About the close Israeli alliance with Apartheid South Africa:

* "The alliance between Israel and South Africa is more intimate and more extensive than anything similar in Israel’s history...."

—Quote from Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi’s book “The Israeli Connection: Who Israel Arms and Why” (1987)


Also:


"...in 1975, U.S. secretary of state Henry Kissinger asked Israel to help with the failing South African invasion of Angola. Israel responded by sending military advisers and electronic equipment to the front.” [referencing the 'Economist', article entitled 'The Israeli Connection', November 5, 1977].

—Quote, again, from Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi’s book “The Israeli Connection: Who Israel Arms and Why” (1987)
