struments of torture and
death. When the law itself
becomes criminal, its authors
are doubly criminal because
they deprive their victims of
the basic right granted to all
human beings: recourse to
justice. However, in South
Africa, justice itself is mas-
queraded, manipulated, muti-
lated and perverted. And this
scandal remains an affront to
outraged humanity.
That individuals commit
injustices against their peers
is, unfortunately, a regular
occurrence. That they should
be protected by those in
power is not uncommon.
There are also instances of a
government's abusing the
law in order to strengthen its
authority and control. But
the South African govern-
ment goeifurther: by raising
segregation and racial per-
secution to the ethical level of
law, it puts into practice the
antinomian rules of Orwell's
world. Evil becomes good, in-
humanity is interpreted as
charity, egoism as compassion.
Victims no longer have the
right to complain. Their
misfortune is ridiculed. The
torturer decides for them
whether or not they suffer. It
is he who determines the
shape of their liberty and
attempts to do as much with
their language. By exposing
them to constant humilia-
tion, the torturer attacks not
only their right to live, but
also their very being.
That is why, in meeting
South African blacks, the
visitor is ashamed not to be
like them. He is ashamed of
his liberty.
As a Jew, I am all the more
sensitive to this kind of in-
justice. Consequently, _after
leaving Soweto, I began to
denounce apartheid in all my
lectures. At Durban, as at
Capetown, at Port-Elizabeth
as at Johannesburg, the
public showed its under-
standing. Certainly, the situ-
ation is more complex,
perhaps more tragic because
it is unsolvable, than it
appears to an outsider. But
what is encouraging is that
the young, the intellectuals,
the students, oppose the gov-
ernment with an increasingly
dedicated resistance. It is
also for them that we must
act: our support extends first
to the victims and then to
their allies. Without it, we
would all be accomplices .
