Statement: The SAZF (Cape Council) condemns the death of the 21 Christian men executed by ISIS

On behalf of the South African Zionist Federation (Cape Council) we would like to offer our deepest condolences for the death of the 21 Christian men all executed by ISIS. The SAZF deeply condemns this unacceptable crime that was committed by these cowardly terrorists.

The world, is facing the increasing threat of Islamist extremism, and it has come a time when we all need to take a stand and confront terrorism head-on. The South African Zionist Federation stands beside the Coptic Christian community and we would like to offer you our full support during these challenging times.

May the victims forever be remembered.
