Palestinian refugees settle down in SA

The South African Zionist Federation has in a statement rejected what it calls the torrent of baseless accusations surrounding the group of Palestinians initially denied entry at Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport on Thursday.
The Federation says politicians and the media repeated the claim that Israel "deliberately" withheld passport stamps to sabotage asylum seekers.
The federation calls it a toxic narrative that it says did not appear spontaneously, but was lit by Gift of the Givers founder, Imtiaz Sooliman.
In a statement, the federation says Israel abolished physical passport stamps for all foreign visitors more than a decade ago, replacing them with a standard electronic entry or exit slip.
Every traveler receives this slip, without exception.
