Speaking of Nazi/Israeli relations . . .
<<< In 1976 South Africa’s premier, John Vorster, paid a week-long visit to Israel. Vorster had been interned as a Nazi during the Second World War. A decade earlier Israel had executed the notorious Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann and Israel’s secret services were boasting their ability to capture further ex-Nazis. Now the Israeli government was publicly welcoming a former leading Nazi as an important guest. >>>

More on Vorster, one of the most vicious racists of the South African regime, and his grand reception by Israel:

In wining and dining Vorster, Prime Minister Rabin said to him:
"I believe our countries share the problem of how to build regional dialogue, coexistance, and stability in the face of foreign-inspired instability and recklessness. This is why we here follow with sympathy your own historic efforts to achieve detente on your continent, to build bridges for a secure and better future, to create coexistence that will guarantee a prosperous atmosphere of cooperation of all African peoples, without outside interfernce and threat."
In other words, we share the common goal of promoting a racist nation under onslaught from humanitarians around the world and local minorities. ANC = PLO.
This was immediately followed by Israel selling South Africa several gunboats, two dozen fighter jets, training South African military personnel in Israel, etc. In 1987, military trade between the two bastions of racism was estimated at $800 million annually. Further irony is that these Israeli weapons killed a number of Jewish anti-apartheid fighters. Business is business . . .
