South Africa is a failed, anti-Jew apartheid state. Will no one stand up? Will his teammates take a stand? Will the International Cricket Council (ICC) rebuke South Africa?

South Africa removes Jewish cricketeer as U-19 captain, cites ‘safety concerns’
Jewish cricketeer David Teeger stripped of his title as South Africa’s captain at Under-19 World Cup, following pro-Israel comments he made.

By: Elad Benari, Jan 12, 2024:

Jewish cricketeer David Teeger was stripped on Friday of his title as South Africa’s captain at the Under-19 World Cup, with the reason cited being “concerns for his safety” following pro-Israel comments he made.

In a statement Cricket South Africa (CSA) said, “As is the case with all such events, CSA has been receiving regular security and risk updates regarding the World Cup. We have been advised that protests related to the war in Gaza can be anticipated at the venues for the tournament.”

“We have also been advised that they are likely to focus on the position of the SA Under-19 (SA U19) captain, David Teeger, and that there is a risk that they could result in conflict or even violence, including between rival groups of protestors,” the statement added.

It noted that “CSA has a primary duty to safeguard the interests and safety of all those involved in the World Cup and must accordingly respect the expert advice of those responsible for the safety of participants and spectators.”

“In all the circumstances, CSA has decided that David should be relieved of the captaincy for the tournament. This is in the best interests of all the players, the SA U19 team and David himself. David will remain an important and active member of the squad and we wish him and the team every success in the tournament. The newly appointed captain will be announced in due course,” concluded the statement.

Teeger, who was recognized with a “rising star” honor at a Jewish awards ceremony in October, dedicated the accolade to Israel.

“Yes, I’ve been [given] this award, and yes, I’m now the rising star, but the true rising stars are the young soldiers in Israel,” Teeger said at the time. “And I’d like to dedicate it to the State of Israel and every single soldier fighting so that we can live and thrive in the Diaspora.”

The South African Jewish Board of Deputies (SAJBD) criticized Teeger’s removal as captain as “shameful”.

“There is no basis for this decision, other than the fact that Teeger is Jewish,” read a statement issued by SAJBD national chairperson Karen Milner.

“This is not the first time that Jews have been excluded from sporting bodies in our history. The SAJBD will do everything in its power to fight against this vicious prejudice.”

News of Teeger’s removal as captain comes amid increased tensions between Israel and South Africa, which filed a lawsuit at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza…..

Most of the world pressured SA to end apartheid – let’s see if any country has the same attitude when it’s the Jews who are the victims? Betcha they will do nothing.

Apartheid South Africa was banned from sports including the Olympic Games. Apartheid Israel is a much more brutal state and should be banned from all sports until the brutal illegal military occupation is ended.

For 1930’s NAZI’s it was the Jewish Physics. For those pusillanimous South African NAZI’s it’s the Jewish Cricket. Let’s see where that gets those South African NAZI snotbags.

South Africa should be banned from any and all humanity projects. No more money to South Africa or Africa regarding AIDS treatment.
In fact western countries should ban all travel from South Africa and no travel to Israel from there. Plus Israel needs to stop any science projects with them and withdraw ambassador.

To be fair … this is the ANC … black supremacist socialists (Zulus) …

… not all South Africans.

Hating South Africans for what the black supremacist socialists do … is like blaming us for what the Demokkkrats do … or whatever Leftist party is charge …

Many SA’s are not down with the cause.

Considering South Africa’s appaling human rights records and their persecution and genocide of white farmers. which is still going on a dayly basis, they have really got a hide. Let’s ban them on all sports.
