The despicableness of the Executive Council of Austrlaian Jewry

Since the unremarkable Nelson Mandela is in the news, let's start with him and his relationship with the ECAJ. The ECAJ is gushing with praise for Mandela in its recent press release on his death. Why the ECAJ feels it necessary to release a press release on the death of a South African leader is bizarre. My guess is that many of the non-black activists who fought against apartheid ended up immigrating to Australia; and since virtually all of the non-black activists were Jews, it's probably the case that some of them ended up working for, and members of, the ECAJ.

Why the ECAJ follows the world in elevating Mandela to sainthood; and at the same time going against the world in reducing Arafat to the dustbin of history seems a contradiction. Both men led similar lives. So similar, in fact, that at the height of their fame and power they met and embraced in mutual respect.


Mandela and Arafat had a common enemy: a racialist state that imposed totalitarian measures to counter the demographic reality on the ground. Poor Israel and poor South Africa under the Nationalist Party found themselves submerged by an alien and hostile people, who, if given voting rights and full integration into society, would change the culture and politics of the nation through sheer demographic strength alone. 

So why the contradiction? Why is it true and just of Israel to maintain its Jewish identity and way of life but not true and just of the Afrikaner to do so? 

Unfortunately, I can only come up with one explanation: a bias against gentile-whites, and a bias in favour of Jews. This contradiction is not explicable by the old saying 'it it good for the Jews?', since the Jews gained nothing by ending apartheid (despite being virtually 100% of its opponents). The Afrikaner, however, did lose something. And it is the loss of the Afrikaner that motivates these people.
