Oh please.
Nelson Mandella was a prisoner for 27 years, sentenced for sedition and working for the violent overthrow of the white supremacist government. He fought for democracy, which led to the elimination of the Afrikaner apartheid. He never sat down to agree to white supremacy in South Africa. Your arguments are exactly the same as presented when Mandella was imprisoned. It was the world-wide boycotts which led to his freedom, not negotiation, and it will be world wide boycotts which will free the Palestinian people. Or was Netanyahu lying when he said he would never allow a two state solution?


Israel insists on negotiating from a position of defining itself as a Zionist, Jewish supremacist state. If Netanyahu would agree to consider one person, one vote, and eliminate the apartheid, I am sure he could find someone he has locked up for life, as Mandella was. Mandella never agreed to a separate state solution.
