Benjamin Netanyahu Under Fire for Not Bowing Down to Mythical Idol Nelson Mandela
By Julio
Severo
The mainstream
international media were chocked when Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres said they would not be attending the
funeral of Nelson Mandela in South Africa, citing costs and health reasons.

Why so much fuss
about it? Russian President Vladimir Putin decided not to attend it, and he has
not received the widespread criticism Netanyahu did.
For Putin, who
was an active leader in the infamous KGB, to attend Mandela’s funeral was just
natural. During the white rule, South Africa was anti-communism and KGB was
operating behind the scenes supporting the African National Congress, which is
today the ruling party. Mandela’s victory was KGB’s victory. So there is no
reason for a KGB agent or former agent to miss such event.
Mandela and Palestinian Terror
Yet, the
international Left was not focused on Putin’s absence. Their focus was
Netanyahu, who had good reasons for his decision, considering some Mandela’s
statements:
1) “But we know too well that our freedom is
incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.” (Address by President
Nelson Mandela at the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian
People, December 4, 1997, Pretoria.)
Comment by Julio Severo: The World
Conference against Racism held by the United Nation in South Africa in 2009 was
used as a platform against Israel, whose government boycotted it.
2) “I believe that there are many similarities
between our struggle and that of the PLO.” (1990)
Comment by Julio Severo: PLO, or
Palestine Liberation Organization, was a terrorist Islamic group responsible
for many terrorist attacks against Israeli citizens, including children.
3) “We identify with the PLO because, just
like ourselves, they are fighting for the right of self determination.”…
“Arafat is a comrade in arms.”
4) “If one has to refer to any of the parties
as a terrorist state, one might refer to the Israeli government, because they
are the people who are slaughtering defenseless and innocent Arabs in the
occupied territories.” (1990)

Modern South Africa and Its Crazy “Security”
Yet, there is
somebody who definitely should not have attended Mandela’s funeral. He was not
a world leader, but he was representative of the modern South Africa. His name
is Thamsanqa Jantjie and he is a South African. According to the Associated
Press, he is a schizophrenic man with violent tendencies. By simulating a sign
language interpreter, he was able to be very near world leaders, including just
3 feet from Obama, at Mandela’s memorial.

The South African
government was unable, or unwilling, to explain how he was able to get
clearance to be near world leaders.
The Associated
Press said that in South Africa, Obama was exposed to “an array of confusion
and security risks that typically would not be tolerated by the Secret Service
in the United States.” Jantjie is just an example. He was a definite threat to
Obama and other leaders.
Obama was at the
mercy of the South African government — and at the mercy of its schizophrenic,
paranoid, bogus sign language interpreter. By the current South African
standard, this was security, and it is much more security than most South
Africans will never see in their lifetime.
Jantjie is a small sample of a South Africa the world
refuses to recognize: the Marxist
change Mandela brought to his nation made it the world’s rape capital, with
also a very high rate of murders and assaults.

Wait a minute:
hallucination or demon possession?
Modern South Africa and Old Witchcraft
Mandela
inaugurated in South Africa an era where witchcraft was recognized and
respected by the state.
Last year, the
festivities of the centenary of the ruling African National Congress, of Mandela,
were marked by animal sacrifices and rituals held by witches “to remember their
ancestors and remember their own gods in a traditional way.”
This
“traditional way,” or African way, is known in Brazil: candomble and other
afro-Brazilian religions. By the way, if you disapprove this way by pointing
that in the Bible God condemns witchcraft, the Brazilian state response follows
the leftist mantra: criticism of the African worship and its gods and demons is
discrimination, even racism!

Rituals at
Mandela’s funeral were similar. Animals were sacrificed. The ceremonial slaughtering
of animals is one of the ways the “ancestors” are called upon for help. Guests
in these rituals drink blood of the slaughtered animals. Veneration for the
world of the ancestral spirits plays an important role in South African “culture.”
(I know these terms very well. In Brazil, we are taught by our leftist
government that Christianity is a religion and African witchcraft is just
“culture”!)
Following this
tradition, Mandela’s body was accompanied by individuals who kept communication
with his spirit and other spirits.
I do not know if
criticism of such witchcraft involvement in South Africa amounts to racism. But
this is not the only problem. South Africa is under the spell of the Western
Left.
Murderous Legacy
Mandela and his
African National Congress were about to turn South Africa into a violent Marxist,
communist country in the Soviet or Cuban model “when they were bought off by
the [socialist] American Democratic Party and big multi-national business who
showered the new black rulers with wealth and power, and, above all, with favourable
international media coverage,” according
to Rodney Atkinson, brother of Rowan, the famous “Mr. Bean.” They were bought
off by the Western Left. The result? They became a violent socialist nation in
the Western model.
Under the spell
of this model, South Africa has been implementing moral decadence as no other
African nation has done. For Mr. Atkinson, Mandela has a murderous legacy. In
1996, Mandela endorsed
one of world’s most liberal abortion laws.

