The SAJBD says being singled out and held accountable for the actions of the State of Israel is racist, as is the untruth that 'all Jews have dual citizenship.'

The Jewish Board of Deputies on Thursday has lambasted the Congress of South African Trade Unions for singling it out and holding it accountable for the actions of the State of Israel. “Despite this, they have singled it out for aggressive protest action. This shows yet again that they believe South African Jews to be answerable for the actions of a foreign state and as being collectively guilty of what their co-religionists elsewhere in the world are supposedly doing. This is clearly racist,” the statement said.
“This too is racist,” the SAJBD said, adding that it was a “classic antisemitic smear that Jews care only for themselves” and are fundamentally disloyal to the countries where they live.
