A heartfelt thank you to Reverend Meshoe for supporting Israel
What a joy to read Reverend Kenneth Meshoe’s Israeli birthday greetings in the April 27 issue of your newspaper.

He and his whole family’s love for the Jewish people and Israel should fortify us as we worry about anti-Semitism.
To read his magnificent recognition of Israel’s amazing achievements is wonderful, but to hear him address an audience is profoundly moving. As a proud and grateful member of the Jewish community, I’m sure I speak for many of our brethren when I say a heartfelt “thank you” to him and his lovingly supportive family for their unswerving dedication to Israel.
Prior to the last election, Reverend Meshoe’s African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) was the only party to defend Israel in Parliament. Accordingly, my family and I voted ACDP. We certainly will again as they continue to grow their remarkable organisation, DEISI – an acronym for “Defend, Embrace, Invest in and Support/Stand by Israel”.
