The South African Jewish Board of Deputies and South African Zionist Federation incorrectly presume themselves to be the representatives of all South African Jews, disseminating inaccurate and racist comments in the process, which the South African Jews for a Free Palestine rejects.
In recent weeks, leaders of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies (SAJBD) and South African Zionist Federation (SAZF) have made dehumanising remarks about Palestinians, ostensibly on behalf of all Jewish South Africans. They have also made inflammatory comments about the South African government.
