Gustave > ...and then draw a parallel between Israel's Palestinians and Zimbabwe's white farmers! The Palestinians could resettle in a DOZEN Arab countries --Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, you name it... yet they stubbornly stick to the Jews' ONLY homeland! Likewise, Zimbabwe's Anglo-Saxon white farmers could go and thrive in the white countries of Europe, the Americas, Australia, even Russia --but no, they won't budge! They cling to the lands they stole from native black Africans!! Perhaps Africans should resort to the same smear tactics as the Jews: those who oppose Robert Mugabe should be called racists --plain racists! Those who defend Zimbabwe's white farmers should be called racists: for they don't just hate Mugabe and his regime, NO: they hate ALL Africans! Worse still: they hate ALL black people! To be anti-Mugabe or anti-Zimbabwe is actually a devious, cunning way to cloak one's racism under an allegedly "political" pretense.... You must be a New York lawyer! Or else you wrote the script for them. You know the story perfectly. Blackmail and extortion in the disguise of "human rights" -- and then screw both parties. First, the alleged "beneficiary" of the "crime" ie the banks or multinationals and then the plaintiff who gets screwed twice -- first, by the alleged beneficiary and then by the lawyer who brings the case in his name, but for the material benefit of himself and some or other organization which has the "interests" of the "aggrieved people" at "heart" eg the Jewish National Fund or the African National Congress -- or a "trust" fund created just for the purpose of collecting the booty. dse.de >>Fagan calls his present involvement with the apartheid reparations case "a natural continuation" of the Nazi victim cases. He already made three working visits to South Africa as part of this collaborative effort with the country’s leading campaigner, Jubilee South Africa. Their case is against banks in Switzerland, Germany, France, England and the United States which profited from apartheid. "This is a winning case" says Fagan confidently, explaining "the financial institutions involved will create a fund, which will be in the tens of billions of US dollars to assist victims of apartheid". << And, naturally, he will be the trustee of that fund and therefore the biggest beneficiary of the "assistance". That's apart from his fees and other "expenses". What a win! Apartheid will live forever. mindfully.org commondreams.org
