It seems that Judge Richard Goldstone, the respected South African jurist, self-professed Zionist and much-maligned author of the UN’s fact-finding report on Israeli war crimes in Gaza, has been barred by the South African Zionist Federation from attending his own grandson’s bar mitzvah in Johannesburg next month. The SAZF had threatened to protest outside the synagogue, thereby wrecking the child’s ceremony. How nice of them.
Jewish blogger Richard Goldstein can’t control his rage, and I don’t blame him:
[Hat-tip Common Dreams]What have these people come to? What sort of Judaism is this? Do these people even care about religious values? Do they know what it means to be a Jew? Of course they don’t have a religion in that sense because their real religion is Israel.
