Brief excerpt from that article:

" 'The violent, racist, state of Israel was Apartheid South Africa's best friend.
" 'And Mayor Hieftje, tonight, became Apartheid Israel's best friend.
" 'Mayor Hieftje is now using assault and battery to intimidate peaceful speakers, speakers who only ask for divestment from Israel. Ordering police assaults, against peaceful Palestine human rights speakers, is the act of a violent, racist thug, not a protector of freedom of speech....' "
