Question mark behind statement that ‘humanity is respected’ in SA
Last week Friday, I read on a website an article about the Shabbos Project of Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein.

This in itself is a very much blessed project. However, what I would like to comment on is his quoted response to the question about the difference between Europe and South Africa regarding anti-Semitism, which was that in South Africa “humanity is respected”.
As far as I understand, Rabbi Goldstein tries to claim that “humanity is respected” in South Africa “more than it is in Europe”.
My question therefore is: How is that so? Has Rabbi Goldstein never heard about farm murders in South Africa? About other acts of black-on-white racism? About Julius Malema and his openly genocidal EFF? About President Jacob Zuma singing “Kill the Boer”?
How is that supposed to be “respect for humanity”, and where can such things be found in Europe?
Silence and denial of farm murders and things like that is appalling; it is time to wake up.
