Lastuser, I think the Israeli example is interesting. It could cause a third world war! It was obviously a political move to have a foothold in the middle east. Not an argument I would be relying on.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 11/08/2015 18:18

but it's all aren't you concerned they won't even let her in?

what are they trying to hide?

As I have already said, I don't think anyone is disputing that SA is a dangerous place. What I am disputing is that whites are in imminent danger of Genocide, and that white farmers are being killed in the numbers suggested in the petition. I am also questioning why the petition was started by a Brazilian and what his motives were.

I am not disputing that thousands of people are being killed (mostly black)

Notice the Tasmanian aboriginies don't get mentioned on that "watch list" altho' US slaves (but no one else's slaves) do. Strikes me a a load of rubbish.

MarchLikeAnAnt · 11/08/2015 18:20

What percentage of black peopke are murdered or killed in SA compared to white?

prorsum · 11/08/2015 18:24

No they should not be allowed to return. Stay and fight for their rights, if they feel they don't have any, which is complete and utter bullshit btw, and die for them if need be. There are plenty of people in SA who can give advice on resistance tactics. Things are still quite rough for those so they could do with a laugh.

Seriously, what a load of shit!

limitedperiodonly · 11/08/2015 18:24

If these people would like to claim asylum on grounds of persecution they have every right to join the queue along with everyone else.

Presumably, they can.

Or are they banned from doing that, OP?

Is that your point? Could you expand?

MarchLikeAnAnt · 11/08/2015 18:25

Who owns the most wealth in SA? White or blacK people? Who is the better educated? Who has the most opportunities in life? Who is less likely to die from poverty and disease? Who is the most likely to die in childbirth? To be raped?
White south Africans don't have it any worse than black south Africans.

It's Wikipedia, but you can follow the references.

"South African farmers have suffered from attacks for many years, especially wealthier farmers.[1] Fact checking organisation Africa Check has “Whites are far less likely to be murdered than their black or coloured counterparts,” Lizette Lancaster, who manages the Institute for Security Studies crime and justice hub, told Africa Check. This is supported by an analysis of a national sample of 1378 murder dockets conducted by police in 2009. In 86.9% of the cases, the victims were Africans. Whites accounted for 1.8% of the cases (although whites make up 8.85% of the population)..[2] Johan Burger of the ISS has stated that attacks were not motivated by race but by greed.[3] Moreover, the South African Police Service has declared that there is no evidence of organised attacks.[4] The disbandment of the Commandos has been linked to the escalating level of farm attacks.[5] In January 2015, AfriForum reported that there has been an increase in farm attacks and murders in the previous five years.[6] Human Rights Watch has criticized the term "farm attacks" and the disproportional attention they received""

Thanks itsall

CalmYourselfTubbs · 11/08/2015 18:31

could they not go to countries like Namibia as well as Europe?
I've always said that S.A. will end up in a civil war.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 11/08/2015 18:33

I can only presume the problem with fleeing to other African countries is that they are full of black people too...

honeyroar · 11/08/2015 18:34

No they shouldn't. Their criteria to come here should be the same as any other colour of South African.

limitedperiodonly · 11/08/2015 18:44

If you think the OP is goading, then fine, report.

I'd rather address the issue.

The issue of asylum he or she has raised should not be in terms of race. It should be in terms of need.

I guess that a poor black South African would be treated the same as a poor white one in modern times - in that they are economic migrants.

South Africa is probably now regarded as a safe country and all hopeful asylum seekers would be summarily or eventually rejected whatever their colour.

Economic migrants are a different matter and will be judged on their EU eligibility or usefulness to our economy.

It's a nonsense to say we should have a points system such as Australia. Britain may not have one but we have visas and we can eject people who contravene them if we want.

No need to rise to what you think is a goad or to trash people who would like to try to make a better life for themselves in another country whatever the colour of their skin.

That's just nasty.

MarchLikeAnAnt · 11/08/2015 18:48

Who has been nasty? Confused

prorsum · 11/08/2015 18:50

The issue of asylum he or she has raised should not be in terms of race. It should be in terms of need. The OP is concerned with white people. Who had it good for a long time. And still do.

limitedperiodonly · 11/08/2015 19:18

The OP is concerned with white people. Who had it good for a long time. And still do.

I agree. But that's what I call nasty - to treat people according to what their ancestors did or even their dad.

Don't you agree marchllikeanant or prorsum?

I think we should treat people on their current circumstances and views.

If these particular white people can make a claim for asylum then as I said, let them make it.

Their claim might be legitimate. Plenty of white people can make such claims. They are more usually political dissidents, often very rich ones from former Soviet states or much poorer members of a European community such as Roma. I see no reason to exclude white South Africans from their number.

MarchLikeAnAnt · 11/08/2015 19:21

They arnt excluded. I don't really get what your point is?

limitedperiodonly · 11/08/2015 19:26

My point is that all asylum seekers have to get in the queue.

I regard them as equal from that starting point.

I'm not sure you do MarchLikeAnAnt.

TaylorQuifft · 11/08/2015 19:31

I think they should, after all they are ethnically european. Loads of white farmers have been killed in the southern african countries.

Its just not as pc to mention it.

TaylorQuifft · 11/08/2015 19:34

Whats wrong for sticking up for persecution of white people, persecution is wrong fall stop.

Well done, op signed

MarchLikeAnAnt · 11/08/2015 19:37

Why wouldn't I think all asylum applications should be treated equally? I think they should. I don't think that white south Africans should be given a pass to Europe above other fleeing peoples though.

MarchLikeAnAnt · 11/08/2015 19:43

Do you realise that the op was saying that white SAs should be allowed into Europe simply because that are white?

MarchLikeAnAnt · 11/08/2015 19:43

They are*

limitedperiodonly · 11/08/2015 19:54

Do you realise that the op was saying that white SAs should be allowed into Europe simply because that are white?

Yes I did realise that March. I said they should get in the queue with other people making claims for asylum regardless of creed or colour.

I don't understand why you've missed that in any of my posts

MarchLikeAnAnt · 11/08/2015 19:57

Well I don't understand why you think that I think that not all asylum applications should be treated the same Confused
