Frida Rothe (photo), Minister and spouse of the Islam representative for the State Church in Baden-Württemberg Heinrich Georg Rothe, while dealing with the situation in Gaza and the Palestinian areas of autonomy, compared the State of Israel with the past Apartheid regime in South Africa in a clerical contribution in the local newspaper Der Teckbote. Nobody is speaking of “Kairos Palaestina,” a pamphlet that is circulating around extreme Left circles.

I don’t want to link to everything, but it seems that Rev. Frida Rothe had this document in mind in her reference this past Saturday. In doing so, she compared Gaza and the Palestinan autonomic regions directly to the former Apartheid regime in South Africa, and thus equated Israeli government with that regime.

Excerpt:

Today Christians from Palestine are succeeding. From suffering under the occupation, they make — so they say — a cry of hope. They call it “Kairos Palestina.” They hope that God will free their people from occupation and the seizure of land just like he freed the people in South Africa from Apartheid. The expect that Christians in the whole world will take up their cry in the spirit of Easter faith of love and reconciliation.

And we? Will we recognize the determining moment?

I don’t want to go into complete detail; others can do that much better. On Israelaktuell, they show among other things the massive pressure and threat of violence by Hamas of signing such a document. PI readers have already received enough examples of this kind, where persons who have pitted themselves against Hamas have been shot in the knees as warning. Those individuals have, therefore, come to understand what it means to stand against Hamas. Israelaktuell phrases it a little more politely.

There was an interesting lecture from even this same Rev. Frida Rothe on July 1, 2008, in the church of Kohlesbach in Weilheim-Teck. The title of this lecture was “60 years of the establishment of the State of Israel — 60 years of Nabka of the Palestinians.” Truly a praiseworthy, neutral title, however since both viewpoints were mentioned in the title, then it seems that a neutral lecture would have been given. The worst expectations that some participants had in spite of that — since we know the kind of people we’re dealing with here — were well exceeded. First, she mentioned her desire of telling about her last trip to visit Palestinian friends in Ramallah. The CD, stupidly enough, didn’t function with the pictures; however, she had an older CD with her that contained previous visits. After these beginning problems, she finally was able to get on with the presentation. In a word, it was the typical antisemitic method used by our leftwing and extreme Left.

My definition of antisemitic is this: when equal results from identical treatment receive differing evaluations, regardless of whether one is Palestinian or Israeli. It became clear in a very short time that the Israeli was to blame for everything, the old well-known antisemitic method. Of course, she showed pictures from the border fence for proof, or she called it the border wall. She then showed a picture from the middle of the Old Quarter where the wall is nine meters tall. The indignant whispering of the older listeners could not be overheard, even though some of the ideology of the Hitler Youth era certainly came to mind in some listeners. One listener indicated that about 95 to 98 percent of the fence’s length exists right where the TV team had been invited by certain appointments — and where the exposed area in this photography was taken — in order to stage the gleeful throwing of stones at Israel through effective media coverage. He also pointed out that the wall was nine meters tall right in these places so that stones can’t be thrown over, since some Israelis had suffered from fractured skulls from such stone throws. Furthermore, she was informed that the real reason of the border fence’s erection was because of the suicide attackers from Gaza and Western Jordan, that indeed 211 Israelis had been killed by them in 2002, and that after the building of the protection fence, the count of those who were murdered fell to six in 2006 and to one in 2007. The minister pushed this objection aside with the words that a wall or a fence was no solution for the conflict.

Then she took a mental jump and started reporting about Ahmadinejad’s rumored speech: the old, well-known, extreme left version, where he absolutely did not say that he would drive the Israelis into the sea, but that his speech had been incorrectly translated. Which begs the question, whether this splitting of hairs is really so decisive, for it is simply undeniable that he is a most vicious anti-Semite. And any ally is justified in her antisemitism. Next came the story of the alleged robbery of land by the Israelis. That this is the direct result of the attacks from the Arab countries was, of course, kept quiet. Then she told next of a Palestinian wedding to which she was invited and was able to participate in. Of course, the Apartheid of the sexes was the rule, men and women were strictly separated in the celebration, and she stressed as well, how nice it was to celebrate without the men around.

The most impressive thing was when she recounted, with a glimmer in her eyes, how her daughter — apparently, very much the mother — wanted to buy and wear a Hijab, and she reported how nice, enthusiastic and friendly the lady of the shop was, and especially how happy the daughter was about her new head covering.

At the end, another listener asked, that since she had lived a good while in Jerusalem, whether she had also found Israeli-Jewish friends, or perhaps gotten to know some then. The answer wasn’t surprising anymore by that time. No, she lived in the Arab part of Jerusalem, and therefore she had Arab friends exclusively, and had also not sought out any Israeli ones, since by that time “she had already stood on the side of the oppressed, defenseless, and those without rights.”

Aha, the world is so simple.

P.S.: I heard later on, that a participant had offered to do a presentation from the Israeli viewpoint to Pastor Brigitte Turnacker of the corresponding church. He is still waiting to this day for an answer to his letter.
