I am aware of their Calvinist mentality of chosenitism, but had no idea that Herzog was a Jew.

This could well explain the later involvment of South African Jews in anti-Apartheid movements, as in the case of the famous Jewish exile from Lithuania named Slovo.
The chosenitism wrecked them, now they have to devise some new plan to secure their ethnic survival.
