"Cutting water, cutting electricity, cutting food to a mass of civilian people is against international law," said EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell in Muscat.
By some people, sure. But Mandela and the ANC were designated terrorists by Reagan’s government in 1986, and this wasn’t changed until 2008. It’s definitely untrue that he wasn’t called a terrorist in the west.Source.
Unofficial support does not matter as much as official position recognised internationally. USA also supported Nazi Germany until USSR marched in and whooped Hitler’s twink ass.
This is what I read. Did you, in good faith, forget to mention that its true, non-masked name, is “Treaty of Non-Aggression between Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics”? A ceasefire pact is not a “we are friends” pact, but a pact to not bomb the fuck out of each other. Why did Soviets few years later hold parts of Berlin and Germany to purge Nazis, as Allied Forces worked under USSR to defeat Hitler? Why did Allied Forces not agree to align with USSR and defeat Nazi Germany, until Hitler’s regime internally failed with munitions and USSR was well on the way to defeat Hitler?
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…
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.
I was alive when Nelson Mandela was active, and he wasn’t called a terrorist in the west.
He was revered as a hero by many in the West, just like Navalny is revered today.

By Reagan and the establishment, yes.
But many western people and institutions were definitely promoting and supporting him from the very beginning.

Lol fucking what? The USSR militarily supported the Nazis until they were attacked
Thanks for lying out of your teeth. You are practicing Hitler’s Big Lie principles remarkably well.
Yes, the USSR and Nazi Germany were definitely working together, not sure what you’re talking about here.

Do you know that the real “we are friends” energy radiates not out of a ceasefire pact between USSR and Nazi Germany, but between USA and Nazi Germany, considering USA was the basis for all of Hitler’s racial segregation policies?

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

But Hamas does very textbook terrorist things, seems to me like they are actually terrorists.
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 ANC? Who literally had a terrorist wing run by Mandela?
As opposed to the resistants (including many Jews) during WW2 who were literally called terrorists by Nazis ?
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.
