    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.
