South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma is calling on South Africans not to visit Israel in order to show solidarity with “the people of Palestine”, the Africa News website reported Sunday.

Zuma’s comments came at the 105th anniversary celebration of the ruling African National Congress (ANC), during which he reiterated the party’s solidarity with the “oppressed people of the world”, citing “Palestine” as an example.

“The people of Palestine continue to suffer in their rightful quest for self-determination … We reiterate that we firmly discourage travel to Israel for causes not related to fostering peace in the region,” Zuma was quoted as having said in a speech heard by thousands of party supporters. …

Funny how Marxists don’t see themselves as oppressors.

Thank you for your travel advice, but South Africa is one place I’ll never visit. Israel is better and more historic.

I say don’t visit South Africa because of the treatment of the minorities in Fredonia.

Captain Spaulding can only hold the line so long.

He should take care of his own dangerous country and not worry about Palestinians.

An absolutely gorgeous place gone to hell.

DON’T VISIT SOUTH AFRICA!

South Africa is no longer safe. Whites are often treated as second class citizens. Way too many blacks walking around with open weapons in South Africa. It is headed back to the days of being a 3rd world nation.

I’ve known too many people that have had to move from South Africa. Don’t go. It is unsafe.

I have always wondered if people in the Western World ... Especially folks of Jewish descent .... who always side with the Muslim world and the Palestinians ....

.... What do they do when the read the story of .... or watch the movie "The Ten Commandments" ..... Do they actually cheer on the Pharaoh and the Egyptians? .... I really believe that they really have no Idea about the stance they are taking on these matters.

.... They are vapid Useful Idiots for the Cause of Islamic Supremacy of all nations.

The world’s vile evil hatred of Israel will continue to grow in the next few years now that the back stabbing president has given the world the green light to discriminate against Israel

Well, given that the ANC are communists, they certainly want to push their formerly first-world nation into second world status. Not that the second world was too far removed from the third, anyway.

Capital idea, old chap. Israel will be a far more pleasant place to visit if your people stay away.

No, not really. Israel was an early critic of apartheid after South Africa left the British Commonwealth. They would probably not have had any kind of relationship with South Africa if the other (proto-communistic/Islamic) African countries had not rejected their overtures of relationship, which necessitated a strategic relationship on the part of both countries.

SA and Israel collaborated on their nuclear programs, and IIRC Israel detonated a nuke off the coast od SA once.

And these are the people liberal American Jews have supported for decades. They actually believed that the Israelis were the ANC of the Middle East and that Arafat was Ian Smith. (They also thought they were being consistent when they supported both Israel and Ho Chi Minh, btw.)

Idiots.

My friends from South Africa say that there is not a single family they know that has not had muggings and house invasion and gun injuries from urban terrorists. I saw for myself the fact that every private home and bed and breakfast has prison-like iron gates on every window, plus iron fences surrounding them.
