S. African union official calls for ‘wrath’ against Jewish leaders

(JTA) — A South African union leader called for “eye for an eye” attacks on Jewish communal officials in retribution for civilian deaths in Gaza.

In a Facebook post Wednesday, Tony Ehrenreich, a trade union official and the 2011 Cape Town mayoral candidate for the African National Congress party, condemned the “killings and maimings that have been taking place in Gaza.” He accused the Israel Defense Forces of “attempts to steal the Palestinian lands.”

Ehrenreich wrote that South Africa’s Jewish Board of Deputies, the national Jewish communal organization, should suffer for its support of Israel.

Even when they say "Jews" they really mean "Zionists" .

Its not even AntiSemitism it's blowback or it's understandable or it's much smaller than you really think it is and it shouldn't be published and he never meant what he said because it's just anger over Gaza and there's no video evidence and the best one I heard when they smashed the synagogues windows in Ireland 3x -- they do that to churches and mosques too.

In some of the articles you posted is was stated that a Church and Mosque had also been vandalized.

Were you asleep when you posted some of the first articles, or did you bother to read them?


You're crying over a few broken windows while Palestinians are crying over hundreds of their murdered children.
Well, at least you have your priorities straight.
