“If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America. They don’t care for human beings.”
-Nelson Mandela

“The UN took a strong stand against apartheid; and over the years, an international consensus was built, which helped to bring an end to this iniquitous system. But we know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.”
-Nelson Mandela
