No Comparison

South African Intelligence Minister Ronnie Kasrils has rejected the comparison between South Africa’s apartheid and Israel’s policies designed to protect her citizens from terrorism.

Believe it or not, he is claiming apartheid was not nearly as bad.

Intelligence Minister Ronnie Kasrils on Thursday accused Israel of conducting a policy against the Palestinians that was “worse” than apartheid.

Speaking on the sidelines of a UN meeting on the situation in the Palestinian territories, Kasrils said South Africa’s townships had never been attacked by helicopter gunships and tanks, in contrast to the military means employed by Israel.

“The analogy between apartheid and Israel’s occupation of Palestine is often made. It is not the same thing. The occupation is absolutely worse,” Kasrils told reporters.

South African based blogger Steve has much more on the Jewish Kasrils.

Meanwhile, I would like to remind Kasrils that despite his outright support for Hamas, as a Jew, he falls under article 7 of the Hamas charter:

“The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews.” (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem).”

And as far as I can see, there is no “useful tool” exemption clause.
