    Almost self aware.

    I have to support the wrong side because my family is on the wrong side.

        I don’t even care if I get banned from this community for saying this: I hope to your (imaginary) god that you die a horrifying and public death. Ideally sooner rather than later. You, and everyone who thinks like you, are directly responsible for SO MUCH of the evil in this world.

        I FUCKING HATE YOU, and everything you stand for.

        Except that the slave owners were fine after the civil war. There were no mass executions, they got to keep their property (slaves excepted) and they retained so much political power they managed to reverse reconstruction within a few decades.

        There’s no reason you couldn’t dissolve the apartheid state without the violence Zionists claim would be wrought on them. South Africa can be a model for this.

          Except the North didn’t want mass executions and was willing to let the South keep their institutions.

          I can assure you, Israel’s neighbors would be more than happy to burn it to the ground. So while you could dissolve the Zionist state, you would have to do so while still supporting the defense of Israel, or else you’d just switch from a massacre of Palestinians to a massacre of Jews.

            The ANC made a special point to protect the apartheidists during their Truth and Reconciliation hearings. It wasn’t until said white farmers began violently resisting efforts to repatriate land to native farmers that the government lost control of retribution. Even then, they weren’t “slaughtered”. Many simply abandoned the properties after the ANC failed to intercede on their behalf.

            Quite a few white South Africans are currently leaving to become converts to Judaism in order to participate in the Israeli Settler Movement

            From a former Pentecostal pastor to entire families, a growing number of Afrikaners are converting to Orthodox Judaism and swapping South Africa for Israel – and, in many cases, West Bank settlements

            All of them? I’m pretty sure there’s still a lot of white south Africans around, just because there were a few incidents doesn’t make it largely peaceful. The alternative to a peaceful transition is Rhodesia, if you want to go the route of constant escalation.

        That’s the same self serving BS excuse we heard from slave owners during the civil war, and from Afrikaners during apartheid.

          You are delusional if you think you would have done any differently if you had been in their position.

              You might be in denial over this, but had you lived in Nazi Germany, statistically you would have been a nazi. A concentration camp guard even.

              “The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either – but right through every human heart – and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained.”

              Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
