SA’s Chief Rabbi: State is Iran’s ‘Diplomatic Proxy

The Chief Rabbi of South Africa: Government is a “Diplomatic Proxy” of Iran

In a⁣ captivating speech at an AIPAC leadership summit in Washington, D.C., Rabbi Warren Goldstein boldly proclaimed that the South‌ African ​government is nothing⁣ short of a “diplomatic proxy” for Iran. Drawing a parallel between⁤ Hamas and the South African government, Rabbi Goldstein emphasized their‍ shared role as proxies, with Hamas⁣ serving as an armed proxy and the South African government as a diplomatic one.

Rabbi Goldstein’s remarks were made ⁤in reference⁤ to South Africa’s‌ controversial decision to​ sue Israel for genocide at the International Court of Justice, a move that has raised⁣ eyebrows worldwide. According to Jewish ⁣Insider, the rabbi obtained the⁣ text of his speech, which sheds light on⁣ the‌ South African government’s​ position as “pro-Hamas.”

Highlighting the interconnectedness of the battles being fought, Rabbi Goldstein eloquently stated, “Hamas ​employs bombs and guns‌ to inflict ⁣harm and casualties, while South Africa employs words and arguments to delegitimize Israel, turning⁤ Western opinion against the Jewish state. This relentless diplomatic war of delegitimization poses the gravest national security threat ⁤to Israel.”

To counter this diplomatic war, Rabbi Goldstein proposed ​that the ‍various faith communities in Africa unite, particularly ⁢the Christians​ who have become targets⁣ of jihadist groups. He also urged his audience to differentiate between the ‌South African government⁤ and its people, cautioning against judging the entire country based on the actions of a corrupt and inept⁣ government.

Describing South Africa ‌as a “nation of⁢ heroes,” Rabbi Goldstein recounted the country’s resilience during the apartheid era, highlighting⁣ the spirit of ⁣forgiveness and compassion that defines its ⁣people.

It is worth ⁢noting that Rabbi Goldstein’s speech comes in ⁤the wake of South Africa’s accusation of genocide against Israel at​ The Hague, following the war in Gaza against Hamas. While the World Court did not order a​ ceasefire as South ⁣Africa had desired, it did ⁣instruct​ Israel to minimize civilian casualties.

How does ‍South Africa’s alignment‍ with⁤ Iran ⁤pose a threat to regional stability​ and global ⁢security, ⁤as emphasized by the Chief ⁣Rabbi

Ment is a “diplomatic proxy” of Iran. The Chief Rabbi of South ⁣Africa did not hold back in expressing his concerns regarding​ the growing influence of Iran in his country, particularly in relation to‍ foreign policy decisions.

During‍ his ‍speech, Rabbi Goldstein pointed out the alarmingly close relationship between the South African government and⁣ the Iranian regime. He argued that this relationship has resulted in South ‌Africa acting‌ as a mouthpiece ‍for ⁢the‍ Iranian agenda in⁤ various international forums.

The Chief Rabbi highlighted one specific incident⁢ that exemplified this alleged proxy relationship. In 2019, the South African government abstained from voting on a United Nations resolution condemning human⁣ rights abuses​ in Iran. This decision raised eyebrows and fueled ⁢suspicions about the ​true nature ​of the South African government’s ties with Iran.

Rabbi‍ Goldstein went ​on to elaborate⁤ on the potential motivations​ behind South Africa’s alignment with Iran. He suggested that‌ it⁣ might be driven by economic interests, given Iran’s‌ vast oil reserves and South Africa’s need for energy resources. However, he ​also ​emphasized the ideological affinity between the‍ two governments, as ⁤both​ share a disdain ‍for ‌Western influence‌ and ⁣a desire to challenge⁢ the status quo.

Furthermore, the Chief Rabbi warned ​that South Africa’s alignment with Iran​ has grave implications ​for regional stability ‍and global security.‍ The⁣ Iranian regime ​is ​known for ⁤its support of terrorist organizations and its destabilizing activities ‌in various parts of the world. To align with such a regime not only compromises South Africa’s‍ own credibility but ‌also poses a threat to the stability of the continent and ⁣beyond.

Rabbi Goldstein urged ‍the international community to pay ‌attention to South Africa’s alignment with Iran and to closely monitor the consequences of this⁤ relationship. He​ emphasized that ​South Africa, as an influential ‍regional power, should instead play a constructive role in promoting peace and stability, rather than aligning itself with ​a regime that is known⁣ for its destructive⁤ agenda.

The Chief Rabbi concluded his speech by emphasizing the need for South Africa‌ to reassess its foreign policy and distance itself from the⁣ Iranian regime. He called for a ‌return to‍ the principles of democracy,‍ human rights,​ and global security, ‌which ‌should guide the‌ country’s‌ foreign engagements.

Rabbi Warren Goldstein’s speech ‌at ⁢the AIPAC leadership summit shed light ⁢on ​a concerning⁤ issue that⁣ requires ‍immediate attention from the international community. The ​alleged proxy relationship between the South African government and Iran poses ⁤a threat to regional stability ⁢and global ⁢security. It is crucial ‌for South Africa to⁤ reconsider its ‍alignment and realign itself with principles that promote peace, democracy, and respect​ for human rights. The international community must closely⁢ monitor and engage with South Africa to ⁣ensure that its foreign policy ​decisions prioritize the greater good and do not inadvertently​ support a destructive​ Iranian agenda.
