Funnily enough, I have South African Jewish clients and they think that talk of genocide in their country is nuts.

Also, the fact that one of the 59 has spouted antisemitism on social media hasn't exactly endeared this group to my clients. Charl Kleinhaus posted "Jews are untrustworthy and a dangerous group" just a couple years ago.

Odd thing for a chief rabbi to say...

I have heard NO ONE from South Africa stand up for the white farmers.

Better learn how to code or better yet, grow your own food.

THe called the rhetoric about a genocide against Afrikaners “absurd”

Even though African politicians are talking like Nazis - literally - killing whites is the final solution.

I only see crosses in the memorials for murdered South African farmers:

The Jews have the ability to go to Israel under that country's “aliyah” policy. The Afrikaners lack a similar ability to leave. It is disingenuous for the rabbi to criticize Afrikaners who want to escape an anti-white pogrom.

And holding rallies calling for dead whites.

I recall President Truman sighed and wondered if he would ever meet a one-handed economist. “One the one hand this, on the other hand that.” I think the same can be said of Jewish rabbis.

Yeah, how many of these refugees did Israel volunteer to take in?

The rabbi may be locked into the mindset that all things must be based on ‘fairness and equity’. That is a flawed mindset, when one side is quite vocal at wanting to kill the other side. The Quakers in early America had similar core beliefs.
Some would call that mindset ‘dangerously naive and a deliberate suspension of disbelief’.

From the article: ...Donald Trump ...found a full-throated supporter in South Africa’s chief rabbi.

Apparently not if the rabbi is saying that Trump helping refugees is "a mistake".

That’s a striking sight, but what I’ve found is claims of roughly 3,500 to 10,000 farm deaths over the past thirty years, with most estimates toward the low end.

There are 2.7-3 million white South Africans (including Afrikaaners and English.) The numbers of murdered are awful, but hardly a genocide.

I for one would never live there, but there are plenty of other African countries with greater danger to minorities, most spectacularly Sudan.

If Afrikaaners want refugee status, by all means let them apply. But recruiting them is absurd.

Spin it around. If even five black farmers were murdered by whites, we'd have memorials, cities burning, and white schoolchildren told how evil and racist their skin pigmentation is.

Non-Goverment Organizations would be shoveling boatloads of refugees into your neighborhood.

Those in the Grievance Industry gonna get paid.

As I said earlier. Dance to their piper or else. Interesting this fella brings up one anti semitic post and bam, it is a mistake. LOL

This act of Trump’s has nothing to do with Israel.

Repulsive article.

This Rabbi is NUTS and is just more propaganda!

Of course even some blacks want out of there, but they aren't the ones being targeted by the RABID anti-white crazies! And they CAN move to Israel IF they have enough money to be able to keep buying into the lottery VISA system. NO WHITES HAVE SOMEWHERE, BEFORE TRUMP, TO GO!

And since the RABID "KILL THE BOER" consider the Jews in RSA to be well worth killing, too, he's about as insightful as those Jews, living in Europe, in the mid 1930s, closed their eyes and their minds to what was going to happen and tried to just carry on, instead of trying to get out of where they were!
