A lot, if not the vast majority, of the South Africans moving to Israel are Jews, who had not necessarily previously been Israeli nor perhaps even been to Israel, most South African Jews descended from immigrants during the British colonial period, and as many are aware this was the basis for strong diplomatic links to between South Africa and Israel, obviously underlined by a possibly affinity due to their comparable apartheid projects.

Tbh, despite the impression of this sub which is that of its mostly white internet yanks who haven't been outside the US, most of these white south africans - again, mainly jews - are pretty much the same level of racist and liberal as your average British or USAmerican white lib. The Afrikaners who are marrying Jews and converting and then going to Israel are likely the more liberal ones. An proper rabid old school nationalist Afrikaner would not be marrying a Jew, let alone converting, given that their project was founded by people who sympathized with the European fascist projects (also partly motivated by hatred of the anglos). White Jewish South Africans, like British South Africans, were/are more liberal than their Afrikaner coutnerparts on average.

But yh Afrikaners not seeing the level of fucked-up of recreating their ancestors misdeeds is pretty revolting.
