Jewish activist Avigdor Eskin supports Afrikaner freedom struggle

 

Jewish-Russian activist Avigdor Eskin gives his support to Afrikaners’ freedom struggle.

The Russian-Jewish activist Avigdor Eskin, who lives in Jerusalem, has given his support to the Afrikaners for their freedom struggle. Speaking on a YouTube video from his home in Jerusalem, he said many Jews feel with him that the State of Israel had a great friend in South Africa during apartheid.

He’d also met General Hendrik van den Bergh (who headed the bureau of state security, Boss). Eskin described Van den Bergh as ‘a man of great dignity and faith.” At a time when our people were being turned away by many countries during the holocaust,  South Africa opened up its gates to many refugees from the Holocaust,” he said.

“I had the privilege of being a friend of South Africa until Mandela took over the country. I’ve never met a people like the Afrikaners, so honest and with so much love for Israel,’ he said.

‘The Afrikaners were forced into the referendum-vote by foreign powers who had convinced F W de Klerk to do so, he said.

“And now we in Israel have nothing but enemies in Pretoria, that government now has become friends with Hammas and THE many other enemies of Israel.’

“It is also inconceivable what is going on with the Afrikaners now. During apartheid the average life expectancy was 64. Now it’s 32. Life was so much better for all the people of South Africa during apartheid than thereafter. The Afrikaners were much more humane, BUT today they will have to be much less humane remain to regain their power, yet it must be done. Over 3,000 Boer farmers already killed, so many people killed on the streets each day, don’t tell me these (murders) don’t have a racial flavour.”

“I did foresee and I did warn that the 1994-referendum and the dismantling of the apartheid system would be disastrous for the Afrikaners.”

“But now we can help them and we have the capability of becoming allies again. Let’s sit down and see how we can regain justice and righteousness. I love you and I want to help you.”

“God bless you.’ 

Gift to Obama: Whites return to power in South Africa

Date of publication: 05/26/2010

link to original Russian story by Avigdor Eskin - 

Recently the British newspaper The Guardian published a document attesting to the extremely close relationship between Israel and South Africa since the early seventies until the establishment there of the black regime in 1994. That article was in response to the international community on Israel's attempts to undermine the credibility of the notorious "Report Goldstone”.

'This former judge from South Africa distinguished himself by taking very politically incorrect decisions early in his career, when the country had a system of separate development - apartheid. The flurry of information about his judicial tricks began emerging in the Israeli newspapers within a month, the book by Polyakov-Suranskogo telling the details about the alliance of Israel with South Africa.

In interviews after the publication of "The Guardian" Polyakov-Suransky not conceal his intention to show up Israel for its "duplicity". – saying that they themselves were the closest partners of South Africa, publishing documents showing how Goldstone curried favor with the authorities and taking racist judicial decisions. Polyakov-Suranskogo is the  chief editor of the official mouthpiece of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a liberal multinational company which launches frequent attacks on Israel.

It is sad that the official Israeli response was unconvincing, immoral, ineffective and short-sighted: it was unsuitable to be ashamed of its most loyal and trusted allies. It also is unwise  deny the facts, which are corroborated by the audited documents. Especially when you know that there are many more such documents.

In addition, a sober look at what is happening in South Africa today suggests that there is hope for a return to power of our friends in the foreseeable future.

So I want to back the publication of "The Guardian" that knows me and has not been published until now.

  • In early 1968, Israel ‘s Shim Peres had a meeting with the head of South African intelligence service, General Hendrik Van Der Bergh. The meeting took place in a small Tel Aviv restaurant. The negotiations were successful, but the (Afrikaner) guest was a little surprised when Perez got up and said solemnly: "As long as you are alive, and I promise you that our countries are such a close relationship, which does not exist among the other allies." I was told this in 1988 by general van der Bergh when I was his guest on a farm near Pretoria. He also told me about how the Air Force in South Africa were in a state of alert during "Operation Entebbe".

The level of trust between Israel and South Africa had in fact reached the then unprecedented levels.  I had the opportunity to help the South African government to protect its interests in the U.S. and Europe since 1984 and until the advent to power by Nelson Mandela.

And I can bear witness today that the degree of decency South African Boers displayed were unequalled by other nations int he world.  I came in contact with General van den Bergh through their contacts with American conservatives to help South Africa to confront the Communist expansion.

