COSATU challenges Jewish Board of Deputies' Cape Town offices to condemn Israeli land grabs

COSATU challenges the Jewish Board of Deputies' representatives in Cape Town to condemn the land grabs that are taking place in Palestine by the Israeli state. These land grabs is equal to the land grabs of the Apartheid SA state and is condemned by all democrats who fought against these practices in South Africa. The Jewish Board of Deputies is complicit in the land grabs in Palestine if they remain silent on this violation.

The Jewish Board of Deputies not only find themselves on the other side of most South African Jews on these land grabs, but also at odds with the civilised world, which includes Britain and the USA on condemning these land grabs. The Jewish Board of Deputies is just a front for the Israeli aggression against the Palestinians.

They try to intimidate people in silence so as to stifle criticism of the Israeli aggression. This is SA, we are not intimidated into not standing on the side of justice and we will expose the Jewish Board of Deputies as being anti South African's value system and Anti Palestinians.
