I don't get the anti-semitism. It's so odd because you see it from the left and from the right.  Granted, it's especially nasty from the right-wingers. But even on the left, some of that "anti-zionist/anti-Israeli" rhetoric is masking bigotry towards Jews. And I'm speaking as a White gentile, who is politically to the far left.

But really I would like to tell you that I think your film is very good. I enjoyed it. It's the sort of cultural history that I find fascinating.

@MrRedFredSaid - yes, it shows the reality of that society the way it was. and of course, how it changed me. I left South Africa because of apartheid. Tnanks for the comp.,but its a Natalie Haziza film she made as a student. She made an autobiographical movie also about South Africa called 'Lullaby'.

Does the Jewish Government School ( I mean the building) in Hillbrow still exist? Fabio

[theblum2004]

? as far as I know there was never a jewish government school in hillbrow... there are 2 private day schools in johannesburg for many years. hillbrow is a no-go area even for police. drugs and crime. like your animation.

[theblum2004]

yes, they should be grateful to be murdered and tortured and live in fear. only masochists are left there. I'm a masochist and we only have crucifiction in Israel, which is a doddle. I go back to be stabbed regularly, but being shot is a bit of a pain in the ass. Of course its only the bloody Jews who brought about black rule. Its their fault as usual. The innocent christians like Mr. and Mrs Aldersy are only victims and left because of the jews

[Aldersy]

Do Jews EVER stop complaining about so-called "anti-semetism"? If you were so against apartheid could you explain to me why, now that it's ended, so many South African Jews have immigrated to other western countries.

[theblum2004]

Maybe Jews keep complaining because people like you and your arab brothers are determined to pick up where hitler left off. Your greatest victories are blowing fetuses in their jewish mothers wombs.

And maybe South African Jews (and more christians like you) dont like being murdered and raped in their homes for a few hundred rand.

Mark Blumberg:

1. Your antisemitism is your imaginary like a Polish antisemitsm in1968

2. Maybe the Afrikaners didn't like Jews like Joe Slovo.

3. Neistadt or Neustadt; Germany or Lithuania? There are 34 cities named Neustadt in the world, mainly in Germany and Eastern Europe and the name Neustadt means simply a new city, but it doesn't matter to you, does it?! You simply move to a new Neustadt to screw it up as you did in SA. Jews voted for ANC in 1994. You're persona non grata in Israel, too

@theblum2004 How do you feel about South Africa now? Can Jews live in SA? Would you return? Are most Jews fleeing the country?

[djonutube]

i don't know why.... I have jewish friends and separately i also have south african friends both are great people. But specifically the South African-Jews i've encountered are the worse type of people i have ever met in my life. just horrible horrible.... I am not catergorising them all in one group but that is from my experience.

[MrRedFredSaid]

1. So you are the guy being interviewed?

2. How old were you when you left South Africa?

[imhotep1]

@theblum2004 Israel supported apartheid, so what's happening now is payback. I don't feel sorry for South African non Black immigrants who complain. F*** YOU!
