Here's some more news about the South Africa republic's sad problems with antisemitism at the government level, and how revolting preident Cyril Ramaphosa's approach was during a community meeting:

Shortly after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, which saw the torture and massacre of over 1,200 people, the leadership of the South African Jewish community requested a meeting with President Cyril Ramaphosa to discuss rising antisemitism.

The meeting took place in December, and the course it took surprised the South African Jewish Board of Deputies: Instead of discussing the safety concerns of his Jewish constituents, the board’s leader said, Ramaphosa spent most of the meeting attacking Israel, which he accused of committing genocide. He later cited the meeting when South Africa charged Israel with genocide at the International Court of Justice.

“It was a complete betrayal of the community,” Wendy Kahn, the Board of Deputies’ director, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in an interview this week.

Ramaphosa had scheduled the meeting for Dec. 13, after the launch of the country’s summer holidays, so a number of the seven Jewish officials who attended had to cut into summer travel plans to make the meeting in the capital city of Pretoria.

The inconvenience seemed worth it, Kahn said. Antisemitism had spiked in South Africa and the parliament’s overwhelming vote to cut diplomatic ties to Israel and shutter its embassy was creating problems for the South Africans with family in Israel.

Yet instead of focusing on those issues, according to Ramaphosa’s office, the South African president used the meeting to accuse Israel of genocide. His statement following the meeting does mention his government’s “denunciation of anti-Semitic behavior towards Jewish people in South Africa, including the boycott of Jewish owned businesses, and Islamophobia.”

But most of the statement concerns South Africa’s criticism of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. It says Ramaphosa explained that his government “condemns the genocide that is being inflicted against the people of Palestine, including women and children, through collective punishment and ongoing bombardment of Gaza.”

Obscene cliches galore, and that's all this disgraceful man cares about. No doubt, he's doing it all at the expense of his country's integrity too, and it won't be shocking if soon, he'll make sure to import plenty of Muslims to South Africa to boot. Also note his classic cliche of "islamophobia", which makes for plenty of reprehensible moral equivalence. I'd suggest all concerned not invest in the SA republic so long as anybody as vile as Ramaphosa is in charge. And we must hope the Jewish community on the south of the continent will be able to persusade neighboring countries with more common sense regarding Islamofascism why they must avoid allowing antisemitism to run rampant, and encourage them to take a firm stand against the Religion of Peace.
