I’m not denying the crimes of Apartheid, but the truth must be told. Mandela is not the Saint the liberal media claims he is. As one journalist wrote:
Nelson Mandela may be a symbol of goodness for many as an ardent advocate for non-violence protest, but for Jews and Israel, he has been an enabler of anti-Semitism.
In 1990, Mandela stated Israel as a “terrorist state” and declared that “we do not regard the PLO as a terrorist organization”.
In the same event, Mandela said ”If one has to refer to any parties as a terrorist state, one might refer to the Israeli government because they are the people who are slaughtering defenseless and innocent Arabs in the occupied territories”.
Mandela and his ambassador to U.N. called Zionism an “ally of apartheid” and “an accomplice in the perpetuation of the crimes of Pretoria against the South African people”.
During a trip to Libya , Mandela declared that “we consider ourselves to be comrades in arms to the Palestinian Arabs in their struggle for the liberation of Palestine . There is not a single citizen in South Africa who is not ready to stand by his Palestinian brothers in their legitimate fight against the Zionist racists”.
In September 1990, addressing to the Reform Congregation of Johannesburg, Mandela said: “If Zionism means the right of the Jewish people to seize territory and deny the Palestinian people the right to self-determination, we condemn it”.
In 1999 Mandela supported the Palestinian use of violence. With Arafat seated next to him in Gaza , Mandela declared: “All men and women with vision choose peace rather than confrontation, except in cases where we cannot proceed, where we cannot move forward. Then if the only alternative is violence, we will use violence”.
