Nelson Mandela’s grandson voices his support for Palestine
#PalestineLivesMatter #Israel #palestine #palestinelibre #mandela
Nelson Mandela’s grandson, Zwelivelile Mandela, voiced his support for Palestinians and the leadership of the Palestinian resistance to MEE, saying that just as apartheid South African “is no more”, “the end of apartheid in occupied Palestine is inevitable"
would you want a gaddafi or an arafat or
a castro
to be a future president of south africa
one of the mistakes
which has some political honors make
is to think that their enemies
should be our enemies
oh
that we
can and we will never do
we have our own struggle which we are
conducting
we are grateful to the world
for supporting our struggle but
nevertheless
we are an independent organization
with its own policy and the attitude
of every country towards
our attitude towards any country is
determined by the attitude of that
country to our struggle
yasa arafat
colonel gaddafi
fidel castro support
our struggle to the hilt
there is no reason whatsoever
why we should have any hesitation
about hailing their commitment to human
rights
as they are being demanded in south
africa
our attitude is based solely on the
fact that they fully support the
anti-apartheid struggle
they do not support it only in rhetoric
they are placing resources at our
disposal
for us
to win this fight
that is the position having said that
i think i would be dishonest if i did
not express
profound disappointment with the answer
that mr mandela gave to the previous
question
because it suggests a certain degree of
immorality the
that suggests that the
what these people do in their own
countries what a gaddafi does in libya
what what a castro does in cuba
is totally irrelevant even in terms of
the issue
of of human rights as long as they
support the cause of the anc
i hope that is not what mr mandela meant
and i would hope that he would clarify
that issue further
mr mandel and at the same time
want me to be involved in the internal
affairs
of libya and
cuba i refuse to do that
as far as yasa arafat is concerned
i explained to mr sidney
that we identify
with the plo because
just like ourselves
they are fighting for the right of
self-determination
i went further however to say that the
support
for yasser arafat in his struggle
does not mean that the anc
has ever doubted the right
of israel to exist as a state
legally
we have stood quite openly and firmly
for the right of that state to exist
within secured borders
but of course as i said to mr signal
in geneva and others that we
carefully define what we mean by secure
borders
we do not mean that
israel has the right to retain
the territories they conquered from the
arab world
like the gaza strip the golan heights
and the west bank we don't agree with
that
those territories should be returned to
the arab people
listen
i also explained to mr sigmund and
company
that in our organization
we have jews
in fact mr gaddafi did not allow us to
open
our offices in libya
