    ISRAELNATIONALNEWS.com (http://bit.ly/18umH1g) reports that Meotti uses Mandela’s own words in stating his case, harkening back often to Mandela’s longstanding claim that “those who are the enemies of the Jews” were not necessarily “his enemies.”

    Meotti writes that in 1990, “Mandela likened Israel to a ‘terrorist state’ and declared that ‘we do not regard the PLO as a terrorist organization. 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.”

    Further, “In 1999 Mandela supported the Palestinian Arab 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,'” Meotti writes.

    In closing, Meotti states, “Nelson Mandela might be a symbol of goodness for many, but for Israel’s Jews he has been an enabler of anti-Semitism.”

    Obama said he was the most greatest person on earth. Is Obama Pro-Israel or Pro-Arabs?

    Finally someone other than a regular layman says it as it is. Mandela might have fought apartheid but he definitely was not a friend of Israel. In fact I believe he was an enemy.

    Check wikipedia on Mandela. He founded the violent wing of the ANC (which previously was apparently purely political). It basically acted as a terrorist organization, killing civilians, etc, just like the PLO and IRA. Everyone knew that from regular new reports in the 80s but how quickly we forget.

    but the world is upside down . the truth is a lie and the lies are truths. mandella might bof been an encoragement to his people but he obviously was the enemy of the jews . his support of vterrorists like the PLO shows his true colors.
    so now he can be i the same pot with arafat.
    now we have one less to worry about,

    Anyone who kisses Arafat is no friend of ours. Now those two comrades can be together for eternity..

    True posts are always appreciated.

    I was waiting for somebody to say this well known truth.

    In later years he learnt how to cover up his true feelings.

    Just like the Uber student of pastor Wright- now residing on Pennsylvania Ave in Washington DC
