<Jews in the Armed Forces.

[Jews in South African forces during World War I and World War II]

Jewish service as volunteers in the armed forces of the nation dates back to the Boer war, when Jews fought on both sides. Jewish participation in army service has been in greater numbers, proportionally, than the rest of the white population. Thus in World War I, there were some 3,000 Jewish volunteers representing about 5% of the entire Jewish population of that time. In World War II over 10,000, above 10% of the Jewish population were listed in the records kept by the South African Jewish Board of Deputies of Jews serving in the Union Defense Forces and with other Allied forces. Of these 357 were killed, 327 were wounded or injured, 143 were mentioned in dispatches, and 94 received various awards for distinguished service.> (col. 202)

<In the 1948 War of Liberation,

[[Herzl Israel wants to drive all Arabs away as the natives in the "USA" have been driven away, see Herzl "The Jewish State". So this is not a war of "liberation" but a start for an annihilation of the Arabs]]

men and women who had served in the South African forces during World War II went to the defense of the Jewish state. A few thousand volunteered, but only 800 were sent and of these approximately one quarter remained permanently in the country. A stream of volunteers again left for Israel in the 1956 Sinai crisis and at the time of the Six-Day War, in June 1967.> (col. 199)
