Anti-semitism Increasing in South Africa’s Constitutional Crisis

As the bitterness between the Nationalist Government of South Africa and the opposition increases in the current Constitutional crisis “anti-Semitism bubbles up all over the Nationalist benches” in Parliament, the local press reported today.

It was pointed out that in the four years of Nationalist rule of the Union there has never been such an outburst of anti-Semitism as at present. One correspondent wrote that “phrases like the ‘Jewish danger’ can be heard floating up to the public galleries” from the deputies’ seats.
