It’s clear: the SAZF is a disreputab­le body

-

RODNEY Mazinter’s CV confirms he is vice-chairman of the SA Zionist Federation (Cape Council) and a member of the SAZF’s media committee. So be it if Mazinter (plus his hasbara cohorts Sydney Kaye and Charlotte Caine) finds my accurate descriptio­n of him to be an “insulting, uninformed accusation!” His CV vindicates my descriptio­n of him as a “Zionist hasbara propagandi­st”.

The SAZF is a disreputab­le organisati­on with which no self-respecting person should be associated. Capetonian­s will recall the SAZF’s thuggish behaviour in 2011 when the “Goldstone Report” verified Israeli war crimes in Gaza, and Judge Richard Goldstone was smeared by the SAZF as a “self-hating Jew”.

As just one measure of the “good news” lies which Mazinter regularly publishes, he falsely declares that the Panama papers revealed only a single Israeli investor. In fact, the Panama papers revealed the names of 600 Israeli firms and over 850 individual­s. No less than a former US ambassador to Israel, James Cunningham, reported to Washington in 2009 that Israel had become “the promised land for organised crime”. Since Mazinter deigns to claim the virtues of tikkun olam (the pursuit of social justice – Editor), he will doubtless be interested in Richard Silberstei­n’s tikkun olam blog, which reported that Mossad had threatened to unleash cyber-attacks against South Africa’s banks.

Israeli computer technology now also includes binary option (forex trading) “get rich quick” scams that have fleeced tens of billions of dollars from people around the world.

An increasing number of Jews, Muslims and Christians are, however, no longer intimidate­d by Zionist smears of “anti-Semitism” whenever Israeli criminalit­y as a gangster state is exposed.
