Original Note:
This is a fake quote. It was revealed as fake in 2007 by Joel Pollack, American political writer, who found it was actually written as a spoof memo by Arjan El Fassed, co-founder of an anti-Zionist Electronic Intifada website. Mandela supported Palestinians & Israeli peace. https://www.thejc.com/news/chris-williamson-posts-fake-mandela-quote-linking-israel-with-apartheid-v88wdesy http://www.mandela.gov.za/mandela_speeches/1997/971204_palestinian.htm
