UPDATE: SA Jewish Board of Deputies condemns genocidal chanting ‘Shoot the Jew’

STATEMENT by Mary Kluk 2 September 2013
SAJBD says that BDS-South Africa has even ‘sought to justify this incitement to violence “Shoot the Jew” chant condemned by SAJBD: “What was supposed to have been a silent demonstration against a concert by an Israeli jazz quartet at Wits University last Wednesday turned ugly when some of the protestors chanted “Dubula e Juda – ‘Shoot the Jew’ – outside the venue.
The protest was organised by BDS-South Africa, an organisation that campaigns for a boycott of anything to do with Israel, whether in the cultural, academic, economic or any other sphere.
And moreover – rather than condemning this incitement to violence against South African Jews and distancing his organisation from those calls, Muhammed Desai, Coordinator of BDS-SA, has sought to justify it. As quoted by the Wits Vuvuzela, he said, “Just like you would say kill the Boer at funeral during the eighties it wasn’t about killing white people, it was used as a way of identifying with the apartheid regime”. Desai further commented, “The whole idea anti-Semitism is blown out of proportion”.
The SA Jewish Board of Deputies (SAJBD) deplores this blatant incitement to racist violence against the South African Jewish community. It further finds it deeply shocking that that BDS-SA, an organisation that purports to stand up for human rights, refuses to acknowledge that it is doing anything wrong by propagating it.
SAJBD National Chairman Mary Kluk believed that by allowing its members to make such hateful and dangerous statements and subsequently defending them for doing so, BDS-SA had revealed its true colours.
“What this incident unmistakeably shows is that BDS-SA’s real agenda is not to stand up for the Palestinian cause but to incite hatred, and possibly even violence, against Jewish South Africans” she said, “South Africa, in view of its own tragic past of bigotry, racism and violence, simply cannot tolerate this kind of hateful, inflammatory rhetoric, whether aimed at the Jewish community or against any other sector of South African society”.
Kluk also remarked on how distressing it was that the calls for violence against the Jewish community had taken place at Wits, an institution that had throughout its existence upheld the values of tolerance, understanding, respect for diversity and academic freedom. She praised the Wits leadership for standing firm in the face of threats and intimidation by anti-Israel activists to cancel the concert and for ensuring that all the security arrangements were in place to allow it to go ahead without being disrupted. The only sad thing, she said, was that it had been necessary for such extensive security measures to have been required at all.The SAJBD is following up the incident and will be taking appropriate action.

============================
South African pro-Palestinian journalist Tehillah Niselow, a (Jewish) journalist at PowerFM987 radio Johannesburg, apparently ‘has no problem with the song ‘Shoot the Jew’ — judging by her own remarks afterwards. This journalist was clearly visible on the video, smiling approvingly when hearing the song ‘kill the Jew’ being sung on August 29 2013 at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg — while she was watching Jewish South Africans file past the protestors. The rentamob in brand-new tshirts and printed posters protested at the exit to the concert-hall against the appearance of Daniel Zamir, an Israeli classical saxophonist at the Wits University concert on 29 August 2013. Ms Niselow allegedly afterwards then ‘demanded ‘proof that the song Kill the Jew was sung’. But then she allegedly wrote later ‘there is nothing wrong with the song’.

Recorded reaction from concert-goer: “Hearing these hatemongers, is like listening to nazi speeches in prewar Berlin. This (Muhammad) Desai and his cohorts (who organized the protest on August 29 2013) need to be prosecuted for hatespeech. It’s already been ruled that the “Kill the Boer” slogan is hatespeech, so in the face of that fact, the hate here is clearly delineated.”

South African protesters sing “Shoot the Jew” instead of “Shoot the Boer” at concert of saxophonist Daniel Zamir
August 29, 2013 By Daniel Greenfield, Front Page Magazine: ” We’ve discussed “Shoot the Boer” before. It’s one of those cheerful anti-Apartheid songs about shooting white people. Now it’s been narrowed down in its specificity by the BDS pro-terrorist crowd. Its coordinator Muhammed Desai says ‘anti-semitism played no role in our protest’, telling ‘Wits Vuvuzela’that ‘the whole idea of anti-Semitism is blown out of proportion. The concert at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa featuring Israeli saxophonist Daniel Zamir turned ugly Wednesday night when members of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) group began to sing, “dubula e juda” (“shoot the Jew”) as concert attendees were entering the music hall, according to Wits Vuvuzela, a paper affiliated with the university. ” Wits Vuvuzela” student publication, reported that BDS protestors also chanted “there is no such thing as Israel” and “Israel apartheid.” Despite the hateful rhetoric, Muhammed Desai, coordinator of BDS South Africa, rejected the notion that anti-Semitism played a role in the group’s protest, telling Wits Vuvuzela that “the whole idea [of] anti-Semitism is blown out of proportion.” Writes Greenfield in Front Page Magazine: “Clearly. I’m not sure what the right proportion for inciting the murder of Jews would be. Based on what most supporters of terrorism think, any criticism of that sort of thing is out of proportion.”
