Darren Bergman MP
Many party leaders sit on this committee and some of the most professional officials I have ever worked with make up the department. We have been privy to the department’s strategy documents, foreign briefings and South Africa’s involvement in organisations such as the SADC, AU and IPU.
While I agree with everything that Gruzd says, I think it is important to note some naked truths.

‘The Honorable Bergman says ‘ I had to point out the error and misconceptions of all Jews being Israeli’
in fact all Jews should identify as Israeli and there should be no difference of identity between Jews and Israelis’

‘Gary is quite right. The term Jew or Jewish people does not appear in our Torah even once. We are Bnei Yisrael or Am Yisrael.
A \”Jew\” outside of Israel is in reality an Israeli in exile.
This is what we should teach our children from a young age. Then as they grow up they might find their true identity and perhaps yearn for their real home.
