South African Chief Rabbi Dr. Warren Goldstein spoke at the AIPAC conference in Washington and decried the international silence on the slaughter of Africans by Islamic terror groups.
“We cannot turn the other way. As G-d said to Cain in the Book of Genesis, ‘The blood of your brother calls out to me from the ground.'”
“A few days ago, gunmen from the Islamic State stormed a school in the town of Kuriga in Nigeria, and kidnapped 287 children from their morning assembly. The terrorists rode through the school on motorbikes firing their weapons and rounding up students aged 8-15.”
“The horror is unspeakable and unending. A decade after the 2014 mass kidnappings by Boko Haram from the Chibok village, in northern Nigeria, when 276 young girls were kidnapped, about 100 of them are still missing today.”
“These kinds of atrocities are widespread across the continent. Just last week gruesome images emerged of a group of village elders being beheaded by ISIS in Mozambique, a country on South Africa’s northern border.”
“It seems as if Black lives do not matter if they are taken by jihadists in Africa,” he concluded.

YWN, why did you leave out the Rabbi’s words “It seems” from in front of the statement “black lives don’t matter” in the headline, it changes the entire context of the statement to make it sound like the Chief Rabbi is actually saying that black lives don’t matter when he was actually advocating for them. It’s either sloppy journalism or done intentionally to make the headline more sensational. Either way it’s a disgrace.
All lives matter……however the classification of color seems to be only with those outside of being jewish….we love who we are…..as for the other monsters I won’t touch this with a pole….however I would say…..check the numbers…..they balance towards evil….SA Rabbi, you don’t live in Israel which makes things different completely……until war over ONLY MY PEOPLE COUNT……except those like Glazer, `Schumer, Sanders and many more who claim to be and are not….as for those who married gentiles….totally out….
