i saw him in '89 or was it '90 when he had his US freedom tour. it was at the oakland coliseum, sold out crowd. lots of pali flags.
where is the israeli mandela?
The closest they got was Rabin - how pathetic is that? And even he was seen as too much of a peacenik!! (so they shot him)
What a sorry excuse for a country.
If hell freezes over, Israel will have a F. W. DeKlerk, not a Mandela.
Isn't he just HOT!!!

"What a sorry excuse for a country."
At least you are objective and not a racist. Congrats. And you came from where again? Oh right, probably somewhere that falls at the bottom of human rights and freedoms lists. Hypocrisy is cool!
Please don't forget to mention Mandela's terrorist wife, is it Winnie? I think you forgot all about her in your fawning essay.
I think you mean, "Mandela's terrorist ex-wife."
Even Wikipedia has that on there.
Nabeel,
where is the israeli mandela?
Wrong question. I thought Palestinians were well educated? Your statement would imply that it is the Palestinians who are oppressing the Jews of Israel, correct? Since you expect the man who advocates peaceful resistance to arise within their ranks.
I think you meant to word it like so:
where is the Palestinian mandela?
But then you realized that would imply Palestinian leadership for the last 60 years has left much to be desired, so you just haphazardly change the wording without thinking about what you were implying by doing so. Am I right?
How cool. They lock Mandela up for his life expectancy, but he lives on and on, so now he's had twenty-more years of freedom than they expected. Let us wish him at least twenty-years more. And best wishes to his family, that made so many sacrifices because of his sacrifices.
