◾The New York town hall meeting took place in 1990, long before the world had embraced Nelson Mandela as a “giant of justice“. However, Mandela stood firm and resolute on his principles. One of the first questions to Nelson Mandela is on his relationship with, and support for, the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat: - One of the mistakes which some political analysts make is to think that their enemies should be our enemies! We have our own national struggle... our attitude to any country, is determined by the attitude of that country to our struggle... Yasser Arafat, Colonel Gaddafi, Fidel Castro, support our struggle to the heart, there is no hesitation in hailing their commitment to human rights in South Africa, our attitude is based on the fact that they fully support the anti apartheid struggle not only in rhetoric, they are placing resources at our disposal, for us to win this fight. ◾Follow: Source: Fearless John - @European_dissident
