Straight Facts
It has been an honour to meet with so many WIZO women who have visited Israel to show solidarity with us during this extremely difficult time – and to bear witness to the sites of the atrocities committed on 7 October. Their visits are a testament to the unity of the Jewish people and the strength of our proud Zionist identity.
In this edition of Straight Facts, we revisit the south; examine flaws in South Africa’s case against Israel at the ICJ, look at how casualty numbers are exaggerated and more.
