...We have not left that tradition,
and we sometimes think that maybe
our Jewish friends have." Young
was asked, “And what makes you
think that?”
“The invasion of Lebanon.” he
replied. Conceding that Lebanon
indeed was not a black issue, Young
nonetheless declared. “It’s a justice
issue. It’s a peace issue.” Young also
specified Israeli links to South
Africa, explaining: “There is a rela
tionship between Israel and South
Africa because there is a Jewish
population in South Africa that’s
quite significant.”
Recently, the black community
has indeed focused on Israel’s com
paratively minor involvement with
South Africa. At the same time,
philosophical and economic alli
ances—such as the Farrakhan-
Khaddafi connection—are being
made with Arab nations. Young
denied that black outrage over
Israeli-South African relations was
artificial or over-emphasized, and
scoffed at the notion that the Arab
states are leading supporters of
South Africa through their regular
oil shipments. “I’d love to know
that, and document that in any
way...I had not heard that be
fore,” said Young in disbelief. He

added that the Arabs would indeed
be chastised by the black commun
ity if anyone could prove they were
sending oil to South Africa. Young
stated that the apartheid nation
had been obtaining its oil “from
the British and North Sea oil
sources."
But the facts are otherwise.
Lloyd’s Shipping Records, widely
publicized by anti-apartheid
groups, document that in one recent
survey period alone, of 49 oil tankers
reaching South Africa, 76 percent
originated from four countries:
mostly from Saudi Arabia, with
the remainder divided between the
United Arab Emirates, Oman and
Iran. There is no way to tell how
much oil from other Arab nations
is co-mingled with the four countries
cited, in particular between Syria
and Iran, allies in the current Gulf
War. Total Arab oil shipments
exceed $2 billion annually and con
stitute an indispensable energy fac
tor in South Africa’s economic
viability.
It is well-known that most West
ern, African and even Communist
bloc nations enjoy commerce with
South Africa. But Arab oil sales
are estimated to exceed the trade
volume of South Africa’s greatest
Western trading partners: the U.S
Great Britain and Japan. Arab
customers have been more than
willing to trade oil for South Africa’s
precious diamonds and gold. And
Arabs have routinely invested in
South African multinational cor
porations. By comparison. Israel
accounts for less than one percent
of South African trade.
While there is indeed a small
community of Jews in South Afri
ca—about about 115,000 comprising
about three percent of the white
population, there is an equal if not
larger Moslem community of more
than 177,000. They enjoy extensive
links with their homelands.
Zionism has always been anti
apartheid and in favor of helping
liberate Black Africa. At the turn
of the century, Theodor Herzl,
founder of modern political Zion
ism, wrote: “Once 1 have witnessed
the redemption of the Jews, my
people, I wish also to assist in the
redemption of the Africans.” It
wasn’t until 1975 that an increas
ingly isolated Israel permitted a
South African Embassy to open,
and even then the Israeli govern
ment took the occasion to reiterate
its unswerving opposition to apart
heid.
Certainly, the crucial element
here is not the ability to discover
the facts, but the willingness to
believe the easy lies. For this rea
son, it is possible and indeed con
venient to focus on Israel in black
America’s struggle with South Afri
ca.
South Africa is of course not the
only flashpoint between blacks and
Jews. The best heralded one is over
the issue of quotas and affirma
tive action. In a nutshell, Jews have
always been the leading proponents
of affirmative action, but oppose
numerical quotas because for cen
turies quotas have been the classic
mechanism of persecution. “Quo
tas that can be used to include can
also be used to exclude,” explains a
source at the Anti-Defamation
League.
On this issue, Young readily
admits, “When quotas are used to
