to play a major role in a pro-Israel campaign being launched by Bicom, the British Israel Communications and Research Centre…”

    “The Jerusalem Post, informed us that the Conservative Opposition leader David Cameron was a believer in Zionism, the political ideology behind the Jewish state of Israel, and the ideological framework behind its crimes. The Jerusalem Post writes:

    “I am a Zionist,” Conservative Party leader David Cameron told an audience of party supporters of Israel in London.

    The link between Elvis, Conservatives and AIPAC.

    Not much was reported from the speech by David Cameron at the CFI lunch at the Dorchester Hotel last June. I asked, “what caused Cameron and his mass of MPs and parliamentary candidates to flock to the Friends of Israel lunch in the year of the Gaza invasion? My question was never answered so I decided to investigate myself. Here are my findings and I hope a better idea of the direction of British foreign policy under the Conservative Party.

    The pro-Israeli lobby in Britain.

    Do they have influence? – very much so if by crawling through the threats of anti-semitism you can gain information.

    Influence for instance that caused a BBC’s Trust report on Jeremy Bowen in his reporting of the massacre in Gaza last year. Another complaint by Jonathan Turner of the Zionist Federation lead to the Beebs refusal to broadcast the Disasters Emergency Committee Gaza appeal. The Beebs refusal to screen an aid appeal from Britain’s top charities for the people of Gaza, resulting in millions of pounds less money being raised to help children impoverished in Gaza.

    Then our British Broadcasting channel refused to disclose a report by Malcolm Balen into its Middle East coverage which cost of hundreds of thousands of pounds to the licence fee payer. An FOI revealed the Beeb had spent over a quarter of a million pounds on legal fees relating to the case – Nice eh? – your hard earned license cash!

    To achieve this powerful influence MORE THAN 50% of the Conservative cabinet are members of the Conservative Friends of Israel! An inside track tells me that when the Conservatives assume power they will formulate a foreign policy to attack Iran and steal her resources! Yes, another Iraq massacre in the offering straight from the whispers of Robert Halfon the CFI’s operational brain.

    http://conservativehome.blogs.com/platform/2007/06/robert_halfon_t.html

    We recently heard on the BBC, donations for the Conservative Party come from ‘big business’ – Yes from board members of the CFI made through their companies, or the CFI itself!

    Over the past three years the CFI has flown over thirty Conservative parliamentary candidates to Israel on free trips together with their families.

    The CFI played an influential role in stiffening the Conservative Party’s opposition to the UN resolution based on the Goldstone Report into the Israeli attack on Gaza.

    How has the Beeb been affected by this powerful lobby?

    A Beeb documentary about its nuclear weapons entitled “Israel’s Secret Weapon” shown on BBC World was critised by Israel calling it, “the worst of Nazi propaganda”…

    Richard Sambrook employed Malcolm Balen, a former head of ITV News and senior BBC executive, to write the now infamous Balen Report on the BBC’s Middle East coverage post 9/11 and the Iraq war. The result of this was the Andrew Gilligan sting/setup that got rid of the BBC governers and replaced them with pro-Israel ‘Trustees’ – notice the difference?

    Thus in April 2009, Jeremy Bowen, was criticised by the BBC Trust for breaching their rules of accuracy and impartiality in an online piece, and their rules of accuracy in a radio piece. Indeed a win for the CFI lobby!

    BICOM, the Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre, is Britain’s major pro-Israel lobby. Founded in 2001 as an equivalent to America’s hugely influential AIPAC, it is bankrolled by its Chairman Poju Zabludowicz, a Finnish billionaire and former arms dealer. Over the past three years Zabludowicz has given over two million pounds in donations.

    Zabludowicz’s father, provided the IDF with artillery for its Gaza campaign and owns property in the illegal West Bank settlements.

    Zabludowicz, impressed by Cameron, transferred £15,000 through his British subsidiary Tamares Real Estate Investments to help his rise to power and Bicom finances Conservative propaganda against Iran (Psycho Doomsday is Nigh) while directing damaging journalistic articles away from Palestine.

    Oh I forgot to mention: Mr Feldman, who impersonates Elvis Presley in his spare time had a fortunate escape from prosecution for tax fraud. But his latest business venture (the Leader Club where for £50,000, donors get access to Mr Cameron) may turn out to be a high-profile heartbreak hotel.

    Of course Shulamit Aloni and many others who complain about the actions of the Israel government are Zionists as well in that they believe in the continued existence of the State of Israel. This is not an argument for the abolition of the State of Israel but for a fundamental change in its behaviour.

    Those maybe the views of that Zionist, but not of this AntiZionist.

    Israel is by Nature a Nazi state, Removing the Nazism will be by definition removing the Zionism.

    If there was no racism, Israel will stop existing. Palestinians already have a majority between the river and the sea.

    To including all those that were ethnically cleansed, raises their number to 12 000 000.

    So Israel isn’t a democracy, if it ever became a democracy it would stop being a Jewish state. Because of the Palestinian majority.

