Nelson Mandela is being celebrated today for his statesmanship and reconciliation. But, whatis not being discussed is his antipathy towards the Jewish state.Israel National News reported:

In 2000, the American Jewish Committee canceled a Washington luncheon scheduledto honor Mandela after he said that 13 Jews tried for “espionage” in Iran werereceiving a “fair trial”.

Mandela laid a wreath on the grave of Ayatollah Khomeini, the father of the Iranianrevolution, warmly greeting his successor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “We are indebtedto the Islamic Revolution”, Mandela proclaimed. It is the same Mandela who claimedthat Communist Cuba had achieved the “systematic eradication of racism”.

regard the PLO as a terrorist organization. If one has to refer to any parties as aterrorist state, one might refer to the Israeli government because they are thepeople who are slaughtering defenseless and innocent Arabs in the occupiedterritories”.

Mandela should have raised Jewish eyebrows when in 1990 he embraced Arafat inLusaka, Zambia, likening the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to the struggle against SouthAfrican apartheid. “If the truth alienates the powerful Jewish community in SouthAfrica, that’s too bad”, said Mandela.

During a trip to Libya, Mandela declared that “we consider ourselves to be comradesin arms to the Palestinian Arabs in their struggle for the liberation of Palestine. Thereis not a single citizen in South Africa who is not ready to stand by his Palestinianbrothers in their legitimate fight against the Zionist racists”.

In September 1990, addressing the Reform congregation of Johannesburg, Mandelasaid: “If Zionism means the right of the Jewish people to seize territory and deny thePalestinian people the right to self-determination, we condemn it”.

In 1999 Mandela supported the Palestinian Arab use of violence. With Arafat seatednext to him in Gaza, Mandela declared: “All men and women with vision choose peacerather than confrontation, except in cases where we cannot proceed, where wecannot move forward. Then if the only alternative is violence, we will use violence”.

A few weeks later, the Palestinian Arabs began the Second Intifada. 2,000 Jewishcivilians have since been killed in suicide attacks and shootings. When the terroristArafat died, Mandela called him “outstanding freedom fighter”.

Maxwell 's Silver Hammer • 4 hours ago Dster78 −"Nelson Mandela was one of the outstanding figures of our time," Prime

Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement last night. "He was the father

of his nation, a man of vision, a fighter for freedom who avoided violence. He

was a humble man who provided a personal example for his nation during the

long years he spent in prison."

Netanyahu continued that Mandela "worked to heal the rifts in South African

society and succeeded, through the power of his character, in preventing racial

hatred. He will be remembered as the father of the new South Africa and a

moral leader of the highest order."

campaign to destroy the impressive gain made in the Cuban Revolution. … Long live

the Cuban Revolution. Long live comrade Fidel Castro.”

Mandela ushered in the world’s first constitution to protect against

discrimination based on sexual orientation.

“Nelson Mandela tore down oppression, united a rainbow nation, and always

walked arm-in-arm with his LGBT brothers and sisters—and with all people—

toward freedom,” Human Rights Campaign president says.

Adjoran • 6 minutes ago −Mandela was the commander of the military wing of the ANC in armed insurrection

when he was arrested. His militia attacked innocent civilian targets like theaters,

restaurants, shops, and office buildings with bombs, grenades, automatic weapons, or

setting them afire. They dealt with rival groups and internal dissenters with assault,

torture, and murder.

For at least the last 15 years of his imprisonment, he could have been released by

publicly foreswearing violence. He consistently refused.

Comparing him to Gandhi or King insults the memory and achievements of those

peaceful advocates of civil disobedience.

It is to his credit that Mandela did not spark a bloodbath in South Africa, but his

government was corrupt and autocratic, subverting the rule of law whenever it suited

their purposes while allowing public safety to deteriorate into near chaos in the streets.

It is appropriate to recognize what he did positively, but to consider him some great

man is just ridiculous. It's like saluting Charles Manson for not starting prison riots.

I'm glad to see some are willing to state the truth, even when it is unpopular and

uncomfortable. Thanks, Mr. Hoff.

Adjoran • 4 minutes ago Adjoran −It might also be noted that among the weaponry confiscated when his

headquarters was raided upon his arrest was 144 tons of ammonium nitrate.

McVeigh only needed one ton for the Murrah Building.

But maybe Mandela was planting a garden and needed fertilizer, eh?