As you recall, the Cuban "volunteers" were deployed to the territory of Angola, and the terrorists of the African National Congress were graduates of the institute named after Patrice Lumumba, or similar institutions.

With such close knowledge of South Africa, I am increasingly amazed at the falsity of the international media and the absolute truth of Afrikaners in their quest for freedom – and at their wholehearted support which all the white South Africans gave to support Israel.

This is not about sentimentality - but written with a profound sense of justice and a living connection with the biblical teachings.

It will be recalled that during the Second World War, when America refused to let in Jewish refugees, even spreading suspicions about their pro-Communist sentiments, even in children – it was South Africa which opened the gates to the country to help them flee from the gas chambers.  And the Afrikaners continued to fight against Britain to gain full independence. The Afrikaners gained hegemony in 1948.

The aapprochement between the two countries began after the Six Day War, and assumed the character of a true alliance between the two countries – both having been victims of defamation and aggression by the communists and the liberal world.

But it was the pressure from the Americans and the Europeans which led to the dramatic change in South Africa – and the results of which now have reached staggering proportions.

I foresee a question: what about apartheid? I give the answer: we do not specify the Boers on how to govern, but if you look at the origins of our morality and then take a look at African realities, we must reach the conclusion that our Afrikaner friends created a highly sophisticated model of society.

  • If someone wants to learn the traditional Jewish view on the race issue, then let them open the ninth chapter of Genesis and read about the paradigm of the historical fate of the descendants of Ham. These provisions are reinforced in the Talmud. They are particularly bright documented in the collection of midrash "Meam Loaiza. To refine the recall: Rabbi Yehuda Halevi in the very beginning of his book "Kuzari" wrote that a “black’s lack of natural ability, and a human face and the ability to sayings from them - essentially a shortage." No less sharp and a great Maimonides (Rambam), who at the beginning of the 51st chapter in the third part of his work "around the misguided" writes: "As for blacks, living in the south and in our area, I consider them to be irrational creatures. They are not at the human level, and below it, but above the level of a monkey, because its appearance have human form and have higher mental abilities than a monkey. " Interestingly, in Hebrew numerology name President Obama gives 48, as the name Ham.

Apartheid was never a form of slavery, but in fact it was designed to create optimal living conditions for the development of blacks. It is noteworthy that many millions of blacks were stopped from coming into the country during apartheid because they were being decimated in their own countries.

However today, South Africa has ceased to be an attractive place. More than three thousand white farmers were brutally murdered by negroid criminals in recent years. Those of you who say that crime is not race-related:  the criminals do belong to a specific race – as do their victims. ...

Apartheid has emerged as a humane embodiment of the ideas of the ninth chapter of the first books of the Bible. Recall also that Afrikaners did not enslave anyone 300 years ago – they mastered empty territory. Blacks moved southward and began to settle near the whites in search of work and a better life.

Indeed the Afrikaner presence became a magnet for the Zulus and other inhabitants of the African continent as was also seen in North America, in Australia. However in the latter two countries, the white settlers did not help the local residents – instead they destroyed them, and herded them into reservations. And while Afrikaners were not prepared to see the black Africans as equals – they at the same time, due to their biblical morality also did not allow them to behave like the white Americans and Australians had done towards their indigenous tribes.

The ‘enlightened liberal world’ is condemning apartheid’s inequalities for blacks. However we do not  believe that equality is necessary a moral choice: we are more  interested in human life itself.

  • So let’s look at human life during apartheid and thereafter. In 1948, at the launch of the apartheid-years,  the average life expectancy "of African-South Africans" was approaching 38 years – but by the end of apartheid in 1994, the life-expectancy of African-South Africans had reached 64 years.  In that time its infant mortality rates fell from 174 to 55 per thousand births. ..
  • And more about the value of human life. From 1948 to 1994 a total of 21,000 murder-victims were registered. It is noteworthy that 14.000 of these were registered in the period 1990-1994 – in the riotous run-up years to the end of apartheid. Ninety-two percent of these latter 14,000 people were killed in violent clashes. But between 1948 to 1990 in all the clashes with police during the "apartheid regime" a total of 518 people died – and these statistics included the riots in Soweto, in Sharpville and similar black mob attacks on soldiers and police.

