1. Krtstalnacht redux
Israel Tal ,   Rehovot Israel   (03.23.15)
Kristalnacht all over again
2. Time to go shopping everyone go and buy Israeli Products!!

Fight the anti-semitisim and ignorance!!
3. South Africans against Israel?
tiki ,   belgium   (03.23.15)
The country with staggering criminal numbers, 25% unemployment ( 65% youngsters) and a 'bumping along economy has no other problems than Israel? I suppose not. Like this they keep the 65% unemployed youngsters out of harms way. I wonder what the world would do without an Israel to blame for all their miseries.
4. Truth will out
Gidon Fox ,   Pretoria, South Afri   (03.23.15)
I read the article which certainly was distressing. However, the ridiculous comments demand some form of cogent reply. Jews in South Africa live with no fear of their Jewishness (I am not referring to crime). We are not only represented at all state and national functions but are called upon to open said functions. There are few places better and safer to be a proud practicing Jew. Though it is true that there is a very real anti-Israel bias, please, pray tell, where is there none?
5. Time to leave. And has been for awhile.

government while the rest of the world was condemning it. Now israel is the only apartheid country.
7. To BDS no 6
Claude ,   UK and Cape Town   (03.24.15)
SA Jews were notable in their opposition to Apartheid, From Lilislief, Helen Suzman, the lone voice in parliament to many thousands who supported activists and their families. Not just IL worked with the SA regime, UK, France and US and even the Soviet Union with its covert deals to jointly manipulate the gold price. More importantly today, although BDS screams and shouts, there is a huge supportive black South African community, particularly those from churches and many others who are fearful of the role of Islam in SA and other parts of Africa, Despite the rhetoric from some in the ANC and collapsing COSATU SA IL trade and co operation is booming. This is especially true in agricultural and water technologies. SA trade in other countries like Kenya, Rwanda, Nigeria, Ghana and Angola is very healthy.
