The premonition of Charlottesville ~ echo from Jewish news in South Africa!

White Supremacist flag

Donald Trump and White Supremacist cults on notice. 

Charlottesville is an international metaphor for hate. This echo opinion was published in the Jewish Report, in Johannesburg, South Africa! Although it was written in August 2017, the message was prophetic in tone because it could also have been written on Shabbat (Jewish Sabbath), Saturday October 27, 2018, from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania's Tree of Life Synagogue.*

There are many aspects of the Charlottesville, Virginia rally that one can discuss. One thing that struck me was the sight of the Confederate flag side by side with the Nazi flag. 

Ghostly image - The KKK and neo-Nazis marching together.

These groups demonise “the other”.

Jews and people of colour should realise that, when it comes to such closed-minded people like those who were with *Unite the Right* in Charlottesville, the distance between anti- Semitism and racism based on colour, is not far.

We have both suffered greatly in our histories at the hands of those who hate us, just because of what we are. Africans and Jews would do well to recognise this. We should work together to strengthen our ties… because we actually have a lot in common.

Jewish + African-Americans = work together to fight White Supremacists and Antisemitism!
