Sanitizing Mandela

The Zionists were further disturbed when President Mandela voiced his support for the Palestine Liberation Organization. According to the Jewish Telegraph Agency’s Suzanne Belling, Mandela, a longtime supporter of the PLO, said in a speech to reporters in 1999: “Israel should withdraw from all the areas which it won from the Arabs in 1967, and in particular Israel should withdraw completely from the Golan Heights, from south Lebanon and from the West Bank.” Reflecting Mandela’s sentiments, Archbishop Desmond Tutu (also labeled an anti-Semite by Zionist Jews) has compared the Israelis’ occupation of the West Bank to apartheid in South Africa, oppression both men knew only too well.

In an article published in the Jewish Daily Forward, called “The 2 Sides of Nelson Mandela, Iconic Figure Not Always Perfect Leader—Especially for Jews,” Rabbi Dana Evan Kaplan wrote: “When Mandela gave up his position as president of the African National Congress to Thabo Mbeki — the first step to retiring from politics two years hence in 1999 — he almost immediately gave a fiery, five hour speech on December 16, 1997, in Mafikeng that was perceived by many as being uncharacteristically radical, overtly hostile in tone and menacing in imagery. Many Jews in particular, fearful because of understandable historical reasons, found his rhetoric completely inexplicable, even frightening.”

Further, those who sought to sanitize Mandela’s radical image were dismayed by the South African President’s strong support for one of America’s and the West’s most feared adversaries: Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Mandela urged for an end to the unreasonable and despotic sanctions the UN, at the prompting of the US, had imposed on Libya, one of the African Continent’s strongest nations. He said: “It is our duty to give support to the brother leader….especially in regards to the sanctions which are not hitting just him; they are hitting the ordinary masses of the people…our African brothers and sisters.”

The strong and uncompromising positions taken by Mr. Mandela belie the corporate image the enemies of Mandela have sought to impose on the masses of the people in Africa and the world.

In whitewashing the image of Mr. Mandela, the corporate media’s plan is to do to Mandela what was done to Dr. Martin Luther King, namely, to make him a one-dimensional peacemaker who had no other agenda than to appease his enemies.
