The Rosebank Killarney Gazette reported that over 1000 members of the Jewish community signed a petition calling for the removal of King David Victory Park deputy head boy, Joshua Broomberg.
The online petition addressed to the headmaster of the school, Mr Gavin Budd, calls for the school and the South African Jewish Board of Education (SAJBE) to take immediate disciplinary action against the pupil, following an alleged incident of his public support for Palestine.
The petition reads, “Broomberg was seen on a public forum, namely Facebook, draped in a Palestinian scarf (Keffiyeh) as well as a Palestinian Flag in the form of a badge, with the caption reading ‘Team South Africa wearing Palestinian badges and Keffiyehs to show our opposition to the human rights violations carried out against the people of Palestine’.”
