'More died in SA than Lebanon'. news24.com >>Official opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) chief whip Douglas Gibson said it was remarkable that the South African parliament was able to debate the Middle East situation at a drop of a hat - and Intelligence Minister Ronnie Kasrils and Independent Democrats (ID) leader Patricia de Lille could call for sanctions against Israel - but there was no debate about the report of parliament's election observer mission to the troubled Zimbabwe. He said: "People are rightly horrified at the appalling tragedy of Qana, and Mr Kasrils and the Honourable De Lille call for sanctions against Israel. But they stay silent about 700 000 victims of Operation Murambatsvina - Operation clear up the Trash - in Zimbabwe. Why no demonstrations and why no sanctions there?" Gibson said: "The world was shocked at the loss of life in the 34 days of the war, with 1 110 killed. In those 34 days in South Africa 1 750 people were murdered, at a rate of 51 per day. "Those who express concern and outrage at these violent crimes are accused of being whingers and are invited to leave the country. Where the government and Minister Kasrils have the power to act, they do not." <<
