There Are More Dutch People In South Africa Than The USA, Germany etc by Nobody: 12:44am On May 01, 2019
There are more Dutch people in South Africa than USA, Germany, France, Switzerland, Belgium combined


THE DUTCH PEOPLE.

Dutch people are a Germanic ethnic group native to the Netherlands.
They share a common culture and speak the Dutch language. Dutch people and their descendants are found in migrant communities worldwide, notably in Aruba, Suriname, Guyana, Curaçao, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, and the United States The Low Countries were situated around the border of France and the Holy Roman Empire, forming a part of their respective peripheries, and the various territories of which they consisted had become virtually autonomous by the 13th century. Under the Habsburgs, the Netherlands were organised into a single administrative unit, and in the 16th and 17th centuries the Northern Netherlands gained independence from Spain as the Dutch Republic. The high degree of urbanization characteristic of Dutch society was attained at a relatively early date.[23] During the Republic the first series of large-scale Dutch migrations outside of Europe took place.

The Dutch have left behind a substantial legacy despite the limited size of their country. The Dutch people are generally seen as the pioneers of capitalism, and their emphasis on a modern economy, secularism, and a free market ultimately had a huge influence on the great powers of the West, especially the British Empire, its Thirteen Colonies, and ultimately the United States.

The traditional arts and culture of the Dutch encompasses various forms of traditional music, dances, architectural styles and clothing, some of which are globally recognizable. Internationally, Dutch painters such as Rembrandt, Vermeer and Van Gogh are held in high regard. The dominant religion of the Dutch was Christianity (both Catholic and Protestant), although in modern times the majority are no longer religious. Significant percentages of the Dutch are adherents of humanism, agnosticism, atheism or individual spirituality.

Right of Conquest allows you to assume or appropriate the identity of your captors. They can be anything they choose to be if they have one drop of an ancient peoples gene pool....Jew, Native America, pacific islander, aboriginal, etc but you try claiming their identity and you will see hell break loose. Case in point a British black person with hundreds of generations in Europe is not mistaken ever for a European. Hmmmm

Well they trace their roots there to the 1600's? But if was any of them I would leave if I could. Guessing anyone with money has put that money off shore somewhere and has moved or has plans to.

Britain and France created Israel, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Palestine after WW1. The Jews made the country modern first worldish. All of this area was part of the Ottoman Empire prior to WW1 for a very long time.

It is about "A " but you are talking about "B".

Who owns the land ? The Palestinians.
You took it away by force, pretending to be Jews ?
Europeans.!

Jews lived in Israel before "Palestine" ever existed. Palestine is a name given, as a pejorative, by the Roman Empire. Maybe it should go back to Rome/Italy control? Who is you? I never took a country from anyone and I am not European.

Yes and they move once they feel they have lost. Its easy for them to move or transfer their capitalist derived wealth to "white" citadels or enclaves established globally.

You see then, they aren't S. African or African for that matter, just an extension of a world order established to control resources in any given geographical area for the benefit of a so called "peoples"

Why don't they stay and fight. They are 'African" right? Then they will turn around and scorn multitudes of real Africans crossing the seas hoping for a mediocre live else where.

PS I have rarely met a White S. African who proclaims that he is African, he says S. African but never African, much like the Arabs that inhabit the North part of Africa, you rarely hear any proclamations of an African identity. There is always a prefix to it.

I Like how you sneak the sentence in there about making that part of the world first worldish as you say. A subtle yet revealing sentiment.


European Jews are of course "white" compared to say Sephardic Jews. So as soon as these "jews' established a European colony in the middle east, they brought with them first world aspirations and knowledge.

The Secret of Israel's Water Miracle and How It Can Help a Thirsty World
Yes, because in a process lasting decades, Israel achieved something unique. It largely separated its water consumption from Mother Nature. Israel doesn't have some one-stop-shop magic solution, neither desalination (which it didn't invent) nor some breakthrough dreamed up by geniuses in garages. What it has is holistic, centralized water management, designed over decades, from which thirsty areas from California to Egypt can cherry-pick ideas, argues Seth Siegel, author of the best-selling book "Let There Be Water". Why reinvent the wheel when one can emulate it?

"Israel should have been a water basket case," says Siegel, listing its problems: 60% of the land is desert and the rest is arid. Rainfall has fallen to half its 1948 average, apparently thanks to climate change, and as global warming progresses, Israel and the whole Levant are expected to become even drier – and from 1948, Israel's population

A small portion of Jews refugees also created a nice little paradise, from scratch with virtually nothing, on the North Coast of the Dominican Rep also. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=202&v=hm-My-lUyOw

Get the F. outta here bro and go read your history. Start from 1652 and Jan van riebeecks arrival to the cape and move all the way to 1984, come back here and then see if you have the audacity to repeat what you just said.

So you think xenophobia is peace undecided. I prefer the whites , they are civilised and better than the blacks. You said yourself the blacks there only live in shanty towns with nothing better to do but attacking innocent Nigerians. Do whites live like this?. Are whites trying to steal land and properties of blacks or the other way round undecided. Stop promoting evil against others .