In other words,
while many other African nations follow the tradition of protecting the family,
including against gay “marriage” and abortion, in this respect South Africa
under Mandela followed the Western socialist model. Just in regard to religion,
Mandela opened the national doors for the traditional African way and its
demons.
Calvinism in South Africa
Just as other
African nations, South Africa was also strictly against sodomy and abortion,
under white administrations. White administration officials were mostly
Calvinist, and undeniably South Africa greatly flourished under Calvinist
inspiration. Their greatest challenge was to prevail over racial barriers — a
common problem in Africa, considering tribal wars where tribes hated, enslaved
and massacred one another for racial and “cultural” differences. Just consider
Tutsis and Hutus.
The Calvinist
difficulty to prevail over racial barriers opened the doors to resistance,
especially communist, and a gradual weakening of their own religious tradition.
In 1985, while
under white administration, 92% of Afrikaners (South African whites) were
members of Reformed (Calvinist) Churches. But after the pro-abortion and pro-sodomy
Mandela rule, everything changed. By late 2012, this figure had dropped to 41%,
while actual weekly church attendance of Reformed Churches is estimated to be
below 25%.
Gandhi, Apartheid and Racism
Their weakening
follows a strange societal idea that Apartheid is worse than any evil South
Africa has been suffering since the end of Apartheid.
Apartheid has
been elevated above the rampant rapes, including of children and babies, in
South Africa.
Apartheid has
been elevated above the troublesome personal life of its greatest opponent,
Mandela, described by DailyMail
as a “womanizing wife-beater.”
Apartheid has
been elevated above the evil of socialism, abortion and other threats.
And it is very suspicious
that Marxism, adhered by Mandela, embraced a supposed fight against racism. According
to American Black academic Walter Williams, Karl Marx was a
racist man. How then did Mandela espouse Marxism to fight Apartheid and,
later, used Marxism to legalize abortion?
And now,
Marxists, whose father was a racist, put Mandela in the same mythical level of
Mahatma Gandhi — another racist! For Gandhi, Africans were no better than the
“Untouchables” of India. He thought black people were subhuman.

Gandhi was,
according to HuffingtonPost,
elevated to a 20th century messiah by both European and American Protestant
clerics and missionaries. For example, John H. Holmes, a liberal Unitarian
pastor from New York, praised Gandhi in his writings and sermons with titles
like “Gandhi: The Modern Christ” and “Mahatma Gandhi: The Greatest Man since
Jesus Christ.”
Will Mandela be
the new messiah deified by Protestant clerics and missionaries? Any doubts?
Calvinism and Pentecostalism
Perhaps
Calvinists in South Africa might have averted the catastrophic destiny of their
nation by opening the doors for spiritual revival. Some 100 years ago, when the
African National Congress began its fight against Apartheid, the United States
began to experience an abundant outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and the
Pentecostal movement was born. The Holy Spirit did no distinction of race and
color: whites and blacks were baptized in the Holy Spirit and whites and blacks
became leaders in the Pentecostal church.
While leftist
and feminist birth control campaigner Margaret Sanger preached the extinction
of blacks through birth control some 100 years ago, poor whites and blacks were
united in their Pentecostal experiences.
Pentecostalism,
rejected by many affluent and proud Calvinists, has been God’s way to address racial
issues since the early 1900s.
Calvinists, who
blessed South Africa over three centuries with their capitalism and hard work,
needed such Pentecostal experiences to face the 20th century challenges.
Failure to do so eventually became victory for Marxist idols and their
“liberation” with epidemic rapes, abortion and homosexuality.
Netanyahu: No to the Anti-Israel Idol
So I am not
amazed at Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter going to South Africa to
pay their tribute to their pro-abortion and pro-sodomy comrade. Yet, what was
George W. Bush doing among them? Where was his courage just to say “no”?
South Africa is
today an anti-Israel nation, in contrast with the past white administrations,
which were pro-Israel.
Israel’s Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had the courage to say “no.” He could have made the
very expensive travel, to see, as other world leaders did, the crazy antics of
Thamsanqa Jantjie, a demon-possessed man who was hallucinating near Obama in a
sad representation of the witchcraft, rape and murder culture in South Africa.
He could see world leaders in their antics to pay tribute to an Anti-Israel
man. But he did not do so.
An American reader
in Charisma magazine noted,
“Mandela was a supporter of Palestinian terrorism and an ardent critic of
Israel. For the Israeli Prime Minister to participate in honoring him would be
akin to him going to a tribute to the Ayatollah. It would be an insult to
everyone who was a victim of Palestinian terrorism.”
Netanyahu, not
Putin, has been under fire for not following world leaders, especially US
leaders, in their attendance of Mandela’s funeral. But Israel should get used
to be criticized and isolated. In the future, Israel will suffer more criticism
and isolation, and all of this has been prophesized in the Bible.
Babylon and Its Idols
Old Babylon
ordered citizens over its control to bow down to its mythical idol: “And the
herald proclaimed aloud, ‘You are commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages,
that when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe,
and every kind of music, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that
King Nebuchadnezzar has set up. And whoever does not fall down and worship
shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace.’ Therefore, as soon as
all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe,
and every kind of music, all the peoples, nations, and languages fell down and
worshiped the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.” (Daniel 3:4-7
ESV)
Daniel the Jew
did not bow down to the idol set up by Babylon.
Modern Babylon,
especially represented by the socialist United States and Europe, wants the
whole world to bow down to its mythical idols.
Netanyahu the
Jew did not bow down to the anti-Israel idol set up by modern Babylon.
While America
follows the ways of the nations, and nations follow the way of Babylon, Israel
follows her own way and destiny.
