  8. 🎥: “Justice is not measured by where we stand after history has issued its verdict. It is measured by where we stand when the verdict is still being rendered.”

    from #MiddleEastEye on Telegram

    #NewYorkCity Mayor #ZohranMamdani has compared #NelsonMandela’s struggle against apartheid in #SouthAfrica to the #Palestinian struggle for freedom and self-determination. #Mamdani made the remarks at the inaugural Nelson Mandela Global Leadership Forum in New York City.

    Mandela was an anti-#apartheid activist who later became South Africa’s first democratically elected president and is widely regarded as one of the most significant figures in the global fight against racial oppression and injustice.

    Mamdani drew parallels between Mandela’s struggle and the situation facing Palestinians today, citing kidnapped Gaza doctor Dr. #HussamAbuSafiya, who is still detained by Israeli forces, as an example.

    Ultimatum an Migranten: #Südafrika hält den Atem an

  12. Vers la liberté

    J’ai toujours su qu’au plus profond du cœur de l’homme résidaient la miséricorde et la générosité. Personne ne naît haïssant une autre personne à cause de la couleur de sa peau, ou de son passé, ou de sa religion.

    Les gens doivent apprendre à haïr, et s’ils peuvent apprendre à haïr, on peut leur enseigner aussi à aimer, car l’amour naît plus naturellement dans le cœur de l’homme que son contraire.

    Même aux pires moments de la prison, quand mes camarades et moi étions à bout, j’ai toujours aperçu une lueur d’humanité chez un des gardiens, pendant une seconde peut-être, mais cela suffisait à me rassurer et à me permettre de continuer.

    La bonté de l’homme est une flamme qu’on peut cacher, mais qu’on ne peut jamais éteindre. Un homme qui prive un autre homme de sa liberté est prisonnier de la haine, il est enfermé derrière les barreaux des préjugés et de l’étroitesse d’esprit. Je ne suis pas vraiment libre si je prive quelqu’un d’autre de sa liberté, tout comme je ne suis pas libre si l’on me prive de ma liberté.

    L’opprimé et l’oppresseur sont tous deux dépossédés de leur humanité. Quand j’ai franchi les portes de la prison, telle était ma mission : libérer à la fois l’opprimé et l’oppresseur. Certains disent que ce but est atteint. Mais je sais que ce n’est pas le cas. La vérité, c’est que nous ne sommes pas encore libres ; nous avons seulement atteint la liberté d’être libres, le droit de ne pas être opprimés.

    Nous n’avons pas encore fait le dernier pas de notre voyage, nous n’avons fait que le premier sur une route plus longue et difficile. Car être libre ce n’est pas seulement se débarrasser de ses chaînes ; c’est vivre d’une façon qui respecte et renforce la liberté des autres. La véritable épreuve pour notre attachement à la liberté vient de commencer.

    Nelson Mandela (1918-2013) a passé 27 ans en prison pour s’être opposé au régime de l’apartheid en Afrique du Sud. Il reçoit le Prix Nobel de la paix en 1993 et devient président du pays en 2014.

  14. June 12, 1964 - Nelson Mandela, a 46-year-old lawyer and a leader of the opposition to South Africa’s racially separatist apartheid system, was convicted of sabotage in the Rivonia Trial and sentenced to life imprisonment.

    From Mandela’s statement to the court prior to sentencing: “I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.”

  18. So, the departure of Donald Pols from Milieudefensie to Tata Steel is turning out to be a 'dodged a bullet' kind of situation.

    Pols was fired from Tata after a single day, because he was the leader of the ASF in South-Africa during his student years.

    The ASF was a far-right organization fighting for apartheid. Pols was literally trying to prevent Melson Mandela from speaking in public.

    That's pretty close to stereotypically evil. Fuck that dude.

  20. May 10, 1994 - Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as South Africa’s first black president. He had won the country’s first election in which all South Africans could vote, regardless of race. Mandela had spent nearly three decades imprisoned for his part in the struggle to attain political and civil rights for black and colored citizens. This ended more than three centuries of white rule, beginning with the Dutch in 1652.

  23. Ritengono normale che, in nome della sicurezza, a Israele sia permesso tutto.
    Entrambi venerano l’esercito e esultano per le guerre.
    Se è così, cosa può cambiare?

    Sì, un tempo c’erano un #FrederikWillemdeKlerk e un #NelsonMandela in #Sudafrica.
    Non c’è un #Mandela palestinese (forse con l’eccezione di #Barghouti, attualmente in carcere).

    Bennett ed Eisenkot non saranno mai i #deKlerk israeliani. Sono già troppo compromessi.⟧

    Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.
