==Misquoting Mandela==
[[Nelson Mandela]] was critical of so-called "occupation, but fully endorsed Israel's Right to exist. He thought the Arabs states would need to reconcile fully with Israel in the context of a peace agreement.<ref>Ilene Prusher, "Mandela Was Critical of Occupation, but Fully Endorsed Israel's Right to Exist." Haaretz, Dec. 9, 2013.<blockquote>
Mandela’s most notable quotes on the conflict remind us why Netanyahu may have decided it wasn’t worth the trip... and thought the Arabs states would need to reconcile fully with Israel in the context of a peace agreement.
<i>“To the many people who have questioned why I came, I say: Israel worked very closely with the apartheid regime. I say: I’ve made peace with many men who slaughtered our people like animals. Israel cooperated with the apartheid regime, but it did not participate in any atrocities…My view is that talk of peace remains hollow if Israel continues to occupy Arab lands.”</i> - to reporters during a visit to Israel in 1999, following a meeting with Israeli Foreign Minister David Levy.
<i>“I cannot conceive of Israel withdrawing if Arab states do not recognize Israel within secure borders.”</i> – Israel visit in 1999
“<i>I have found Jews to be more broad-minded than most whites on issues of race and politics, perhaps because they themselves have historically been victims of prejudice.” </i>- from his 1994 autobiography, “Long Walk to Freedom”</blockquote></ref>

Re: Mandela, Tutu used ‘apartheid,’ Letter April 20
Contrary to Kamal Reilly’s claim, Nelson Mandela never used the word “apartheid” to describe the Palestinian situation.
In The Case against Israel’s Enemies, U.S. civil rights litigator Alan Dershowitz explained the source of this false attribution that is regularly circulated by anti-Israel activists to falsely tar the Jewish state, the paragon of humanness, as being racist.
Just as this quote was invented out of thin air, so too is the fabricated nonsensical slur that Israel practices apartheid.
