SA E-mail Calls For Boycott Of Jewish Business

An anonymous e-mail campaign is calling for a boycott of Jewish-owned businesses in South Africa due to the actions of Israel in the Gaza Strip.

The e-mail claims that “most SA Jews” support the Israeli actions and that “as consumers we can avoid supporting businesses affiliated to those who believe incendiary-bombing helpless children is justified”. It then goes on to list a number of stores claimed to have “Jewish Connections”.

The e-mail actually is incorrect in saying that the women’s boutique Foschini is Jewish-owned, according to the company’s financial director Ronnie Steyn. Woolworth’s, also named in the e-mail, said 90% of the food it serves is from South African farms, and only 0.1% is imported from Israel.

Zev Krengel, chairman of the SA Jewish Board of Deputies condemned the e-mail, saying, “If you juxtapose the word Jew with black you get racism in its purest form”.

The Palestine Solidarity Committee of SA spokesman Na’eem Jeenah also condemned the e-mail, calling it “racist” and “irresponsible”.

    In SA we had a saying that went as follows:
    When the Portugese leave SA, ah, its ok.
    When the English leave SA, ah, pay attention.
    When the Jews Leave SA, make sure you leae too.
    Right now there are only about 70 000 jews left in SA, and that number is shrinking.
    Ignorance attatcks that wich makes their stupidity obvious to the masses.

    The world should know that South Africa’s rulers are more inline with the terrorists in the world that those who love freedom and civility. Don’t forget all those wonderful leaders that were invited to Mandela’s inauguration, Arafat, Gadafi, Castro, Mugabe and the list goes on.

    Now, Die BoereVolk are always made out to be Nazis. But the truth is, the left is the REAL Jewhaters! Unfortunately, liberal Jews thought that they had something in common with the ANC anti Apartheid movement. That it was in their interest to show that they stood for anti nationalism. Once again, they get attacked from the very same people that they championed. Boycotts of Jewish businesses? Hmmm, sounds like Nazi Germany! The reason the ANC hates Israel is that they were quasi allies of Suid Afrika during the fight against ANC terrorism. So, like the good Nazis the ANC is, they hate ALL Jews in Suid Afrika. They are using the cover of Anti Zionism to mask their Judeophobia!