South Africa today – the appalling statistics:

Now compare these apartheid-era statistics above with the appalling number of 35.000 violent deaths per year. From 1994 to 2010 a total of 174.220 people died violently in South Africa.

  • Whatever criteria we might use, will have to admit that blacks lived better lives n South Africa under apartheid, better than under the yoke of any of the black dictators on the African continent.

I must admit that we are much more concerned about the fate of our white Afrikaner friends in South Africa – and also added to this is the fact that Israel is not  indifferent to developments in the sub-saharan continent. 

The open hostility displayed towards us by Washington dictates that Israel must find alternative partners. Remember how Martin Luther King thrilled the whole world in his speech «I have a dream»?

And now we dream of that came true visionary words in rhw early twentieth century, Nicholas Van Rensburg – describing Afrikaners would be losing power; would enter into an unequal fight and win. I think such a development would delight not only those living in Israel. I am certain that such changes would also delight the inhabitants of the Kremlin. But are they realistic?

  • Five million whites against the fourty-odd millions of blacks?

Yes, those numbers sound like a death sentence, However a closer consideration of the situation also reveals that about a third of the sons of Ham in South Africa now are infected with AIDS and that their numbers are still growing – and especially among black males. It is not just about the demographic factor.

  • This disease demoralizes them, and corrupts last their human foundations. If you look at the problem of AIDS, coupled with crime, it is difficult to imagine that you can avoid the explosion of violence in the country.

In this situation, the white remains if not the most cohesive, most certainly the better-prepared team. For fifteen years I have watched the proceedings in South Africa with pain and despair.

However in recent months signals have started to arrive that the Boers are awakening. And, just like a hundred years ago, Jabotinsky said that ‘if it were not for his work on settling the Land of Israel, he had gone to fight alongside the Boers’. So are we today. However, not only to help them because it’s for our good and our honour – but also to present Barack Hussein Obama with a surprise: the return of white power in South Africa… 

Russian article

Подарок Обаме: вернуть белых к власти в ЮАР

дата публикации: 26.05.10

    На днях британская газета «Гардиан» опубликовала документы, свидетельствующие об исключительно близких отношениях между Израилем и ЮАР с начала семидесятых годов вплоть до установления там черного режима в 1994 году. Эта публикация была ответом международного сообщества на попытки Израиля подорвать доверие к пресловутому «отчету Гольдстоуна». Сей бывший судья из ЮАР отличился очень неполиткорректными решениями на заре своей карьеры, когда в стране существовала система сепаратного развития – апартеида. Шквал информации о его судебных проделках началась с израильских газет. Не прошло и месяца, как последовал ответ «мировой закулисы» Израилю: книга некоего Полякова-Суранского, рассказывающая об альянсе Израиля с ЮАР.

    В своих интервью после публикации в «Гардиан» Поляков-Суранский не скрывал своих намерений, шельмуя Израиль за «двуличие». Дескать, сами были ближайшим партнером ЮАР, а теперь публикуют документы, показывающие, как Гольдстоун выслуживался перед властями, принимая судебные решения расистского толка. Поверхностная проверка личности Полякова-Суранского показывает, что он является главным редактором официального рупора самого Совета по международным отношениям (CFR). Либерально-космополитический интернационал ударил по Израилю из своей самой тяжелой артиллерии.

    Досадно, что официальной реакцией Израиля были малоубедительные и пристыженные опровержения. Это одновременно аморально, неэффективно и близоруко. Негоже стыдиться самых верных и надежных союзников. Неумно отрицать факты, подтверждаемые проверенными документами. Особенно когда знаешь, что есть еще множество подобных документов. Кроме того, трезвый взгляд на происходящее в ЮАР сегодня указывает на то, что есть надежда на возвращение к власти наших друзей в обозримом будущем.

    Поэтому я хочу подкрепить публикацию в «Гардиан» тем, что известно мне и не было опубликовано досель. В начале 1968 года Израиль посетил глава южноафриканских спецслужб Хендрик Ван Дер Берг. Встреча с Шимоном Пересом происходила в одном небольшом тель-авивском ресторане. Переговоры шли успешно, но гость был немало удивлен, когда Перес встал и торжественно произнес: «Покуда живы вы и я, обещаю вам, что между нашими странами будут такие близкие отношения, которых не существует между другими союзниками». Мне рассказал об этом в 1988 году генерал Ван Дер Берг, когда я был его гостем на ферме неподалеку от Претории. Он также рассказал мне о том, как ВВС Южной Африки были в состоянии боевой готовности во время «Операции Энтебе». Уровень доверия между Израилем и ЮАР на самом деле достиг тогда небывалого уровня.

