Making Progress
Aug. 24th, 2007 09:38 amAs most of you know, my family immigrated from South Africa to Israel in the early 80's.
I never lived there, but I remember visiting before and after Apartheid was abolished, to the eyes of the nine year old girl I couldn't see much difference, since black people were still acting as servants to white people.
But now it is thirteen years since the end of those terrible decades and things are not much better, the backlash is intense and people, of both colours and those with means obviously, are uprooting and making new lives elsewhere.
One of these people is Ann Paton (widow of Alan Paton, author of "Cry, The Beloved Country").

In addition, the genocide in Darfur must be stopped.
וכמו כן, צריך לעצור את רצח העם בדרפור.
