The SAJBD has become aware of the publication of a children’s colouring book, titled “From the River to the Sea", by Digniti, and supported by “Social Bandit” and “Penny Appeal South Africa.” It is repugnant that this publication, promoting the obliteration of Jews from our historical and rightful homeland-Israel, can be published, and targeted at young-minds.

We reject attempts to indoctrinate children. While we are saddened by the ongoing conflict, campaigns like this only perpetuate animosity and prolong the cycle of hatred. We urgently call for the immediate cessation of this extremely irresponsible publication.
