The “Palestinian” cause is fashionable among Leftist leaders and spokesmen worldwide. None of those Leftists appear to be aware, or to care, that the foundational principles and beliefs that motivate Muslims to take up that cause are inimical to their own interests. In this case, South African leaders are endorsing a cause that works directly against them, for the “Palestinian” jihadis, like all jihadis, believe that no government that does not enforce Sharia has any right to exist. These non-Muslim South African leaders would, in the ideal scenario favored by the “Palestinian” hunger strikers, be converted to Islam, subjugated under the hegemony of Sharia, or killed.
What’s more, a canonical hadith depicts Muhammad as buying black slaves, which means that it is permissible to do so under Islamic law: “Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) reported: There came a slave and pledged allegiance to Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) on migration; he (the Holy Prophet) did not know that he was a slave. Then there came his master and demanded him back, whereupon Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: Sell him to me. And he bought him for two black slaves, and he did not afterwards take allegiance from anyone until he had asked him whether he was a slave (or a free man).” (Muslim 3901)

Why does a South African want to support a group that claims it will practice APARTHEID from Jews? A group which has declared that no Jew will live in a Palestinian state?
Already no Jews are officially in Jordan, though some are there unadvertised for business reasons. Most Arab countries have made Jewish residents unwelcome.
Why would ANY South African support Muslims APARTHEID? Islam has a CANONICAL, ‘ESSENTIAL’ doctrine of APARTHEID called ‘AL WALAA WAL BARAA’. IT IS MORE SEVERE THAN THE FORMER APARTHEID IN SOUTH AFRICA!
Muslims must ‘HATE’ dirty kufaar ‘for the sake of Allah’.
Al Bughoud = Hatred of Kafirs for the sake of Allah, or Al Mu’adaat, this is the opposite of Al Muwalaat, it is:
– To Hate
– To keep distance from
– To be enemy to
– To desert
– To decline to help
– To disrespect
– To put down
– Not to ally with
– Not to support
Allah ordered us to have Baraa, from the kuffar and from kufr and shirk.
Berengaria says
You bet your life, the Affirmative Action GOV of South Africa will act in solidarity with the “Palestinians”.
The Corruption of Black Rule is just about the same as Muslim Rule, both are violent, ANTI-WHITE, ANTI-CHRISTIAN, & Both S.A. GOV & “Palestinian” GOV & are in favor of WHITE GENOCIDE & CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE.
If Only we had an ARMY that would destroy both of these FOUL MURDERING GROUPS.
Karen says
“Why does a South African want to support a group that claims it will practice APARTHEID from Jews?”
This is a very compelling point, and I would think that the South African’s would avoid a show of support here like the plague. Perhaps it’s just a blind spot; if someone were to make this point, they could very well change their minds.
mgoldberg says
Nelson Mandela wished Arafat ‘well, in your endeavors’, back in the day, when he was being a
terrorist. He knew quite well what Arafat represented. But the left never cares for uncomfortable facts.
Malcolm (South Afric)a) says
The intire South African government is a joke.
Politics will not cope with the issues that concern Islam.
If there is chaos in morality, our traditions, our culture, as a result of relativism, how in the world are we ever going to be unified in fighting a common cause.
I will leave it up to you genius to work that out.
Paul N Silas says
South Africa has been a Marxist state since the Reagan era.
The plan is to destroy Israel, which destroys the basis of our Christian faith. Because it is the Christian Faith which stops the spread of Marxism. This is also the reason why the Left is so married to Islam, an anti-Jewish, anti-Christian, political system hiding as a religion.
maghan says
South Africa has NEVER been a Marxist state. It has the highest Gini coefficient in Africa–along with Nambia–if the data is accurate.
Only that Ramaphosa is a very corrupt and cruel person. His phony embrace of so-called Palestinians just points to his stupidity. Just a phony trendist. Does he know the history of imperialist Islam and its savage invasions and conquests? No.
Rick Spencer says
Greetings from beautiful Cape Town, South Africa!
Mr Silas statement is very far from the truth. South Africa has never been a Marxist state. The Communist Party here is affiliated to the (very corrupt) ANC, but even it – the CP – cannot be branded as Marxist.
Despite widespread corruption by the Black pro-Zuma elite, South Africa is and has been a capitalist country… very much so!
The Muslim lobby in this country is much stronger than the Jewish lobby. I estimate that the former community totals about 1,500,000 whereas the latter total about 70,000.
However, in the political scenario, very few Muslims (mainly of Indian and Malaysian extraction) actually support US$ billionaire Cyril Ramaphoza and the ANC that he plays a major role within.
The ANC is currently in political trouble, hence this feeble ‘Ramadan’ attempt to win over the Muslim vote.
PS: Mining magnate Ramaphoza has blood on hands in respect of the Marikane massacre, which took place on August 16th, 2014.
Bruce Crichton says
South Africa is Marxist.
Lawrence says
Yes South Africa is very capitalist. Massive private industries and private farms. Big and small businesses abound. SA has always been an anti Semitic country. The National Party supported the Nazis in the 1930s. The ANC supports Hamas. Its corrupt president Zuma invited a senior Hamas terrorist to SA not that long ago. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Karen says
This is interesting. Yes, without Christianity, many dominoes begin to fall.
maghan says
A Marxist state is one where the WORKERS own and control “the means of production” and control the government through their WORKER representatives.
