| The ultimate ... ( 8 months ago by stuffupthecracks) |
| The ultimate justification for all inhumanity: GOD. Saves all the bother of constructing reasonable arguments to support what is in reality only your humble opinion. Give it that old time religious justification and boogie till the cows come home. While we're, how about some flaming crosses or other such symbols a burnin' on the lawn. That's right, lets jackboot our way through the new millennium singing hymns in praise of HIM. PACE. |
| You are so right. ... ( 8 months ago by magickmatt138) |
| You are so right. The Palestinians or the South African Blacks couldn't run a lemonade stand-without huge subsidies that are then given to their cohorts, then they blame whitey for past colonial rule and demand more money. |

| I agree 100% stuffup. It's the 21st century you can't use the God excuse anymore. |
| Sorry just in case ... ( 8 months ago by urlocalSAVAGE) |
| Sorry just in case you didn't know, God doesn't exist, and doing something because of God is rarely a good idea. That was thousands of years ago in biblical time, irael belongs to the palestinians. |
| Thanks ... ( 8 months ago by stuffupthecracks) |
| Thanks urlocalSAVAGE, I concur entirely. Moreover: "Religion is an insult to human dignity; without it you would have good people doing good things & evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things it takes religion". Steven Wienberg, Physicist & Noble Laureate. PACE. |

| This guy spends very little time telling of the horrors the usa committed on its native populations, while preaching to the rest of the world |
| South Africa was ... ( 7 months ago by malayslav) |
| South Africa was safe and prosperous for whites not for everybody. You Dutchman are so stupid that the Government was forced to institute affirmative action for white afrikaners because the Jews were getting all the jobs. |
| Jews and Muslims ... ( 7 months ago by malayslav) |
| Jews and Muslims always lived in peace in Palestine. Only when the British declared the state of Israel for their own purposes did the trouble start (Balfour Declaration 1923 - 11/09/1923). Remember you were all calling Mandela a terrorist and now you can go wash his feet. No white South African achieved close to what he has and the only reason white South Africans have a prosperous country today is because of them benefitting from Apartheid and Black Sweat. |
| Remember you came ... ( 7 months ago by malayslav) |
| Remember you came here with nothing, as convicts with Jan Van Riebeck and married Bushmen and created the Afrikaner Nation, stole land from bushmen and blacks, raped the country of its minerals and now you wanna condemn the ANC. I hope Zuma takes revenge on you white pathetic racists |
| So you feel that ... ( 7 months ago by ksalvage) |
| So you feel that affirmative action on behalf of a group in indicative of the group's stupidity? Wow... what a racist statement. |

| the fact is that israel has 1mn arabs and christians living within irsael freely that isn't apartheid. they were forced to build a wall to prevent suicide bombers and it has remarkably worked. look at what has happened since... palestinains are fighting themselves fatah vs hamas they can't even coexist peacefully between their own religion. arabs treat women like dirt and the koran allows them by religious mandatetobeatupwomen. where as israelisademocracysurroundedby countriesthatwanttodesrroyit |
| israel a democracy? ... ( 5 months ago by globaltrooper) |
| israel a democracy??? thats the biggest joke i heard in a long time, israel is the most racist apartheid state since south africa, they steal land and ethnically cleanse palestinian natives daily, they destroy their agriculture and shoot innocent palestinian children with a pretext of security for themselves. Gaza, west bank and east jerusalem are virtually prisons for palestinians, even though it is their own land. Israel the terrorist regime will fall,and the zionists will fail,entailing peace |

| Jews practice what the nazis did on them... people turn a blind eye to it... whatever. I'm not a sucker for what goes on, as for South Africa wait until the white man is totally out of the picture and see where that country goes from there. |
| Actually the number ... ( 3 months ago by HassanFarooqishere) |
| Actually the number is only 1 million because most of them were kicked out, if it were not for apartheid styled goverment Isreal would have a very big muslim/arab community |
| Actually despite ... ( 3 months ago by tubezillauk) |
| Actually despite their policies they do follow the rule of law and are therefore, a democracy which has separate bodies such as the Parliament (Knessett)which is the legislature, the judiciary, the prime minister's office all which check the powers of one anoother and hold each other accountable therefore a working democracy. Jews have never attempted systematic genocide only 20000 palestinians have been killed since the conflict and 7000 Jews b(Amnesty International). |
| There are ... ( 2 months ago by kotxvx) |
| There are differences between the coutries listed. South Africa is unique in the appalling treatment of blacks during apartheid. The whites who live in SA have a more stable right to live there than the Israelis do. This makes Israeli security more important. Whites in South Africa are accepted as coevals, they belong there. This applies to a lot of the others, but the Israelis are there just because there was literally no where else to put them, literally no one else(even US,UK,EU) wanted them |
| An amazing omission ... ( 2 months ago by kotxvx) |
| An amazing omission to this discussion is Zimbabwe; what was formerly known as Rhodesia. All too often, American commentators, especially black ones, leave out this glaring example of a settler state. This one is more extreme than South Africa, America, and even Israel, because it is so young, less than 100 years old. This is more dangerous than the others because it truly is an IKEA flat-pack put-up-a-tent make $1billion then go home country. The economic players can easily fold up and go to UK |

| israel has democracy only whiin jews, when it comes to palestinians they are using a taktik to make as much instability and bring fear to the palestinians home untill the basicly get enogh and leave, that is why israel have many political agremants about imigrating palestinians to europe and other countrys, by akcepting to many palestinians you are basicly duing the zionest a fawer |
| Listening to M. ... ( 2 months ago by weathergirlori) |
| Listening to M. Fletcher made me giggle. The comparison between Apartheid era S.A. and modern day Israel cannot be made at all. And all of you commentators who diss Israeli democracy should get your facts straight. If Israel is not democratic, how can Arabs sit in the Israel Parliament as full members? How could Arabs vote, own land, and businesses inside Israel? They can because they are citizens in a democratic land. Mr. Fletcher's hatred towards Jews is horrible and typical of the uber-left. |
| In Israel it is ... ( 1 month ago by otakuwf) |
| In Israel it is about race. Ashkenazi minority on to, Separdic and Mizrahi jews in the middle, east asian and black jews towards the bottom and finally palestinian whether moslem or christian on the very bottom. The Ashkenazi are not religious the are secular/athiest marxist/communist from east europe. Where is Ariel Sharon's yarmalke? He does not wear one because he does not beleive in god but calls hime self jewish. |