    Jews have the right to return to German and reclaim the lands and houses stolen by the Nazi. Palestinians have as much right to go to where they were kicked out from and reclaim what was taken by them. If Israel doesn’t give them this right, Unlike Germany, Israel is still a Nazi state.

    MJ,

    Yes, I know what “semitic” means thank you and in no way canit be called anti-semitic to post pictures of Hamas and Hizbollah striking fascistic poses unless you do it approvingly.

    Just out of interest, do I take it that not one “anti-Zionist” gets the slightest amount of discomfort looking at kids being paraded in suicide vests or goose-stepping para-military organizations making Nazi salutes?

    Is it considered some kind of necessary evil? I.E something you would normally be horrified by but somehow you rationalize away as quite “okay”?

    Arsalan,

    If you think that Israel is a fascistic country in which it treats its minority citizens like the Amalekites then how come Israeli Arabs and Muslims have far greater rights there then they do in the rest of the Middle East? How is it you can wag your finger at Israeli democracy when none exists outside it (except very truncated forms in Lebanon and Iran)?

    I’m glad you are at least honest in saying the only solution that will satisfy you is the complete destruction of Israel. At least you’re honest. It seems that none of your supporters admit that they want Israel’s complete dismemberment. Maybe I should ask them, what do you think Clark, MJ, Mary, Mark Golding, Suhayl Saadi, dreolin?

    Do you agree that only the destruction of Israel can bring peace?

    Do you support the destruction of Israel?

    Arsalan, you talk about Jews having the “right to return to Germany” assuming that Germany is their natural home and that all Jews began there. This conveniently forgets the yishuv who were already living in Palestine. It also forgets the Jews who lived in Cairo (until they were turfed out), Tripoli (until they were turfed out) and Baghdad (until they were turfed out). Are you able to grant them a right to return to those places and can you guarantee their safety once scattered “to the four winds” as Galloway might say?

    Could you confirm that those Jews who can prove a lineage that goes further back than, say, Yasser Arafat in Palestine won’t be subject to second class citizenship under Hamas? No, because you couldn’t even guarantee that for Arab and Muslim Israelis who live there now.

    So, how about it. Given that this issue animates so many of you to the point of obsession. What do you see as the solution to this problem? Or are you just striking poses too?

    Angrysoba,

    I asked you months ago about your position on Israel. You avoided answering. I asked you privately by e-mail; your answers were contradictory. I said that I believed that you had deceived me, and you claimed to have no idea what I was talking about.

    I really think that it is time that you declared your interest.

    Angrysoba, I have no idea what the least disruptive answer is. I think that the setting up of Israel was an incredibly destructive act. I would call it stupid too, but I suspect that all the death and suffering caused has helped line someone’s pockets, and in fact they were very clever.

    What I do know about the search for a solution is that it is in no way helped by people acting as you have been, by having an agenda that they do all they can to hide, while attempting to discredit humane and courageous people such as Craig, simply because he does not support Israel’s expansionism. You do not gain yourself allies by this method.

    And Zionists could stop trying to distort our media and run our government, too.

  129. Clark

    Angrysoba,

    sorry, I got a bit cross there, but I have found you to be deceptive, and that upsets me. The whole topic of Israel is so polarised that it is difficult to think clearly about it. Honesty has to be the first step. It’s time I went to bed. Goodnight.

    Angrysoba: “no way canit be called anti-semitic to post pictures of Hamas and Hizbollah striking fascistic poses unless you do it approvingly”.

    What is a “fascistic pose”? Sticking your hand in the air? Come on. The issue is whether Hamas and Hizbollah are fascist organisations. Obviously they’re not. Essentially they’re resistance organisations.

    “do I take it that not one “anti-Zionist” gets the slightest amount of discomfort looking at kids being paraded in suicide vests or goose-stepping para-military organizations making Nazi salutes?”

    I find it very disturbing and I’d be surprised if there was anyone here who didn’t. But I don’t know what your real point is. That all Muslims are fanatical psychopaths? That all Arabs are? That Palestinians don’t deserve their own country back because they’re just savages? (Maybe if they had Apache helicopters and could cruise round Tel Aviv picking off random Israelis from a distance they would seem more civilised). I would remind you that in the Warsaw Ghetto the Jewish resistance perpetrated some pretty blood-curdling atrocities against the German occupiers. I don’t recall anyone suggesting they should have been denied a homeland because of this.

    “Is it considered some kind of necessary evil? I.E something you would normally be horrified by but somehow you rationalize away as quite “okay”?”

    It’s what happens when powerless people take on the state military machine. Just like the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto.

    “It seems that none of your supporters admit that they want Israel’s complete dismemberment”.

    Since you ask my view I accept the existence of Israel as a fait accompli. Most of its citizens were born there. No-one is proposing a Stern Gang or Irgun style ethnic cleansing. If there is to be a two-state solution then I think it has to be along the lines of the several UN resolutions, ie the 1967 borders. Nothing less. I think the rest of the world should enforce this, as vigorously as it did the expulsion of Iraq from Kuwait.

