Thing also is that those people were also hated during thier time and also called terrorists. There’s no good options for a leader sadly.

So were the IRA…

And yet now here we are with Sinn Fein holding elected positions.

At some point there has to be dialogue otherwise you just keep killing one another.

As opposed to the IDF that’s been terrorizing Palestinians constantly?

It’s terrorists in both sides. Unfortunately civilians are the ones caught in the crossfire.

A lot of people seem the think he was only regarded well once released from prison. I certainly didn’t know much about him until then.

Yet Only Fools and Horses was made in 1981, and they lived in Nelson Mandela House. So even in the UK we knew South Africa was on the wrong side of history. And we should know, we wrote most of it…

He literally WAS a terrorist. He ran the ANC’s terrorist wing. People called him a terrorist and it was accurate.