    Мне довелось помогать правительству ЮАР в деле защиты его интересов в США и Европе с 1984 года и вплоть до прихода к власти Манделы. Свидетельствую, что степень порядочности южноафриканских буров не знает подобия в мире. Я пришел к ним тогда через свои связи с американскими консерваторами для помощи ЮАР в противостоянии коммунистической экспансии. Как вы помните, кубинские «добровольцы» досаждали тогда с территории Анголы, а террористы из Африканского Национального Конгресса были выпускниками института имени Патриса Лумумбы или подобных учреждений. По мере изучения ситуации в ЮАР я все больше поражался лживости международных СМИ и абсолютной правоте африканеров в их свободолюбивой позиции. Также изумляла полнейшая поддержка Израиля на всех уровнях белого общества.

    Речь не идет о сентиментальном юдофильстве, но о глубочайшем чувстве справедливости и о живой связи с библейским учением. Уместно напомнить, что в годы Второй мировой войны, когда Америка отказывалась впускать еврейских беженцев, распространяя подозрения в прокоммунистических настроениях даже на детей, врата ЮАР распахнулись для спасавшихся от газовых камер. Это не мешало африканерам продолжать борьбу против Англии за полную независимость. Так получилось, что полную самостийность африканеры обрели в 1948 году, и это также роднило их с Израилем.

    Сближение между нашими странами началось после Шестидневной войны и приняло характер подлинного альянса двух стран, ставших объектом диффамации и агрессии со стороны коммунистического и либерального мира. Но именно американское и европейское давление привели к трагическим переменам в ЮАР, результаты которых достигли умопомрачительных масштабов.

    Предвижу вопрос: а как же апартеид? Даю ответ: не нам указывать бурам, как управлять страной, но если обратимся к истокам нашей морали и взглянем на африканские реалии, то придем к выводу, что наши друзья создали весьма совершенную модель общества.

    Если кто-то хочет узнать еврейский традиционный взгляд на расовую проблему, то пусть откроет девятую главу Книги Бытия и почитает о парадигме исторической участи потомков Хама. Эти положения подкрепляются в Талмуде. Они особо ярко зафиксированы в сборнике мидрашей «Меам лоэз». Для уточнения напомним: рабби Иегуда Галеви в самом начале своей книги "Кузари" пишет о том, что у негров есть "недостаток природной способности, а человеческий облик и способность к речению у них – в сущностном недостатке". Не менее резок и великий Маймонид (Рамбам), который в начале пятьдесят первой главы в третьей части своего труда "Путеводитель заблудших" пишет так: "А что касается негров, живущих на юге и в наших местах, то я их считаю неразумными живыми существами. Они находятся не на уровне человека, а ниже его, но выше уровня обезьяны, поскольку внешне имеют человеческий образ и располагают более высокими ментальными способностями, нежели обезьяны".  Интересно, что в ивритской нумерологии фамилия президента США Обамы дает 48, как и имя Хам.

    Апартеид не практиковал порабощения, а на деле создал оптимальные условия развития для негров. Поэтому чернокожие из Анголы, Зимбабве и Мозамбика валили миллионами в ЮАР, когда там «свирепствовал апартеид». Знаменательно, что никому из негров не приходило в голову бежать из ЮАР на север. А вот в наши дни ЮАР перестала быть привлекательным местом. Последняя ежегодная статистика о тридцати пяти тысячах жертв преступности выводит ЮАР на первое место в мире по этому виду кровопролития. Особо отметим, что свыше трех тысяч белых фермеров были зверски убиты негритянскими преступниками за последние годы. Правы те, кто говорят, что у преступности нет расы. Но у преступников есть раса, как и у их жертв…

    Апартеид возник как гуманное воплощение в жизнь идей девятой главы первой книги Библии. Напомним еще, что африканеры не порабощали никого триста лет назад, а осваивали пустые территории. Негры начали селиться вблизи белых в поисках работы и лучшей жизни. Африканеры стали магнитом для зулусов и прочих обитателей африканского континента. Похожее мы наблюдали в Северной Америке, в Австралии. Но там белые поселенцы не помогали местным жителям, а истребляли их и загоняли в резервации. Африканеры не готовы были видеть в неграх равных, но их библейские устои не позволяли им вести себя по подобию белых американцев и австралийцев.

