Anti-Semitic rally outside SA Zionist conference

Demonstrators outside a South African Zionist Federation conference shout anti-Semitic slogans, the South African Jewish Board of Deputies says in a statement.

Protesters in the Johannesburg suburb of Sandton shout, “You think this is Israel, we are going to kill you” and “You Jews do not belong in South Africa.”

“From the outset, it was clear that the aim of the demonstration, in the protesters’ own words, was to ‘shut down Sandton’ and ensure ‘no Zionist conference be held on our soil.’ When their attempts at doing so, failed, it became apparent that the rally was nothing more than a front to stoke up Jew-hatred in South Africa,” the Jewish group says in a statement.

“The SAJBD once again reiterates that it is every South African citizen’s constitutional right to attend events of our choosing without fear of intimidation… The SAJBD is currently compiling a video of anti-Semitic utterances during the protest, which we will distribute in due course.”
