SAUPJ Press Release: No meeting with Hamas
Press Release on behalf of the South African Union for Progressive Judaism (SAUPJ) and the South African Association of Progressive Rabbis (SAAPR)
20 Oct 2015
It has been reported in the media that Hamas representatives will meet with a “Progressive Jewish Group” during their visit to South Africa. We have no knowledge of the source of this notice and have no dealings or intentions of meeting with Hamas.
We call on Hamas to distance themselves from anti-Semitism and terror and to remove from their Charter the aim of killing Jews.
Rabbi Greg Alexander
Chairman
SA Association of Progressive Rabbis
