Strong signs of anti-semitism in the BDS movement [View all]

[King_David]

I grew up in South Africa and spent much of my youth in the sea side city of Cape Town. It’s a beautiful city – some say majestic. There’s a mountain that towers over the city that is as flat as a table – and even has the name of Table Mountain. It is also a very multi-cultural city, with people from all parts of the world who frequent it. There is a Muslim community, a Jewish community, an Indian community, a Chinese community, white and black communities, among others.

But there is a dark shadow that falls over the city of late, and it’s not caused by the mountain. It’s caused by the evil stench of anti-Semitism that permeates throughout elements of this fair city and of this beautiful country.

A couple of days ago, an organization called COSAS (Congress of South African Students), who are affiliated with the ruling African National Congress, decided it would be a good idea to place a pig’s head in the kosher section of a Woolworths grocery store in the suburb of Sea Point, where I used to live. The aim, according to the perpetrators, was at preventing “people who will not eat pork to pretend that they are eating clean meat, when it is sold by hands dripping with the blood of Palestinian children.” Although the BDS claimed it did not support the action, it was equally quick to justify it by saying it was done with “the good intention of helping the people of Palestine”.