    Просвещенный либеральный мир клеймит апартеид за неравноправие негров. А мы вот вовсе не уверены, что равноправие необходимо и морально. Куда больше интересует сама человеческая жизнь. Итак, в 1948 году средняя продолжительность жизни «афро-южноафриканца» приближалась к 38 годам, а к концу апартеида достигла 64 лет. Детская смертность упала со 174 до 55 на тысячу новорожденных.

    Теперь еще о ценности человеческой жизни. С 1948 года по 1994 насчитываем 21.000 жертв насилия. Знаменательно, что из них 14.000 приходятся на период 1990-1994. Девяносто два процента погибли в результате межнегритянских разборок. А в столкновениях с полицией «режима апартеида» погибло за все эти годы 518 человек. Это включает и беспорядки в Соуэто и прочие случаи нападения черной толпы на солдат и полицейских.

    Теперь сравните это с ужасающей цифрой 35.000 убитых в год, большинство которых негры. Всего с 1994 года по 2010 вследствие разных видов насилия в ЮАР погибло 174,220 человек. Сравните теперь положение негров в ЮАР в период апартеида с реальным положением граждан любой негритянской страны сегодня. Какими бы критериями мы ни пользовались, придется признать, что неграм ЮАР жилось при апартеиде лучше, чем под игом любого из негритянских диктаторов на африканском континенте. Традиционный еврейский взгляд на негров нисколь не расистский, а реалистичный и полностью соответствующий благу самих же потомков Хама.

    Но надо признаться, что нас куда больше волнует судьба наших белых друзей в ЮАР. Более того, Израилю небезразлично развитие событий на юге африканского континента. Открытая враждебность Вашингтона диктует Израилю необходимость поиска альтернативных партнеров. Природные богатства ЮАР не убавились после прихода к власти Манделы и его команды.

    Помните, как Мартин Лютер Кинг восхитил весь мир своей речью «I have a dream»? А теперь мы помечтаем о том, чтобы сбылись слова провидца буров начала двадцатого века Николаса Ван Ренсбурга о том, как африканеры теряют власть, а потом вступают в неравную борьбу и побеждают. Думаю, такому развитию событий радовались бы не только мы в Израиле. Уверен, что подобные перемены пришлись бы по душе и многим обитателям Кремля. Но разве они реальны? Пять миллионов белых против сорока с лишним миллионов негров.

    Да, эти цифры звучат как смертный приговор, но при более глубинном рассмотрении положения дел мы выявим, что около трети сыновей Хама в ЮАР заражены СПИДом. Число спидоносцев растет. Оно особенно велико среди солдат-негров. Речь идет не только о демографическом факторе. Болезнь деморализует их и разлагает последние человеческие устои. Если посмотрим на проблему СПИДа вкупе с преступностью, то трудно представить себе, что можно избежать взрыва насилия в стране. В этой ситуации белые остаются если не самой сплоченной, то хорошо подготовленной группой.

    Пятнадцать лет я наблюдал за происходящим в ЮАР с болью и отчаянием. Но в последние месяцы начали приходить сигналы, что буры пробуждаются. Как и сто лет назад. Тогда Зеэв Жаботинский сказал, что если бы не его работа по заселению Земли Израиля, то отправился бы воевать на стороне буров. Так и мы сегодня. Но помочь им – дело добра и чести. Но не только. Очень хочется преподнести Бараку Хуссейну Обаме сюрприз: вернуть белых к власти в ЮАР. http://avigdor-eskin.com/page.php3?page=6&lang=0&item=404Dx

Pretoria social-welfare buildings are dangerous

 

The Schubart and Kruger Park high-rise buildings in downtown Pretoria – from which hundreds of socially- and mentally-frail Afrikaners were forcibly evacuated by a series of mysterious fires over the past decade -- now are described by the fire department as ‘dangerous, faeces-smeared shells’ with structurally-unsound inner walls. Everything of value has been stripped out of these buildings after just 15 years of ANC-council management.

