Letter: Will US elect Jewish leader?
By Nelson Wawa Mpinga, Algoa Park, Port Elizabeth - 14 April 2016
THE political drama in the US, South Africa and Britain is enriched by the vocal, influential and religious community of immigrants. In Britain two men born Jews – Benjamin Disraeli and Ed Miliband – entered the democratic contest to be prime minister, except that the Labour Party of Miliband was shunned by voters last year.
In the US the protestant majority has never elected a Jewish president. The US Democratic Party national convention has a responsibility of making a choice between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, a Jewish leftist.
