COSATU Condemns Israel: Pot, Kettle, Black

The Congress of South African Trade Unions have called the Israeli air raids into Gaza “criminal”. COSATU want the South African government to break diplomatic ties with “Apartheid Israel” and is also calling for sanctions to be instituted against it.

Mainstream media, or the “ministry of lies” as the great Frank from Queens calls them, obviously fall over their own feet to broadcast their version of the truth, burning into our minds the images of wounded Palestine children being carried to hospital. Civilians are being shown as bearing the brunt of Israel’s “illegal” policy of “collective punishment”.

Don’t blink, or you’ll miss the Muslim Judicial Council (MJC), Media Review Network (MRN) and other South African Islamic groups jumping on the bandwagon.

COSATU have criticized the “balanced approach” of the South African government towards Israel and Palestine. They are told to learn lessons from the Apartheid struggle in South Africa. Policies developed in this era need to be drastically changed and South Africans have to boycott Israeli goods, since support for Israel is now proclaimed to be an “apartheid” action.

I have a few questions for these intellectuals based in that hub of crime, corruption, racial hatred, incompetence, anti-white hate speech and idiocy, to the rest of the world known as post-apartheid South Africa:

1) These air raids into Gaza – were they a retaliation of some sort, or did these Israelis just decide on some sunny day that this sounds like something to keep them busy with for a while?

2) Did the thought ever cross your mind (and I am making some assumptions here) that somewhere there are some Israeli children being carried to hospital?

3) Explain to me the concept of Israeli attacks being illegal and criminal, but the same actions from Palestine not being. Provided of course your answer to my first question wasn’t “just some sunny day”.

4) How come, whatever your answer to question 1 was (and sorry folks, this really isn’t a trick question), you call the actions of Israel illegal and criminal, but your big, fat, senile brother across the Limpopo border can exterminate a whole tribe, kill his own people due to utter incompetence over decades which resulted in a total breakdown of infrastructure and bash in the heads of his opposition party members and STILL he isn’t classed as a criminal in your books?

5) Exactly how are you qualified to categorise the actions of the Israeli nation as criminal? Is it because you yourself are so experienced at being criminal? I am just asking based on your wonderful track record and also that of your “brothers” in the ANC and the SA Communist Party. And please don’t tell me it is one of those cases where the Tripartite Alliance is neither tripartite nor an alliance – you can’t use this relationship when it suits you and hide it in the toilet when it is an embarrassment. Oh well, of course you can, but I don’t accept it – neither does any person with an IQ slightly higher than that of a carrot.

6) To these “religion of peace” supporters I actually have a statement rather than a question. You don’t qualify to call any other entity “criminal” or “illegal”. Not when you murder when it suits you in the name of your peaceful religion. You lost me at “hello”.

7) Even if you have by some miraculous sequence of celestial events managed to convince yourself that action against Israel is warranted, i.e. the policy changes and sanctions, how do you intend to convince the lesser carrots amongst us to authorise such actions when you veto every action demanded by those same lesser carrots against that dictator Mugabe? You see, the problem with dealing with lesser carrots is that they actually remember what happened the day before yesterday. Bummer, isn’t it?

And no, the title of my post really does not have any racial connotation to it. Just accept that from a lesser carrot.

    This is typical of COSATU, it’s really a Marxist front group and still carries psychological scars from the Apartheid years and thinks anything related to America is “racist” and no good.

    South Africa’s role in the matters is a pivotal one. Remember, shortly before 9/11/2001 there was a UN “anti-racism conference” in South Africa where the US and Israel were ganged up on and kicked out of the conference. Could be interesting times ahead.

    Who the hell is COSATU and why should anyone care about what they say?

    I do not think COSATU even knows the first thing about Israel. If Israel is so horribly racist, then how are there Arab MK’s in the Kenesset? How about that Arabs do not have to serve in the IDF? What about Israeli-Arabs going to the same universities as the Jewish ones or having the same access to health care? COSATU should learn about Israel before they go around saying that garbage and sounding like an idiot.

    @ Pete

    You have to realise that these people sound like idiots because they are idiots.

    Cosatu have strong ties with SA Communist Party and ANC, a corrupt, criminal bunch really only interested in their own gains. Typical left wing propaganda nonsense, anything or anybody that doesn’t bow down to their ideologies is being labelled racist.

    The fact that they are comparing Israel with apartheid South Africa is actually a give-away, since both these countries have actually been more accommodating to other groups and religions than most people would like to acknowledge, in South Africa’s case at least until 1994.

    Cosatu played a huge role in bringing apartheid South Africa to its knees, after the “racist” National party allowed them to operate as a union and the same “racist” apartheid government lifted the ban on the ANC.

    The left never acknowledges these little facts…

    Don’t blink, look south of the Limpopo and you’ll see a repeat of the tragedy which is Rhodesia.
