South Africa who are now in the United States. I knew the girl who brought me break- fast in the morning?' The two men met, so to speak, on the front lines. "I had heard of this Jewish rab- bi who was crazy in a white area," said Mokgoebo. "I had read about him. lbgether on picket lines and at the funer- als of black children killed by white soldiers, this guy came to life for me." That Issacson was a Jew had little bearing on his friendship with Mokgoebo. "For me, Ben was not a Jew," said Mokgoebo. "He was a comrade, a fighter?' "Zack's first reaction to me," said Issacson, "was, 'The police are beating everybody up. What are you — a white man — doing here?'" As the two men got to know each other, their reli- gions' history and morality influenced their friendship and • their tactics. "I have always thought," said Issac- son, "that we Jews stand for the widowed, the orphaned, the poor, the exploited. This is what Jewish prophetic teaching is all about." But not until 1985, said Issacson, did the South Afri- can Board of Jewish Deputies issue a stand against apar- theid. This was 25 years after Issacson had begun his own anti-apartheid work. "And now having issued a statement," said Issacson, "they think they can come to the United States and say they have always been in the struggle. But I have never seen these people in jail. I have never seen them in trou- ble at all?' Issacson dispar- aged those "who seek glory in America over the bodies of those they've ostracized and excommunicated, such as myself and a few others." According to the rabbi, only three of South Africa's 70 rabbis have been active in their country's fight against apartheid. "Over the years," he said, "many Jews have been in- volved in the anti-apartheid struggle, but not those who claim to have been. Those most active have been dis- missed by the organized Jew- ish community as being 'peri- pheral Jews,' not really Jews. Dennis Goldberg spent 23 years in prison with Nelson Mandela, but he's called a Communist/A.N.C. revolu- tionary. There are Jews now in detention in South Africa, but the Jewish establishment doesn't seem to give a damn about them because they don't follow the usual liberal line of such people as Helen Suzman, who is worshipped by organized Jewry around Kenneth R.
