How Madiba Brought Change to South Africa, Same for Israel & Palestine

Nelson Mandela

(SEOULE, South Korea) - Nelson Mandela who had the strength and wisdom to see one people and not two people i.e wanted equality for both blacks and whites, post release from Jail used non violent ways to bring equality and fairness (pre jail, he decided to use violence and landed up in jail and the movement was slowed down, post release, when deciding the way forward was going to be through non violence, the movement's momentum grew fast and was successful).

Nelson Mandela was determined to do what is right, despite the wrongs that were done to him, he didn't want go from inequality to black people to inequality to white people, he wanted what is right, fair and equitable for everybody, he wanted equality for everybody in South Africa, despite what the whites had done to the blacks, he understood "TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT".

One has to be prepared to suffer wrongfully & sacrifice our lives to even see our enemies saved or bring equality and fairness, we are not to sacrifice our lives to kill our enemies.

In order to bring peace in this world you must be prepared to loose everything to do what is right, otherwise fear will dominate you, one must be unbiased and view the situation in an objective manner and do what is right regardless of the actions the people who you are fighting with are taking. Madiba has even said in one of his interviews, that during the struggle, he was not afraid to die and although he was experiencing oppression from the whites, but in his heart he was loving them.

White South Africa in 1994 had to embrace the Black South Africa, despite their fears that an "Inferior people" would run the country into the ground,(whites had a racist mindset and thought the blacks would run the country into the ground), White South Africa was pushed into doing the right thing with Sanctions as well as with the leadership of Mandela, and Democracy came into been in 1994, and 16 plus years later South Africa is a better place for it and has not been run into the ground,(we still have problems of poverty etc, but we've taken a step in the right direction).

In this day and age where the love of each other has grown so cold, and the family unit having become increasingly broken down, this message of loving each other and resolving our differences with non-violent, unbiased diplomacy needs to be heard again, and so desperately.

If the world would grasp these principles, Israel would let go of its fear/prejudices of been governed by Arabs and Arabs would let go of their prejudices of Jews and unite as one people, as Whites were afraid of been governed by blacks in South Africa, but when they let go and united, our nation took a giant leap forward and hosted a successful World cup, that otherwise would never have happened. Its only when you let go of all your fears and be prepared to loose all to do what's right do you experience freedom and embrace the unknown with God by your side.(Shouldn't people who once lived in a country be allowed to come home before someone who's never lived there before(in line with economic growth) re 1948 Palestinians exiles or is that too much to let go of to do what's right.

Here, getting to work in the morning re transportation, sharing water a one state solution for Israel/Palestine is by far the best solution, also for security reasons, its the best option, that will see defence budgets halved that will allow for greater subsidies for education and skills development at tertiary level, where is at the moment there are many youth not getting skilled post school because of financial burdens.
