"Israel's apartheid across the occupied Palestinian territories is "far worse" than the apartheid perpetrated by white nationalists for decades in South Africa, Nelson Mandela's grandson, Mandla Mandela, said in remarks on Wednesday. "Many of us that have visited the occupied territories in Palestine have only come back with one conclusion: that the Palestinians are experiencing a far worse form of apartheid than we ever experienced," said Mandela. "These last two years, what you have been witnessing, is a testament to that.""
"He noted the importance of global pressure in ending Israel's siege of Gaza and apartheid regime. "We believe that the global community has to continue supporting the Palestinians, just as they stood side-by-side with us," Mandela said, noting the international campaign to end South Africa's apartheid. "They isolated apartheid South Africa and finally collapsed it. We believe that the time has come for that to be done for the Palestinians," he went on."
Israel's apartheid across the occupied Palestinian territories is characterized as far worse than South Africa's apartheid. Many visitors to the occupied territories conclude Palestinians are experiencing a far worse form of apartheid, with developments over the last two years cited as evidence. Global pressure is emphasized as essential to ending Israel's siege of Gaza and apartheid regime. Organizers under the Global Sumud Flotilla launched a fleet from Spain to sail to Tunisia and join another convoy. The group will then attempt to reach Gaza to break Israel's near-total blockade on humanitarian aid and goods. The convoy of over 50 ships is the largest yet to attempt the voyage.