    There is a lot to be said however for a single state solution where Jews and Palestians co-habit as equals. Not called Israel, not “The Jewish State”, but just Palestine, as it used to be before the war.

    “Israeli Arabs and Muslims have far greater rights there then they do in the rest of the Middle East?”

    A rather sick joke. Unless you consider having your home being bulldozed down, or being forcibly confined in a vast outdoor concentration camp, or having your schools and hospitals routinely reduced to rubble to be inalienable “rights”.

    I know you call Israel a democracy, and I call it a Nazi state. Come to think of it, the two statements do not contradict.

    Israel can be both because Nazi Germany was both.

    Hitler was elected,l and the Israeli rulers are elected.

    But I still don’t agree that Israel is any sort of democracy, because Israel chooses who are allowed to vote to control the outcome of the elections.

    So when Israel was founded 80% of the Palestinians were killed or expelled, there by having their voting rights taken away.

    That is your democracy, one where the people who would vote against you are killed and expelled so you can win.

    Even though I disagree with you that Israel has turned in to the land of milk and honey for the few Arabs who weren’t expelled by the Nazi. You know as well as I do, the amounts Israel invest on the education of Arabs as compared to Jews, and the housing rules. Jew only towns and Jobs. I am not sure why you want to restrict the discussion to them?

    What about the rest of the Palestinians, the ones in the West Bank, Gaza and the ones that were kicked out completely.

    You consider Israel a democracy, American Iraq a democracy along with the millions of death and the 35% of children who are now orphans a democracy, and America’s Afghanistan a democracy.

    Take your democracy and shove it. If this is democracy, it is a good thing few countries have it.

    Very late to this discussion, but I was pretty shocked to see Craig’s initial response… I certainly didn’t feel jubilant when this news came through about the death of TerreBlanche.

    First things first, TerreBlanche was a neo-nazi. He headed a horrible white supremacist group, a group which came about because they felt in the 70s the apartheid government was going soft.

    The greatest danger with his death, as everyone from Jacob Zuma down has acknowledged, is that it is politicised, and TerreBlanche becomes something bigger than what he in fact was. I would imagine most South Africans, like myself, would simply want TerreBlanche to be buried without any fanfare, and for the accused to get a fair trial which doesn’t turn into a political circus.

    The AWB was and is a fringe group – it threatened to become more back in 93-94 when it was forging links with people like Constant Viljoen, who was a far more credible leader. But when Viljoen supported the democratisation of South Africa, the AWB were cut loose again. (Mandela by the way has a lot of time for Viljoen).

    For those of us who lived through the tensions generated by events such as the assassination of Chris Hani, the death of TerreBlanche brings back the the spectre of the cycle of violence that so many of us dread. I love my homeland deeply, and I continue to hold out hope for the future -but incidents like this are never a cause for celebration because of what sort of reprisals etc could follow.

    I also want to point out a little irony about pulling up a picture of the Sharpeville massacre – this was carried out by government security services, whose masters were incomparably more cynical and craven than TerreBlanche’s lot. You only need read through reports from the TRC (look for Vlakplaas, Dirk Coetzee and police death squads) to understand that the vast proportion of the violence perpetrated on black South Africans was sanctioned by the government, to whom the AWB were opposed.

    There is nothing commendable at all in TerreBlanche’s political views, but I have a grain of respect for his openness – the truly repugnant slice of Afrikaner South Africa is that which ran the country… PW Botha, FW de Klerk, Adriaan Vlok, Avril Malan, those are the most depraved scumbags from our recent history, TerreBlanche was more of a cartoonish figure who hopefully will remain that way.

    Angrysoba,

    I don’t know what ultimately should happen about Israel. However, I am sure that (1) I don’t wish my government to give support to Israel’s current behaviour and that (2) I want the media to stop being biased in Israel’s favour.

    However, I suspect that, given the influence of Israel’s supporters, and the fact that conflict makes money for the media and the military – industrial complex, the situation will be permitted (encouraged?) to deteriorate, ultimately forcing the sort of solution that Arsalan suggests.

    Such a scenario could prove to be an utter disaster for everyone, given Israel’s nuclear weapons.

    The Zionist white supremacist Terreblanche died while raping a black boy!

    SA police investigate sex link to Terreblanche killing

    One of the suspects in the Eugene Terreblanche murder case

    The suspects (one pictured here with face covered) were allegedly drunk

    South African police are investigating allegations of sexual assault prior to the killing of white supremacist leader Eugene Terreblanche.

    A lawyer for one of the two accused men said Terreblanche tried to have sex with at least one of the defendants.

    Mr Terreblanche’s body was found on a bed with his trousers pulled down.

    Police had initially said the killing was over a wage dispute, but are now exploring the possibility that the killing was an act of self-defence.

    “We are not going to focus on one thing,” said Musa Zondi of the Hawks, South Africa’s elite criminal investigation unit, which has taken over the investigation.

    “We will investigate all pertinent facts that have a bearing on the matter.”
