SA defence minister Ronnie “Cowboy” Kasrils has been the South African government torch bearer during their ongoing anti-Israel tirade. Yesterday he stood up and made yet another speech in Parliament to support the ANC led (everybody else rejected it) resolution through parliament. Most of his speech was laughably inaccurate but I thought I’d share this particularly funny part:
“The biblical narrative was evoked to proclaim Palestine as the Promised Land reserved exclusively for God’s “chosen people” and their civilising mission. It sounds all too familiar as a vision the Voortrekkers had in this country. It gives rise to racism, apartheid and a total onslaught on those who stand in your way, whether blacks or Arabs or Red Indians.“
Somebody really should tell our bumbling minister that the term “Red Indians” is a pejorative saying only used in the USA by rascists. Not only did he make this speech in our supposedly politically correct and non-rascist parliament but the speech is on the South African Government Information official site here.
I would have thought that with Mugabe as our next door neighbour and crime raging out of control he has more important and relevant things to worry about than making an arse of himself yet again.
Of course, bringing down the Jews is more important to the ANC government. Until influential South Africans (read middle class) take an actual and active interest in politics the current government will never be held accountable for ignoring the crime problem or the failure of our dithering foreign policy on the ruins called Zimbabwe.
