A Jewish activist says the voice of white farmers in South Africa facing a genocide is being ignored ‘because they are white’.

Avi Yemini wants the Australian government to grant refuge to the farmers facing rape and murder at home.

He appeared on Sunday’s Sky News edition of Outsiders to speak about immigration and foreign affair issues including about the plight white farmers are facing in South Africa.

Mr Yemini told the programme: ‘You hear about a pending genocide, a persecution of a minority based on their skin colour. Their voices aren’t being heard because they are white.’ 

He later took to social media to press the issue further calling for them to be welcomed to Australia using #bringthemhere on his post.

Pressure is being ramped up on federal immigration minister Peter Dutton to fast track up to 10,000 people affected.

It has been claimed there were 109 attacks killing 15 white farmers in 2018 at the hands of black opponents in South Africa.

The South African government has now revealed it is looking to transfer farming land back to black citizens.

Mr Yemini recently took to the streets of Melbourne during a pro refugee rally – to offer support to persecuted groups including those from Syria and Rohingya – if they would back a petition to welcome South African farmers in Australia.

But he said he received ‘a no from everyone, from these humanitarians’.

Mr Yemini added: ‘Just so I can expose these hypocrites for what they are, one looked at the kippah, asked if I was Jewish and said ‘forget it’ and I got called a Nazi.

‘On Friday when we came to deliver that petition to Julie Bishop, the politicians hide.’

‘They wave those flags and march in support of Islamic terrorists on our streets and I’m unwilling to stand by.

‘The day you allow Islamists to march on the streets of Melbourne, it’s a dark day for Australia.’
