		As Jews we are a small global community, maybe 13 million, maybe a few more or even a few less but how often can we as Jews in our own community talk about the work we do in uniting ourselves.
		As Jews, we talk so much about the importance of tolerance and of respect to others, but within our own communities the power struggles that religious organisations have for the control and influence they seek to maintain is leading to bitter conflict among members of the community.
		As Jews, we have enough problems from anti-Semitism, anti-Israel and other negative issues, so to allow our own internal problems to develop without being resolved is nothing short of a catastrophe facing us with which a bit of thought, could be resolved.

		But while many Jews accommodated the apartheid system with silence, many others were instrumental in its downfall, surrendering lives of comfort and privilege to financially support and even join the fl majority's preeminent liberation organization, the African National Congress.

		Jewish leaders’ policy of inaction was based on the backlash they thought they would have received from their own people for placing them in harms way, said Shimoni, who holds Hebrew U’s Shlomo Argov chair in Israel-Diaspora relations.
		He suggested that since South African Jews are not considered to have been active participants in apartheid, “in hindsight, it seems that despite the moral failure of this policy, the community’s decision not to act seems to have been vindicated.”
		But Shimoni said he believes that Jewish people — with a long history of facing prejudice from the rest of the world — should have provided the South African government with a better example, instead of hiding behind the fact they were marginal outsiders.
