Nelson Mandela: What the South African icon said about Palestine
Today marks 30 years since Nelson Mandela was released from prison.
The anti-Apartheid leader, who is considered a global symbol of the struggle for justice, was a strong supporter of Palestinian independence.
Here are some of his most memorable statements on the Palestinian cause.

Nelson Mandela & Yasser Arafat were and remain great transformational leaders who cared for their people and for world peace. Thanks for your contributions to humanity. Continue impacting our lives even when you're in the heavens with angels.
We need to keep sharing these!
It's not the Jews escalated issue but Americans and Europe..that's why they don't accept Mandela until now. He experienced similar oppression in SA and knows the pain of civilians by the apartheid regime..
We miss a leader like Mr. Nelson Mandela and Mr. Yasser Arafat. Tough and big hearted. Love both of You.

Mr Fidel Castro was more vocal. Mr Mandela is more of a peace maker. But Israelis are so sturdy. They do not believe in peace of any sort. They have violated 30 human rights treaties so far

Today Libya has expelled diplomats of USA, UK,France,Germany,Italy because they are supporting Israel. Indeed,Africa has played a great role in freedom for Palestine Praying for Palestinians from Pakistan
My best freand Nelson Mandela ❤
It would be greatly appreciated if someone from ME speaks to the indigenous people of South Africa who are still under occupation and treated like 3rd class citizens, just like Palestinians are being wiped out, so are the indigenous people, they have no rights to their land culture language mineral and marine resources. The indigenous people are being slowly wiped of the face of this earth through drugs and gangsterism. (Tau Tama !khams ge. The struggle continues)
Now, we need a Nelson Mandela for our palastine.
Icon of Freedom from oppression... Great N Mandela... RIP,,, Y Arafat his comrade RIP
Free Palestine 🇸🇩Aluta Continua (Struggle Continues) Amandla!✊🔥🇿🇦
Wooow
the Yasser Arafat black and white keffiyeh, becomes a symbol for bravery in battlefield, resistance and freedom. even in Hollywood movies, like G.I Joe, Red Dawn. the actors wearing it, and you can feel the presence of the palestinians there.

Who has ever stood with African freedom, or any blacks reparations? How come the genocide in Congo is never shown on tv or anybody saying to stop it?
Long live Yasser Arafat.

Mandela didn’t fight from jail, but was made a martyr from Jail because we thought Apartheid would kill him, it unfortunately didn’t and we had to endure our miscalculation

You miscalculated that oppressed people would continue to fight for their freedom? You thought dictatorship and oppression would triumph? Poor fellow. Your ignorance was your undoing. Should we pity you? Or be grateful that you had so little faith in humanity. Oh well, back to the drawing board for you. Mandela was a hero, in a very real way. Helped to liberate a nation. What have you done? Just asking...take as much time as you like to answer.

Sorry colonizer, us the people you tried to colonized would never surrenders.
We will never be Free until the Palestinians are free.
Some say the "world." We see how the world is operating. What do I miss?! After Mandela, there is no moral sense in leaders all over Africa,( for that matter,all over the world.) Have all of them lost it... To think logically, - I mean.
Free Palestine
wish Nelson mandela was here today,
Palestine will be free
For freedom terrorism is not the solution. USA Russia UK France and Europe not doing its duty towards Palestinian people and Palestine you Arab world oycott them completely with unity,and see what happens, no need to shed innocent people's blood, matter solved very fast. Will do it? If you are really interested in doing so, do it without delay. From Tamil Nadu INDIA.

Oh common, give it a rest. The Hamas works according to the motto „live and let die“. This is not the legacy of Arafat. He made oeace with Israel. But the Hamas was against this peace from the very first day They prefer terrorism. You can‘t make peace with terrorists. I am sorry for the Palestenian people because they don‘t have the Leadership they deserve.
"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!", a popular slogan used often in the Palestine movements, is used synonymous with Destroy Israel and painting the sea red with the blood of Jews. If Nelson Mandela knowingly supports this belief along with Arafat, then I have lost all my respect for this man.
