Anti-Israel bigots in South Africa placed a severed pig’s head in the kosher section of a Cape Town market to express "solidarity with the Palestinians," according to reports.
The pig’s head was found in the kosher foods section of a Woolworths market and had been placed there by anti-Semitic supporters of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which seeks to wage economic warfare on the Jewish state.
A picture of the food display shows the pig’s head had been crammed into a space with kosher foodstuffs, according to a report published by Middle East expert Tom Gross.
"Jewish leaders in South Africa expressed dismay that the Congress of South African Students, which is a part of the ruling African National Congress, said they helped organize the placement of the pig’s head, claiming they ware doing so ‘in solidarity with the Palestinians,’" Gross reported.
A Woolworths’ spokeswoman called the incident "unacceptable," according to the report.
"Placing a pig’s head in our store is unacceptable and offensive to our employees and customers, including Jewish and Muslim employees and customers," the spokeswoman was quoted as saying. "We will consider our options to prevent such distasteful protests in our stores."
