PoliticsAnti-african Chants In Israel, "N.gger Go Home" Video Included by black247(op): 1:49pm On Oct 09, 2014
MY VIEWS ON IT: this is precisely why two things must happen: 1. Africans must unite including the other blacks. 2. We should stop going to other countries.

Video footage of Jewish Israelis with ISIS-style flags, chanting “niggers go home” at an anti-African rally in Tel Aviv on October 5 has surfaced. Hundreds of protesters could be heard in streets of Tel Aviv chanting anti-African racial slurs, following an Israeli High Court ruling to close down “Holot” detention facility within 90 days. Holot is essentially an internment camp holding about 2,300 of 60,000 African asylum seekers in Tel Aviv. Israelis are outraged by the court decision to close “Holot,” where African migrants from Eritrea and Sudan have been locked in facilities overnight and are forced to sign in several times per day.

In the ruling, Justice Fogelman explains that imprisonment inherently infringes on the right to human dignity and that,

“Every person, by virtue of being a person, has a right to human dignity … and infiltrators are people. And if that needs explanation, let’s say it explicitly: infiltrators do not lose one ounce of their right to human dignity just because they reached the country in this way or another”



Children led by parents and grandparents joined in chanting,

“Sudanese to Sudan!”

“ Eritreans to Sudan!”

“Niggers go home!”

Seen in the raw footage, Jewish men yell at an African passersby “Go home, go home! Sudanese to Sudan!

African asylum-seekers met the protesters en route and offer them bouquets of roses, but their gestures were aggressively rebuffed and met with the responses,

“Curse your name, you garbage.”

“May you get AIDS, you LovePeddler, daughter of a LovePeddler.”

“May you be raped, you maniac!”



“You’ll get raped and get AIDS!”

“I spit on you, you garbage!”

“May you be raped, you LovePeddler!”

“Bleep you, motherfucker! Piece of shit!”

Chants even ring in English.

“Go back to Africa! Go back to Africa!”

“We hate you as much as we can motherfucker!”

“Go back to Africa! Go back to Africa!”

“Anyone who enters Israel illegally has to be jailed. How can we deal with infiltration without that tool?” Sa’ar said.

On Monday, Interior Minister Gideon Sa’ar called to limit the High Court’s ability to overturn laws.

“Anyone who enters Israel illegally has to be jailed. How can we deal with infiltration without that tool?” Sa’ar said.



Jerusalem Post reports, Interior Minister Gideon Sa’ar will attend a meeting to discuss the High Court decision and the migrant issue. Officials from the Interior Ministry’s Population, Immigration and Borders Authority, the Justice, Finance and Public Security ministries, and members of NGOs that support the African migrant community and residents of south Tel Aviv also plan to attend the meeting, reports the Jerusalem Post.
HealthRe: Ebola: Can We Now Begin To Eat Our Bush Meat? by black247: 1:25pm On Oct 09, 2014
Eat at your own peril. We shouldnt be eating what causes us harm anyway, the monkey is too close to human imo. The rest of the food? We could never properly prepare. Some of our customs we should simply give up if it does harm.

I think we should show South Africa that they need us! I think that us fleeing to their country has given them an unbearable arrogance. Put business taxes on their home corporations.
HealthRe: Nigeria Donate $3.5m 2 Liberia,other by black247: 1:19pm On Oct 09, 2014
We should donate. It is shameful that African nations are not at the lead of solving our own issues and yet depending on a western government to fix our needs, the same government many of us accuse of manufacturing the virus in the first place.

And three million is too low.

Why arent we sending our troops like America to fight this battle? Why arent we sharing what we did to quell the virus with our African brothers?

Nigeria shouldnt be the only one. Where is Ethiopia, the African Union? Where are their troops? Where is Egypt? Egypt wants to be part of our unified effort when it comes to Ethiopias water? Where is Egypt? Say what you will, Gaddafi wouldve donated by now. Where is Algeria? Where are these so called muslim brothers? Where are the African missionaries that thinks a European looking Jesus will save us?

You dont applaud what should be done. You expect it!
Foreign AffairsInside South Africa's Whites-only Town October 6, 2014 by black247(op): 1:07pm On Oct 09, 2014
Inside South Africa's whites-only town of Orania

6 October 2014




In the sparsely populated Karoo desert in the heart of South Africa's Northern Cape, apartheid lives on.
I spent a few days in Orania, one of just a few black people to have set foot in the whites-only town since its establishment in 1991.
Part of a BBC crew, including Zimbabwean journalist Stanley Kwenda, we were given permission to visit.

And during that time, Stanley and I were the only black people in the town of 1,000 - an unusual experience in latter-day South Africa.
Racial interaction is not welcome in the Afrikaner-only town, where only Afrikaans is spoken, because of fears about "diluting culture".
"We do not fit in easily in the new South Africa. It [Orania] was an answer to not dominating others and not being dominated by others," says Carel Boschoff Jr, the community leader.

Mr Boschoff inherited the town from his father Carel Boschoff Snr, an Afrikaner intellectual and son-in-law of apartheid architect, Hendrik Verwoerd.


