South African Jews should be ashamed of themselves

I haven't written a real rant in a long time. Mainly because I feel that it frustrates me too much to concentrate so much negative energy on something that I can't really do much about, however, this one needs to be written. If anybody has issue with me after they have read this post, its too bloody bad.

Attention South African Jews: SHAME ON YOU! All of you. You all sit there in South Africa oblivious to what's going on in your own country and the rest of the world. As long as you have your big house, your fancy car per member of the family, a maid to clean up after you, all is grand in this world. Who needs a conscience when you have GAP patrolling your neighbourhood after all.

In the past few months, the signs of anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism have been all to clear to the rest of us expatriates while the biggest issue in your lives is that some idiot messed up the South African national anthem at the big rugby match.

The funny thing about the South African Zionist is that he is not in the least bit Zionistic. Its not enough to have a Yom Haatzmaut party once a year or to sing HaTikva at school assemblies. The reason why the Muslim world has such a huge influence is not due to their size or numbers. It is due to the fact that every death of every single Palestinian is met with calls of "war crimes" by every Muslim on this planet. They are united against their enemy, be it the West, the Jews or Israel. However, South African Jews are simply to selfish and ignorant to care about anything but the materialistic bullshit that blinds them from the truth that they live in a third-world dump.

Several months ago, Jonathan Garb jeopardized the safety of every El Al passenger who flies from Johannesburg to Israel by exposing the security methods El Al uses to profile passengers. I was in South Africa at the time; there was no outrage, no concern for safety, nobody standing up for the Israeli embassy or El Al or even the safety of South African Jews.

The result - A security officer was deported this Friday. The South African authorities have threatened to deport all El-Al security officers. Well done guys, your apathy has resulted in, what may be, the end of direct flights from SA to Israel. Alternatively, El Al can yield and risk the safety of passengers and the state of Israel - Isn't it a shame that you might not be able to send your children on free birthright trips any more?

In August of this year, a South African had to cut his trip short because his indictment for war crimes had been made public. Two Muslim NGOs are working with a Muslim lawyer to make a case against 75 South Africans who bravely fought for the IDF and risked their lives for the safety of their people and Israel. According to South African "law" - Citizens are prohibited from fighting for another country. Every day, this is becoming a more serious threat. Every day, South Africans in Israel are waiting to hear what the Jews back home are going to do in order to defend them and allow them to come back to their families without the threat of being arrested.

And the more we wait for you to wake up out of your materialistic high, the more frustrated and disappointed we get. Do you think this is going to end at the airport or with soldiers? What about synagogues, Jewish events, Bar Mitzvahs, even your beloved GAP, it will all come to an end if you let these people send your sons to jail for having the balls to defend the country they love. It is your responsibility as a community and as individuals to use the democratic rights that you have to stand up and defend a just cause. Whether you think so or not, your safety as a Jew relies on the existence of Israel. These people are actively trying to destroy it and they are winning because you don't care to help us fight back.

But why should any single South African Jew take a stand for their own people? Its not going to make a difference in your life is it? The house will still be clean, the cars will be there unless you get hijacked - which is just one of those things that happen - and the kids will still go to King David to learn all about Judaism and Israel - or is it because in reality, you don't want your children integrating with blacks and gentiles? Make up your minds, either you want to be assimilated or you don't, you can't sit on the fence unless you openly admit that you are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.

You are Jews and whether you ascribe to that ideology or not means nothing to those who are trying to persecute and destroy us. The Nazis did not ask people how Jewish they were on a scale of one to ten. The genetic connection was all that was needed and that remains true to this day. Left-wing, Right-wing or completely a-political, you do not have a choice in how somebody else identifies you. In their eyes, all Jews are the same.

South African Jews, you have a choice to make. Will you unite with your people and stand up for the South Africans who have sacrificed the material values of life to fight and support the country you claim to love. Or will you do nothing? The maid is not going to clean this mess up for you.
