South Africa’s chief rabbi supports Donald Trump — but says his refugee program for Afrikaners is a ‘mistake’

Really? Funky.

[JesusIsLord]

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.

Ding..ding...ding !!!! You win the prize for pointing out the Rabbi's gross hypocrisy.

[Wallace T.]

I understand that the Netherlands, Germany, and France have not opened doors to the Afrikaners, most of whom emigrated from Europe in the 17th Century. After over a dozen generations in South Africa, how would you determine if your heritage was Dutch, German or French? Someone with a French surname may be 80-90% Dutch. Israel offers an unlimited right to return for all Jews, although I imagine they would hesitate for someone only fractionally Jewish in genetics or who was not Jewish culturally or religiously. Ireland allows the Irish diaspora to return if an applicant has one grandparent born in that country.

Is the rabbi black?

[Zionist Conspirator]

Israel and South Africa were both targets of the Communist world during the Cold War though Jewish libs and "paleocons" still deny it. It's bad enough that various hypocrites tie themselves in knots claiming that South Africa is on the "right" and Israel is on the "left" without a Chief Rabbi (meaning Orthodox) feeling the need to "tip toe" to avoid offending such people.

Ironically, it has long been forgotten that at one time the Afrikaners were solidly on the Left. The Left supported them during the Boer Wars (which were interpreted as wars against capitalism) and one Afrikaner member of the SA parliament in the early 20th century caused a furor by singing the old socialist song The Red Flag. As late as the 1920s one of the complaints of South African socialists was that capitalism didn't care what color one's skin was (while socialists did).

Similarly the ancestors of many American farmers in the Midwest and elsewhere were radical Left in their economic views back in the 1890's. Some of that old leftist anti-capitalism still exists in some of the rhetoric against "finance capital," "usury," and You Know Who.

Oooooooops...that should have been MOR.

He always says about the same thing.

[nopardons]

There’s DNA and the Huguenots, who fled to The Netherlands and then went off to what is now RSA, still have Dutchified spelled FRENCH last names.

[miliantnutcase]

Easy for them to say from their Miami townhome.

[nopardons]

WHAT............WHAT THE BLEEDING HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, VIS-A-VIE THE BOER WAR?

That was a war of COLONIAL EXPANSION for the Brits!It had NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with "Capitalism"!

[Toddsterpatriot]

What misdeeds?

[MacNaughton]

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!

Islam is growing in SA.

[Captainpaintball]

The blackmail. Have you heard of a guy named Jeffery Epstein? Start there. Then go to AIPAC. The spying. Then go to the Lavon Affair to hiding intel one Beirut and then go to 9/11 and the War on Terror. Look into HIAS and all the other NGOs. Barbara Roche. Barbara Lerner Specter. Ronit Lentin. Nuclear tech theft which went to Israel AND the Russians.

Even Communist China couldn't be what they are today without Jewish influence. At our expense. The filth in hollywood, from the beginning all the way to Harvey and gangster rap in the music industry.

[Toddsterpatriot]

So if the Jews destroy South Africa, no one will notice Jeffrey Epstein?

[Captainpaintball]

Are you being stupid on purpose?

[Toddsterpatriot]

Does repeating your claims make me sound stupid? Weird.

[nopardons]

Yes, I know.

[nopardons]

That’s a damned LIE and YOU are disgusting for posting that and believing it!

[nopardons]

It’s just anti-Semitic LIES and about as factual as claiming that the moon is made of green cheese!

[nopardons]

Absolutely NOTHING that you have posted if factual, nor does it have ANYTHING AT ALL to do with what is and has been happening in RSA, for many decades!

You neither know nor understand one single FACTUAL thing about RSA!
