Here’s young Netanyahu with Yitzhak Shamir, who was not only the PM of Israel but also the head of a Zionist terrorist group known as Lehi or “Stern Gang.”
In 1948, Shamir assassinated the UN diplomat Count Bernadotte, who was sent to Palestine to mediate between Jews and Arabs.
Oh, the Stern Gang also tried to assassinate US President Truman using a letter‐bomb in 1947! 🔥
Israel, the greatest ally!
Yitzhak Shamir later worked for the Mossad for 17 years, and worked AGAINST independence of numerous countries in Africa!
Israel’s view in South Africa was that whites should treat blacks the same way as Zionists treat Palestinians.
Not surprisingly, the SA apartheid regime was Israel’s #1 customer of military weapons!
Israel also tested biological weapons on Palestinians at home and Africans in South Africa.
Mossad would send doctors to South Africa, pretending to do humanitarian/charity work.
Deng Xiaoping's reform and opening up started in 1978.
1. But China did not right away embrace private enterprises and capitalism.
2. Private enterprises were illegal and not even officially recognized until 1988! (A few Special Economic Zones like Shenzhen had more freedom)
3. Some entrepreneurs in the 1980s were allowed to run private businesses under the "red hat" -- i.e., pretending to be collectives or government-owned.
4. 1980s: There were also high taxes and numerous restrictions such as maximum 5 employees in a private enterprise.
5. Only in 1994 did private enterprises get many legal protections and freedom.
6. In 1999, the Chinese Constitution was amended to acknowledge that the private sector is an "important component" of the economy.
