South Africa's Gov't Condemned for Accusations Against Israel – http://hamodia.com

By Hamodia Staff
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday, at the Cabinet meeting in Tel Aviv, addressed the South African government’s demand that the International Court of Justice (ICC) investigate Israel for “genocide” in its war against the Hamas terrorist organization in Gaza.
“I would like to say a word about South Africa’s mendacious pontificating to the effect that Israel ‘is perpetrating genocide.’ No, South Africa, it is not we who have come to perpetrate genocide, it is Hamas. It would murder all of us if it could. In contrast, the IDF is acting as morally as possible; it is doing everything to avoid harming civilians while Hamas is doing everything to harm them and is using them as human shields.
“I ask: Where were you, South Africa, and the rest of those who are preaching at us, when millions were murdered and uprooted from their homes in Syria, Yemen, and other areas? You were not there because everything you are doing now is only hot air and lies. We will continue our defensive war, the justice and morality of which is without peer.”
In a social media post, Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein wrote that by targeting Israel at the ICC, the South African government acts as Iran’s ally and proxy in the Islamic state’s plans to destroy the Jewish state through its multifaceted strategy, a critical element of which is to undermine Israel’s legal and moral right to defend itself.
“In doing so,” Rabbi Goldstein wrote, “President Ramaphosa and his government support Iranian proxy Hamas in its war crimes of using its own civilian population as a human shield to cause maximum Palestinian casualties so as to delegitimize Israel’s just war of self-defense thereby to neutralize its military superiority.”
Rabbi Goldstein noted that there is considerable evidence of the South African government’s growing closeness to Iran and its Hamas proxy over many years.
“As far back as 2007,” he wrote, “the South African government invited Hamas to the country on an official visit, and at the 2017 ANC conference which elected Ramphosa as its president a Hamas delegation was in attendance. Of late, President Ramaphosa led the charge to admit Iran into the BRICS grouping. And in the immediate aftermath of the October 7 massacres, the South African government dispatched its foreign minister to Tehran in a show of support of the Iranian administration.
“Iran’s latest power play to use the ANC government’s historic mantle of the anti-apartheid movement as a weapon is a despicable and cynical use of one of history’s great human rights struggles against racism, in the cause of the world’s oldest form of racism – antisemitism.”
In conclusion, the South African Chief Rabbi writes that the South African action at the ICC should be treated for what it is – an Iranian attack on the Jewish state, on the free world led by the United States, which also endangers Christian communities in Africa vulnerable to Jihadist persecution at the hands of Iranian and Hamas allied terror groups across the continent.