The town was founded by Mr Boschoff Snr as a registered company three years before white-minority rule ended in the rest of the country.
Mr Verwoerd's grandson tells me that his people were faced with a tough question about their future when the black government was elected in 1994.

"In terms of Afrikaners who had been standing very close to the state, when the policies such as black economic empowerment and affirmative action came into place, Afrikaners needed to seriously think about their future. It wouldn't make sense not to," he said.
Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) was introduced to encourage more black participation in business.

We were taken on a guided tour of the town's facilities by John Strydom, a retired doctor.

The town's leaders insist that Orania is misunderstood. "We are not against black people. We are for ourselves," is the message they stress.
However, black people cannot live here.

Prospective residents are screened by the town council using a strict criterion, which includes first and foremost being an ethnic Afrikaner.
It is not enough to simply speak Afrikaans, as is the case with many black and mixed-race South Africans.
Eerie place As we sat down with Mr Boschoff for a cup of what the cafe described as "proper Boere [Afrikaner] tea… strong", I took in some of the surroundings.

At the entrance of the gated community was a statue of Mr Verwoed, one of a few of the apartheid-era prime ministers, and the Orania flag - with similar colours to the old republic's orange, white and blue horizontal stripes - which hung proudly.
The town was quiet; the sound of birds and rustling leaves interrupted by a few cars passing by. It is an eerie place for an outsider.


The town boasts amenities such as shops, hair salons, a library, a post office, a hotel, a couple of schools - and churches, a lot of churches.
But beneath the surface of this solitude lurks a fear that leads people to abandon high-paying jobs in the city for lowly jobs in this arid land.
"The levels of crime and violent crimes in South Africa are definitely pushing powers that bring people to Orania. Many of them have been victims of crimes," says Mr Boschoff.

South Africa is considered to be one of the most violent societies in the world, with one of the highest murder rates.
Official statistics suggest that most crimes actually happen in poor communities between people known to each other, but this has not stopped the fear of crime in other communities.

'Little giant' As a result, Orania officials say the town has had an annual growth rate of nearly 10% since its inception.
The Akrikaner community's totem is "the little giant", a man with rolled-up sleeves who features in the flag and the local currency, the Ora which is pegged to the South African rand.



The people do their own work from gardening to plumbing, bricklaying and waste-collection - jobs usually done by black labourers in the rest of the country.



"It takes some adjusting to. It is more difficult for some people because they are used to how things were done in South Africa, they are not used to manual labour," says Mr Strydom.

The locals explain that one of the goals in Orania is to help create a generation of pure Afrikaners untouched by the "outside world".
Bizarrely, the town's existence is protected by South Africa's constitution through a clause that ensures the right to self-determination - introduced to reassure those unhappy about the transition to democracy.

With its old Cape-Dutch styled houses it is like stepping back in time, but some families fear this place could eventually be too small for their children.

'Respect' Theunie Kruger moved from Johannesburg about a month ago after he was offered a job in Orania.

Mr Kruger says his two children are enjoying life in the countryside but he and his wife are preparing them for a world where there is not just one race or culture.
"There is no tertiary institution here for example. They need to be equipped to handle the outside world," says Mr Kruger.


"I teach them that there is no difference in skin colour. I teach them if they respect the people in Orania they must also respect the people outside Orania," his wife Annelize adds.

The couple say they are still adjusting to Orania's "rules", which include getting permission from the town council before receiving visitors.
"We understand it but it's a bit frustrating at times," Mr Kruger says.

'Defend with our lives' At the local bar, framed newspaper articles hang on the wall and Afrikaner memorabilia adorns the place.
The owner, Quinton Diedrichs, is well-travelled but became disillusioned with South Africa and moved to Orania with his wife, a beauty therapist, about four years ago.


"It's very safe here. We sleep with the doors unlocked. You can walk in the street at 3am without any fear. You don't have that where you live," he tells me.

He blames FW de Klerk, the last Afrikaner to rule South Africa, for the plight of his people.

“We can't get jobs. It's like we are being punished for the past”
Drinker in an Orania bar


"He gave away the country for nothing. We had the army," he says and stops abruptly, beginning to shake his head.
Inside the dimly-lit pub, a game of rugby is on the TV, apart from a few odd glances, no-one seems to pay much attention to Stanley or me.
A few more locals do come over to our table and conversation is polite and largely politically correct, much like in the rest of South Africa.
The pernicious issue of jobs and pro-black policies rears its head.

One local explains it as "reverse racism".

"We can't get jobs. It's like we are being punished for the past," he says.

They seem oblivious to the oppression of black South Africans during apartheid. For them it was a system that gave order.
As the sun sets, the bronze busts of Afrikaner leaders spanning over many decades - Paul Kruger, JBM Herzog, DF Malan, JG Stridom and, of course, Mr Verwoerd - look protectively over the town.

Held in disdain elsewhere, they are Orania's heroes - yet it is difficult to see how the community will be able to remain so completely isolated in such an inter-connected world.

But as one pub drinker put it - being an Afrikaner in Orania is "something we will defend with our lives if we need to".
