  • It was sad, I may be wrong but this is what I was told in school (post Apartheid), Apartheid was a racial classification system, so Indians and Coloureds (mixed race) were rated like second rate citizens and Blacks or Africans were classified as the lowest basically a third rate citizen. There were 7 classifications, white being one and 7 being black, our new IDs everyone is rated 8 now. So this allowed a system of animosity between Blacks and Indians since they were treated differently, Indians for example were able to get better work and residential areas compared to blacks, still nowhere near as nice as whites.

    Unfortunately it made Indians an easy target, since they do not have the army or police protect them for the most part, and at least violent outbursts from angry Blacks can be directed to Indians and not Whites.

    We read the white owned petrol stations looked the other way when selling paraffin for example during these times, most likely knowing what it will be used for.

    FYI I may be wrong, this is just what I learned in highschool so there is most likely errors and bias, I did not grow up during Apartheid so I wasn’t there. Please read up from more accurate sources. Please feel free to to correct me






  • Not defending Israel, just this was about Hamas and the mayor saying he does not support them. I give you my reasoning why I agree with his view. I like how you attack me, the messenger, as if you know anything about me. But this isn’t about me, probably my mistake to try and find comparisons from my own life, but I know better now.

    I really do hope the Palestinian people get to have peace and prosper, really hope they can have like what we in SA did and live in harmony together. Thank fuck we had Mandela and de Klerk that was able to negotiate peace and lead us to a constitutional democracy.

    But I will not support Hamas personally, nor Netenyau’s government, hopefully both sides(Palestine and Israel) can get leaders such as ours that can work together. I really hope for everyone there they find a way to live together.

    Otherwise this is my last comment on this thread, not gonna waste more of my time, I do not want to change your opinion nor would I want you to change your opinion, we both can have our own valid opinions. So cheers and my not a drop of blood be further spilled on either side




  • Glad we could justify the killing of a “baby” because America has killed more, at least 20. Nazi’s also killed a couple of Jewish babies, what is just one more, it’s not like Hamas target this specific baby, kidnapped the baby, refused to hand it back if it was really an error, not keep the baby as a hostage until the baby finally died of “natural death”.

    People it was a single baby, please support Hamas because not supporting them, even if the justifiably killed one baby (and not 20 if it was the USA), is basically not supporting Palestine and its people whom these acts of Hamas, like killing one tiny baby, are done in the Palestinian people’s name.
