It should be noted that it is no accident that Bob Geldof is of jewish origin, while a lot of the major players in the ANC - such as Joe Slovo, Harry Schwartz, Nadine Gordimer, Denis Goldberg, Arthur Chaskalson, Ruth First and Ronald Kasrils - were also jewish.
1985 South Africa, Zeerust. An Afrikaner boy watches men fill the graves of a farming family killed by an ANC landmine. The movement that Bob Geldof wore a t-shirt for. The movement that Yoko Ono dressed her son in a Keith Haring shirt for. The ANC killed civilians of all races, but the international "anti-Apartheid" press kept that part quiet.
The movement that Boston's progressives protested in the street for. The movement that collected money from naive people that believed their lies. This is what their solidarity looked like on the ground in South Africa.
A child at open graves. A family erased by a landmine. The ANC placed it. The West funded the movement that placed it. One of the mourners warned the ANC not to awaken the tiger in the Afrikaner. And this time the whole world is watching. The story didn't end.
