Support of the National Party and Apartheid - Percy Yutar

This paragraph should be deleted. There is no evidence given that Percy Yutar supported the National Party and apartheid. Unlike the US, the public prosecutor in South Africa is not elected, but appointed. He was therefore appointed to his role, and his involvement in the Rivonia Trial does not indicate his support or dissaproval of the National Party or its policies - every prosecutor has a duty to prosecute in accordance with the law regardless of personal scruples - this is a central pillar of legal ethics.

Jewish moderation and liberalism

why the hell this paragraph has a specific reference to communism and socialism?! not only that, it even declines at the end of the reference any general alignment of the jewish community with the communist or socialist parties, so this section draws a direct connection of communism with jews with no apparent reason at all! this reeks of prejudice and borderline racism of whoever wrote that section!

Jews were instrumental in promoting the extension of diplomatic military ties between Israel and South Africa.[5

This article reads like a novel and is ridiculously POV.

.."unfortunately many residents of the Boer republics had limited access to positions in the upper echelons of government." -- ???

"The proudly Zionistic South African Jewish community, through such bodies as the South African Zionist Federation and a number of publications, maintained a cordial relationship with the South African government even though it objected to the policies of Apartheid being enacted." -- Proof? 2600:1700:8369:0:F0DC:B4EB:F68E:69DD (talk) 19:15, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