Schubart Park highrises were built as social housing for poor Afrikaners during apartheid The fire department warned in a safety report this week that the Schubart (and the adjacent Kruger Park) buildings have become  dangerous hazards posing great dangers to human health and safety.

The inside walls are steadily being ripped out, causing dangerous structural instability. The buildings have pretty much now all been stripped of everything of value by its residents – all the metal railings, the electrical wiring, the water-reticulation pipes. the light-fittings, the copper wiring – just about everything is gone or is still being ripped out.

And since there are no toilet facilities left, the buildings now are surrounded by huge piles of plastic bags filled with human faeces -- thrown down daily by the tenants.

Yet the city council still accepts rental payments from the residents in all the tower blocks except one: block D has been forcibly evacuated because fires set on the eighth floor by residents who were melting down electricity wires, had rendered it dangerously unstable.

Mysterious series of fires forced evacuation of low-income Afrikaners:

After the ‘socially-frail’ residents were all forced to evacuate, amongst other measures by a mysterious series of high-profile fires during which dozens often very frail and elderly residents even had to be rescued from the rooftops by helicopters, the ANC-council started renting out the flats only to black residents as a matter of council policy.

Five people died in a horrendous fire at the  Kruger Park flats on 22 July 2008 – two died when they jumped from the burning building and three died inside; and thirteen people had to be rescued  from the roof of the building in a massive operation involving three police helicopters and three Air Force helicopters. One police fixed wing aircraft was also deployed.  Many of the often physically- and mentally disabled Afrikaners were rescued only with the greatest of difficulty from the building by the emergency services. At the time, the divisional commissioner of visible policing Arno Lamoer  said the SAPS Air Wing was ‘heroic’, with one police crew member even staying on the burning premises to assist in evacuating victims who could not be reached by other emergency personnel. report

‘ANC-council has no respect for the human dignity of these residents’

The Democratic Alliance city council chief whip Natasha Michael called it ‘the most horrific end to a terrible tale that has been going on for years, the ANC led council has been making promises to the residents of this building for years, but due to a complete lack of service delivery and complete insensitivity towards the residents, nothing was done. This building was a health and safety risk and has been for years, it is an utter disgrace that the municipality did not act immediately. This ANC council has no respect for the human dignity of these residents and should today hang their heads in shame. Perhaps if the Mayor and her staff spent more time in the city that they are supposed to serve and less time in Austria watching the Euro 2008 finals whilst staying in luxury hotels, residents of the city would not have to live in inhumane conditions” said Michael. report

Many of these evicted Afrikaners now live in destitute tent-camps and little squatter villages scattered throughout the Pretoria area, as reported yesterday in our article:  One-third of Afrikaners now destitute:

After just two years of neglect, these buildings have been reduced to empty, dangerous and stripped down shells where less than ten percent of the rent is still being paid, and where hundreds of residents dump their human waste over the sides of the buildings each day The entire surrounding park area reeks 'unbearably of human faeces,' according to a Pretoria fire department report, tabled last week.

All the stairs’railings have been ripped out, making it extremely dangerous to navigate the dark staircases.

The internal walls and all the railings of the stairs are being ripped out, causing increasing structural instability -- and copper thieves are systematically tearing out all the wiring and melting these down inside the buildings – where people are still living with their families: in the pitch-dark and without toilets or water-reticulation because of the wiring and water-piping were ripped out.

The buildings have become a hotbed of crime and drug-dealers: earlier this year the SAPS carried out anti-crime raids to try and sweep out the drug gangs, the great many illegal weapons dealers and the prostitution- and armed-robbery gangs.

Residents have also been rioting regularly because of the building’s dangerous condition. It’s not known why any of these buildings are still being rented out by the Pretoria municipality. They are far too dangerous, the fire department warned.

They had set fire to the building and it became structurally very unstable:  the fire had split apart most of the eighth floor structure. After these horrendously dangerous conditions were discovered in block D, the municipality was forced cleared out all the occupants. These residents  weren’t paying their rent anyway said the mayor.

However blocks A, B and C are still occupied – by residents who pay less than 10 percent of the rentals. http://www.praag.co.za/feuilleton-magazine-386/algemeen-magazine-470/8211-schubartpark-byna-totaal-vernietig.html
