Jewish Report www.sajr.co.za Photo: Flash90 Photo: Vehicles used as a terrorist weapon The scene where a car crashed into Jerusalem’s Ammunition Hill in a Palestinian terrorist attack on October 22 when Abdel Rachman al-Shaludi rammed his car into a crowd at a Jerusalem light rail station, killing two people, one a three-month-old baby and the other SA-born Dalya Lemkus. In a new pattern of using vehicles as “terrorist weapons”, on November 5 another terrorist, Ibrahim al-Akari used his van as a weapon against pedestrians, killing two more people. The seemingly randomness of the attacks is particularly terrifying. The two terrorists have both been lauded as “heroes” by Palestinian Media Watch. Stronger action by American lawmakers has been urged to curb this trend.

(page 4) Jewish Report www.sajr.co.za Photo: Ilan Ossendryver Photo: Proudly Jewish, proudly South African The energy was palpable at a march in Cape Town last week to protest against BDS-SA for inviting terrorist Leila Khaled to do a fundraising tour for them in South Africa. Mary Kluk, chairman of the South Jewish Board of Deputies, who organised the protest, said in her address that BDS was importing its own narrow and distorted agenda of demonising Israel and that its actions were leading to a conflation of anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism. The protesters chanted: “No to Terrorism” and expressed their pride in being “proudly South African, and proudly Jewish”. Demonstrators pictured include (front row) Li Boiskin, past chairman of the Cape SAJBD; Gwynne Robins, senior researcher at the Cape SAJBD; Wendy Kahn, national director of the SAJBD; and Mary Kluk, national chairman of the SAJBD.
