The Link ArchivesTitle: The Israeli-South African-U.S. Alliance About This Issue
In March 1985, Denis Goldberg, a Jewish South African sentenced in 1964 to life imprisonment for “conspiring to overthrow the apartheid regime,” was released through the intercession of his daughter, an Israeli, and top Israeli officials, including the president of Israel. Arriving in Israel, Goldberg said that he saw “many similarities in the oppression of blacks in South Africa and of Palestinians,” and he called for a total economic boycott of South Africa, singling out Israel as a major ally of the apartheid regime. A Knesset member moved to deport Goldberg, but the motion was unnecessary. Pledging never to stay in a country that is a major supporter of South African apartheid, Denis Goldberg moved to London. This issue of The Link examines the evidence on which Goldberg, and indeed most of the world community, base their charges. It also documents the many ways in which the U.S. government abets the Israeli-South African alliance. The author, Jane Hunter, is publisher of an independent monthly research report on Israel’s diplomatic and military activities worldwide. Our book review selection is Before Their Diaspora: A Photographic History of Palestinians 1876-1948, written by Walid Khalidi.—John F. Mahoney, Executive Director, March 1986. Contents
