  • South Africa
    Union of South Africa ITH A GENERAL ELECTION due in the spring of 1958, political conflict W between the government and opposition grew sharper during the period under review (July 1, 1956, through June 30, 1957). There was increased tension in race relations between Europeans (whites) and non-Europeans (Negroes, Asiatics, mulattoes). Anglican and Catholic churches went on record against government apartheid (segregation) policies. Jews, divided with other sections of the European population on the issues involved, steered clear of the conflict as a community, though they participated in the various parties as individual citizens. Internally, the Jewish community, stirred by Israel's Sinai campaign of October-November 1956 (see p. 376), responded in increased measure to the Israeli United Appeal; domestically, it devoted intensified effort to the stabilization of communal finances. Political Developments The general background of current South African politics has been broadly traced in preceding volumes of the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK. It should be reiterated that the clash between government and opposition on apartheid did not concern the general principle of segregation (to which all the political parties except the small Liberal Party and the banned Com- munist Party subscribed). It was the forms which such segregation should take and the extent to which it should be enforced by law that were under dispute. Most Jews shared the general European attitude. In October 1956 South Africa withdrew from active participation in the United Nations (though remaining a dues-paying member) in protest against continued attacks on its racial policies, which it held to be within its sole domestic jurisdiction.
