South Africa extends condolences to Australia following Sydney attacks
South African Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation
“The Government of the Republic of South Africa extends its deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy to the people and Government of the Commonwealth of Australia following the tragic terrorist attacks in Sydney.
“Our thoughts are with all those affected, especially the families and friends of the victims. We condemn this senseless violence, which appears to have targeted the Jewish faithful while they were lighting candles for Chanukah at Bondi Beach. There is no justification for terrorism or attacks on any group based on faith or identity.
“South Africa stands in solidarity with Australia during this period of mourning and grief.”

“Senseless violence that ‘appears’ to target the Jewish community?” It did not ‘appear’ to be an attack, it was a ‘direct attack’. Are the ANC incapable of facing the reality that their big buddies, savage Islamists, are behind almost every senseless murder of Jews across the Middle East and Europe?
