The Chief Rabbi who lost his soul

By Anton Harber

On 20 January, Elon Musk gave a Nazi salute during celebrations of Donald Trump’s presidential election victory. We all saw him do it, twice, and he made no attempt to deny that it was anything but intentional.

JDI and its members condemn the horrific murder of Imam Muhsin Hendricks. Imam Muhsin Hendricks was a brave and inspirational spiritual leader within the LGBTQA+ community in South Africa and around the world.

We must protect our communities, particularly the most vulnerable, and continue to fight for a world for everyone and not for the few. Jewish safety is reliant on safety for everyone.

This salute is not an isolated incident. This right-wing ideology of fear and hatred espoused by Trump and Musk - and also by Netanyahu - is a harbinger of what is to come in an era when intolerance and xenophobia are celebrated at the highest levels.

Heil Elon!
The world’s richest man takes the stage at the world’s most-watched event, makes a Nazi salute to the crowd, turns and repeats the same Nazi salute. The reaction of Jewish leaders? Cowardice.

Statement on the Israel-Hamas ceasefire from the Jewish Democratic Initiative of SA: "Tonight’s ceasefire is clumsy, inadequate and months late. But it is the breakthrough that was needed and for that alone it deserves celebrating. 1/2

"We call for it to be ratified as soon as possible, for the urgent release of all hostages and political prisoners, and for an end to the occupation to ensure that this is the last of the wars between the river and the sea."
