Right. What aren’t people getting? When have you ever heard Trump talking about Afrikaners until Elon became his boyfriend?

Just wait til these South Africans figure out they can't afford to hire servants in the US. No more state run medical care either.

Yes the right is now recruiting them. Guess birds of a feather.

Musk's grandfather, Canadian-born "Haldeman, was a pro-apartheid, antisemitic conspiracy theorist who blamed much of what bothered him about the world on Jewish financiers." No surprise here. Read more:

They're getting free care. They're going to be eligible for benefits, Trump said.

The South Africans will now have a pathway to U.S. citizenship and be eligible for government benefits.

Another document seen by NPR included detailed guidance for the South Africans arriving. American family members of Afrikaners granted refugee status would be asked to help them. Those who didn't have family in the country would be "placed in a location that has a local organization to provide you with support," it said.

"Your case manager will pick you up from the airport and take you to housing that they have arranged for you. This housing may be temporary (like a hotel) while a local organization helps you identify more long-term housing," it said.

The South Africans are also informed: "You are expected to support yourself quickly in finding work. Adults are expected to accept entry level employment in fields like warehousing, manufacturing, and customer service. You can work toward higher level employment over time."

They just have to be white.

Apparently that’s the only color of Jew-hater that libs can see.

No they did not

The African people played an outsized role.
Don’t get your facts wrong


Please, please - reading comprehension. I compared South African Jews to...other white South Africans not to Black South Africans (if you are going to call my comment into question, then use the correct language of the liberation struggle).

Hilda/Rusty Bernstein
Arthur Chaskalson
Johnny Clegg
Colin Coleman
Ruth First
Arthur Gavshon
Denis Goldberg
Nadine Gordimer
Helen Joseph
Ronnie Kasrils
Benjamin Pogrund
Albie Sachs
Joe Slovo
Ben Turok
Harold Wolpe

And that is just a short list.

The heroes of the liberation struggle are overwhelmingly the Black South Africans. My comment, however, was simply directed to the proportion of Jewish South Africans who were anti-apartheid activists in comparison to the rest of their white demographic cohort. Some estimate that the disproportionate representation was by as much as 2500%.

All to say, I'm not necessarily surprised that a white South African refugee may be both a racist and an anti-semite.


Don't forget Judge Richard Goldstone who helped dismantle apartheid from the bench, helped lead the transition and post-apartheid healing process, and was later integral to the effort to make ethnic cleansing a crime against humanity.

Sounds pretty normal.

I had a refugee friend years ago. They didn't have any family and the government provided them assistance with food and housing, and I think the local mosque helped them out with clothing. Wife was a homemaker, and the husband got a blue-collar job pretty quickly. As his English got better and he proved himself he was able to move them to an apartment in a nicer area. The wife got a job after a year or so too.

If these guys are farmers and speak English, they should be able pretty quickly to find something. Cashier/stock (especially someplace like Tractor Supply where they could also familiarize themselves with American varieties and methods) bussing tables anywhere, Amazon warehouse.

They'll be fine.

Yes only Muslim antisemitism is bad. White antisemitic racists are okay!

You are attempting to rewrite history
Apartheid was mainly created to benefit the mining sector.
If you like, google the list of Rand lords, and then familiarize yourself with the conditions for the workers in the mines.
SA Jews were happy with the government and only Helen Suzman took a moderate approach.
The rest were as content as Nelson Mándelas prosecutor

Get a grip.

But sure - these white Afrikaaners fleeing supposed persecution by black people are the paradigm of social-justice minded equity supporters.

He's rabidly Pro-Israel, so it's fine according to the ADL.

Boy, Zionists just reveal themselves with this BS. Evil ppl claiming this actual antisemite is the same as college students getting grabbed off the street for writing a f***ing piece in their college paper about boycotting Israel.

This is why you ppl are losing. Musk does a Sieg Heil and the ppl so concerned about "antisemitism" brush it off because he's cool with slaughtering Palestinians. A child entertainer getting investigated by the DOJ because she speaks out for ALL children and that offended a bunch of Zionists who get off on the idea of Palestinian children orphans being amputated w/o anesthesia

Do you Zionists comprehend who your allies are? THIS GUY IS YOUR ALLY. You are left w/ absolute filth while you attack ppl like Ms. Rachel. You are insidious.

No one is rewriting history here. There were Jewish Americans who fought in the civil rights movement and others who benefited from the status quo. Same in South Africa with the apartheid state. Do some research as opposed to repeating falsehoods.

And yes, I forgot Goldstone though my focus was primarily on Jewish South Africans who had been in exile or worked directly with the liberation movement.
