The South African Zionist Federation has categorically rejected as torrent and baseless accusations surrounding the group of Palestinians initially denied entry at Johannesburgs OR Tambo International Airport on Thursday.
The Federation says politicians and the media repeated the inflammatory claim that Israel deliberately withheld passport stamps to sabotage asylum seekers.
The Federation calls it a toxic narrative that did not appear spontaneously but was repeated by the Gift of the Givers Imtiaz Sooliman.