Steven RSA says
This is to be expected from South Africa, after all we allowed the terrorist Leila Khaled a visa to enter the country and denied the Dalai Lama a visa, so par for the course. In the case of Ramaphosa it is transparent vote pandering, and sadly he is the least of all the evils currently facing South Africa. All those do-gooders listed in the article should rather fast in solidarity with the tens of thousands of South Africans who deal with perpetual hunger daily, but that certainly would not be fashionable. South Africa (and Mozambique, where I recently saw newly constructed mosques in every settlement, no matter how insignificant, for 300km up the coast from Maputo) is being invaded by islam, and sadly most are ignorant of this or choose to ignore the fact. I visit many small towns across the country, and what were once thriving decent towns are now run-down filthy decaying shells of their former selves, as many former rural inhabitants have abandoned the area for the cities in hope of work. Consequently the towns die. These are ideal conditions for the invading Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Somalian and Tanzanian muslims (many of whom are genuine refugees who sadly bring their religious beliefs with them), to thrive, and in each of these towns where previously no mosque existed, one does exist today. Islam is physically occupying the rural and low-income economic and social vacuum created by the gangster communist ANC that is destroying South Africa.
Everard says
Well said!
Ronen says
I encourage them with all my heart to never succumb to hunger and fight until the happy end.
good luck with that!
David Barrett says
NOT TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT BUT TO STATE THE TRUTH – THESE PEOPLE ARE
THE LOWEST OF THE LOW IN IGNORANCE AND BIAS. NONE OF THEM SHOULD BE ALLOWED ANYWHERE NEAR THIS PART OF THE WORLD WITHOUT AN APOLOGY
De Doc says
Hahaha! As SA slides into a Zimbabwe styled dysfunctional African nation, it’s political elite can only resort to fasting for Palestine. And I’m sure it’s akin to the same hunger strike that the snowflakes at Yale proposed, where they are only ate when hungry.
Karen says
They only ate when hungry? That’s hysterical. 🙂
There was a JW article the other day (May 9th) about a Palestinian (Marwan Barghouti), whose’s been leading a hunger strike in an Israeli prison. He was just filmed sneaking cookies, hilarious.
Voice of truth says
Will they also be eating Israeli chocolate wafers in the toilet to show their identification with Barghouti?
John A. Marre says
These “leaders” can’t think past the statement: “Muslims and Blacks are both NOT WHITE!”.
jewdog says
Many Jews knocked themselves out campaigning against apartheid only to see a new government arise which champions a bunch of genocidal jihadists. Poetic injustice.
Chris Malan says
No, jewdog, it’s poetic justice. Most of those Jews who campaigned against apartheid left when it was clear apartheid was going to end or soon after it ended. They all belonged to the PFP (Progressive Federal Party) which was said to really stand for Packing for Perth. You are talking of the most dispicable hypocrites. South Africa now has the black majority rule they campaigned for, so one would expect them to stay there or go back. There is nothing as dispicable as a liberal hypocrite. Liberal hypocrite is really a tautology.
Sarah says
From what I understand, South Africa is getting mighty close, once more, to tearing itself apart.
Perhaps that idiot Zuma, should worry less about madly ripping off his nation for his own gain and less about the so-called ‘plight’ of a bunch of Arabs who have determinedly caused the issues they are facing, for the most part – and worry far, far more about the sickening mess his nation is in.
His legacy will wind up being a bloodstain on the wall if he’s not careful. As usual, the problems seen in South Africa are the same problems seen across the African continent and most of the Islamic nations around the globe. Crime is out of control, there are a tonne of young men loitering around with a hopeless view to the future, due to a lack of employment, just packed to the brim with hormone’s, energy and displaced anger – and of course, the classic chestnut – Corruption. Lots and lots and lots and lots of corruption.
Then there are the issues that South Africa never managed to fix, ever. The HIV/AIDS epidemic. The cultural issues behind it that cause that epidemic. The systemic tribal violence and conflict. The fact that a huge number of South Africans STILL live in extreme poverty and face food insecurity at best, starvation at worst. They have energy shortages like most of the 3rd world and struggle with getting basic clean drinking water to people. When you cannot provide reliable power grids and drinking water for all – you know your nation is a hot mess.
Despite all of this, despite the myriad of serious problems facing South Africa and its inept government under Zuma – they choose instead to wade into the Israel/Palestine conflict? Way to issue out some propaganda to distract the people from what you’re up to, Zuma and Co.
I would say that the average South African is probably more concerned about getting access to electricity, to food and water, to a job that pays enough to live on and to see an end to the chronic violence – far more than caring about a religious battle across the planet between the Arabs and the Jews. They probably worry more about the racism that still plagues their nation today.
And oh the irony that South Africa picks the side of the Palestinians. Or, to be more clear, the native South Africans who are in power are calling for solidarity with the Arabs in Palestine. Projecting much?
For God’s sake. Your nation is embarrassing. Its a mess. Its a disgrace. And you’re 3 steps from fresh civil war breaking out again. That should be your focus, NOT kissing the butt’s of a bunch of hostile Arabs who are braying for the genocide of all of the Jews and the destruction of the state of Israel.
Chris Malan says
Civil war between which groups? No, you are mistaken. There are no groups squaring off against each other for civil war. South Africa is just another African basket case. The decline of African countries under self rule is one of the more predictable things on this planet. Look at the statistics in the CIA online Factbook. So far, there has been no coming back from the decline.
Larry A. Singleton says
Read a brilliant book about South Africa: Into the Cannibal’s Pot by Ilana Mercer. Really, this is a great and informative book. It did for me about South Africa the same way the booklet Occupy Wall Street: The Communist Movement Reborn by David Horowitz and John Perazzo did for me on the “Occupy” movement. Totally woke me up.

In the sixties, seventies and eighties the West supported these terrorists. So did many Jews. Serves them all right. Hypocrites.
