‘Is the new President the same Avrom Krengel who not only met with PA Chairman Abbas a week after a number of Jews were butchered while davening in Jerusalem and Abbas PA called the butchers Martyrs, and then to add insult to injury Avrom Krengel and Mary Klug could not praise Abbas enough. If it is how can the S African Jewish community allow this appointment to go ahead ?’

‘krengel is an apologist who thinks by wearing a kippa it makes him holy and therefore everything he says and does is correct and in the name of all zionists’

‘Ant, this needs correcting and re-publishing. Stephen Zagey of Likud SA should also appear on the list of vice-chairmen. ‘

‘Hi Mike, This is the list that supplied to us by the Fed. They subsequently asked us to send it back to them to verify that we had been sent all the correct names and offices – which they again confirmed as correct. Please can you take this up with the SAZF and discuss. We will gladly add Stephen to the list if the Fed confirms it.
Best regards, Ant’
