Well, Mandela was always against the Israeli occupation.
He was very vocal about it.
And he saw it as a liberation struggle, but he was never anti-Israel.
I mean, Mandela was like the Pope.
He was a saint.
He was one of the most deeply moral people of modern history.
And it was the great honor of my working life to volunteer to help him.
I started working for the
the African National Congress of South Africa in the 1980s, actually under the Reagan administration, when they branded Mandela and the ANC as a communist terrorist organization, you know, Mandela was the only saint I've ever met.
He had no anger after 27 years of imprisonment.
He had transcended it.
You know, he was the most remarkable human being.
And,
To show you the difference in the time, so we organized this movement that succeeded in getting Congress to pass sanctions against South Africa.
American companies were prohibited by law from dealing with them.
And that great racist Ronald Reagan vetoed the legislation.
And think about this.
We overrode his veto.
Imagine that happening.
Oh, wow.
