Elder of Ziyon"People Against Gangsterism and Drugs," PAGAD, started in the 1990s as a primarily Muslim group meant to help the government fight the illegal drug trade in Cape Town, South Africa. Soon, though, they became vigilantes, widely believed to be responsible for a series of bombings and assassinations through the decade - including bombing synagogues. They were eventually labeled a terrorist organization by the South African government.
PAGAD kept a low profile for a couple of decades, but they have re-emerged - and their main targets seem to have changed from drug dealers to Jews.
They just issued this press release (excerpts)
People Against Gangsterism & Drugs, Sunday, 21 May 2023PRESS RELEASE:PAGAD support the UCT Palestine Solidarity Forum...We, PAGAD, recognize the growing threat of the Zionist community in South Africa and, more specifically, in Cape Town. We are astutely aware that Zionist organizations are becoming increasingly vocal in their celebration of a terrorist, apartheid regime.Recently, our intelligence sector has actively been investigating the Zionist network in South Africa. We reveal that they, like in the Ukraine, are setting up a 'Little Israel' in Cape Town. Zionist criminals who served in the Israeli army (IDF) are roaming our streets freely, in contravention of the law. They have established a paramilitary-type organization called the CSO (Community Security Organisation), and even a medical unit. There is also an active illegal soldier recruitment programme, that is facilitated and organized at the Israel Centre in Hatfield Road, Cape Town.We urge our government to prosecute these South African recruits serving in the IDF, killing our children.. Just like we have continually offered our support to the Metro Police force in assisting with the drug and gangsterism problem, today we offer our support to arrest Zionist criminals too. All the evidence were presented to the Prosecuting Authority to show that these Zionists are contravening the Foreign Military Assistance Act; yet the lack of action by the authority shows the public that the Western Cape Government is indeed complicit in the harboring of criminals. This complicity is likely to lead members of the public to take matters into their own hands — by making citizen's arrests of those people who serves in the IDF, commits crimes in Palestine, then return to South Africa and other countries. Private criminal prosecutions could also follow thereafter....'Israeli' citizens, with their dual citizenship, are ready to flee Palestine when eventually required to do so; and regards Cape Town as their safe haven. The axis of resistance in South Africa, hereby, sends a clear warning that we will not allow criminals to settle in our affluent areas and occupy our businesses, schools and universities.This statement is merely a warning. We are closely monitoring the Zionist establishments and organizations operating in South Africa. We have confidence in the organizations and individuals based on truth and justice who are leading the solidarity campaign, and we offer our full support in decentralizing the struggle against Satanic Zionist 'Israel'. ......We urge the international community not to support businesses or organisations that fund relationships (whether it be sports, cultural, economic, political, social, etc) with Satanic Zionist 'Israel'. Furthermore, we ask the Muslim Community to withdraw their Halaal Certification from those organisations who supports Satanic Zionist 'Israel'.Finally, we salute our allies nationally and internationally, our leaders in the various structures, our donors, and the soldiers on the ground fighting for a South Africa - free from the vices of the Zionist world order (one being gangsterism and drugs).Sincerely,The People Against Gangsterism & Drugs
This "anti-Zionist" organization is clearly targeting Jews. The Community Security Organization is meant to protect synagogues, schools and events from attack, and Israel or Zionism isn't even mentioned on the Cape Town branch webpage. South African Jews who served in the IDF are doing nothing illegal when they visit home. They are demanding that Muslims to take away Halal certification from Jewish-owned businesses, since how would they know that businesses are "Zionist"?
And there is little doubt that anyone who says that gangsterism and drugs are th "vices of the Zionist World Order" is quite obviously attacking Jews with age-old tropes. No one is fooled by the term "Zionist World Order."
Only a couple of weeks ago, PAGAD held a protest outside the Jewish high school. And last week they proudly displayed a terrorist Hamas flag at another protest.
Also recently, Cape Town "anti-Zionists" were heard chanting, "One Zionist - One Bullet," a clear death threat to the South African Jewish community.
These are direct threats against the Cape Town Jewish community. And no one seems to care, because when antisemites call themselves "anti-Zionist" too many people regard it as a "get out of jail free" card.
