Gilad Shalit speaks from captivity
As loyal citizens of the Republic of South Africa, we, members and supporters of the Jewish community, exercise our democratic right of freedom of opinion, expression and association to declare publicly our support for the justice of the cause of the State of Israel.
Our commitment to Israel has as its foundation our historic and religious connection to the land and the unbroken Jewish presence there for thousands of years, a bond which has been sanctified
by G-d.
We are proud Zionists, proud of the miraculous and outstanding achievements of the State of Israel which has been a beacon of freedom and democracy since its establishment more than 60 years ago.
We encourage all South Africans to live and act in the spirit of the Bill of Rights of South Africa and our motto, “Unity in Diversity” by respecting our democratic right as loyal South Africans to support Israel.
We call on the South African government and the international community to negotiate for the immediate release of abducted Isra Eli soldier, Gilad Shalit, held in Gaza by the Hamas since 25 June 2006.
As a community, we hope and pray for a peaceful and lasting resolution to the Middle East conflict. April 2009 To add your name to support the declaration,
