On Nelson Mandela's 93rd birthday,do you applaud his truthful comments?

Apartheid is a crime against humanity. Israel has deprived millions of Palestinians of their liberty and property. It has perpetuated a system of gross racial discrimination and inequality. It has systematically incarcerated and tortured thousands of Palestinians, contrary to the rules of international law. It has, in particular, waged a war against a civilian population, in particular children.

'Trick' is a f**king idiot. Where are all these 'white victims' of Mandela? A link would be nice.

Mandela's genius wasn't overthrowing apartheid - that was bound to happen - it was doing so without the massive bloodshed widely predicted. The carnage Trick was hoping for, just didn't happen, so he makes it up.

Mandela's comments on Israel are a little one-sided. For all they have wronged the Palestinian people, they have had to protect their own right to exist too. Their atrocities cannot be excused, but Palestinians have not been blameless in the bloodshed, either.

Ou oom Nelson kan gaan na die hel!

S.A. is turning into another Zimbabwe. If S.A. doesn't guarantee the rights and property of its White African citizens, then it will fail.

Land confiscations in S.A. are becoming almost as bad as they were in the former Rhodesia. Of course, they are all "voluntary" transactions - or at least the gov't maintain.

For years not the blacks have been threatening Whites with nag van die lang messe - night of the long knives. When Mandela dies, they all going to rise up and try to kill the Whites. Many Whites pretend they don't believe this, but amongst themselves they all have plans set in case it does. The whole scenario is known as W.H.A.M.? (What Happens After Mandela?).

We have a S.A. branch of the family. At least most of them have moved onto New Zealand, or have secured secondary citizenships so they have a place to flee when the troubles start.

Remember what it was like in Mozambique and Angola when the Portuguese pulled out? It will be like that.

The Israelis certainly have a lot to answer for.

Of course, in order for them to have sat down and made peace with their Arab neighbors, they would have to have had reasonably thoughtful and sensible people on the other side of the table.

The more devoted followers of Islam are so severely demented by their faith, that they can think only of revenge and destruction, when they should be seeking a peaceful solution to their clash over land with Israel.

That is the origin of the plea that calls for the last politician to be strangled with the guts of the last priest/imam/evangelist/etc.

All religious extremists suffer from the same deficiency - their beliefs have no foundation whatsoever, and interfere with their ability to make thoughtful judgments. The more religious you are, the less good sense you are able to display.

An ex terrorist who encouraged his countrymen to rise and murder the whites, I don't think so !

[kendon19]

Nelson Mandela was never a terrorist, and the fact that a great man who believe in equality for everyone is associated with terrorism is disgraceful. Having endure the brutality of apartheid for most of his life on becoming president he did not seek revenge he sort to unite his countrymen both blacks and white and I am appalled that that anyone should call such a man a terrorist.

The link below have 10 facts not fiction about Nelson Mandela and it is worthwhile reading, maybe the individuals that is calling him a terrorist will think twice about such ridiculous remarks.

Not me.!!

Mandela's legacy has made 'no difference' to the black masses in SA - they are still being kept under deprived conditions and they gained nothing from his (so-called) achievements.

This man was responsible for his followers who 'tied car tyres' around other black peoples necks who wanted no part of Mandela's policies/rebellion etc and set fire to them....burning those black peoples to death. That all gets 'conveniently forgotten' now 'he' is seen as a world statesman who financially feathered his own nest + those of his cronies for the years he was in power.

SA has massive continuing unemployment - a huge failure in financial stability (except for the corruptionists) + out of control crime at all levels....so whats to celebrate ?.

If your talking about....crimes against humanity/international law ? - check out the US record - that equals any tyrannical dictatorship in history....and it continues to this very day.

One things for sure - terrorism works - one day terrorists - the next day respected politicians (Mandela/IRA leaders + others) who are all self servers for there own personal gain....yup - thats democracy alright.!!

There isn't a country in the world that operates any differently - 'all' have no interest in their peoples/public once elected/rebellions won etc.
