02/05/2009: "'Jewish money' controls U.S.: African diplomat"

South Africa's deputy foreign minister has been taken before the national human rights body for allegedly saying that "Jewish money" controls the United States, officials said Thursday.

Fatima Hajaig allegedly told a political rally two weeks ago in Johannesburg that Jews "control America, no matter which government comes into power, whether Republican or Democratic, whether Barack Obama or George Bush."

"Their control of America, just like the control of most western countries, is in the hands of Jewish money," she allegedly said.

Outraged by the remarks, the South African Jewish Board of Deputies - a civil rights group - said it filed a complaint Wednesday against Hajaig at the human rights commission.

[ When the Jews make such a fuss about someone pointing out a glaringly obvious fact, instead of merely brushing it off, they in fact shoot themselves in the foot. Then people wonder why they want to take such an aggressive stance against something anyone interested in current affairs cannot have failed to notice. And that reaction then becomes the cause of anger against Jews. ]
