#acn

you know what, I like Mandela and try and learn from South Africa (all my friend definatly want to steal the idea of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to be used here), so you get an answer. I will refer to the ANC in my answer (specifically uMkhonto we Sizwe), which I believe is what you are asking about.

I have read parts of the findings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and with accordance of their findings, it's a yes. The ANC did try to uphold as much as they could of the Geneva convention which was more that the other factions did and is admirable. but I can still condemn many of the attacks targeted specifically to harm civilians and the use of torture. because you know, those are bad things.

you see, this is called having a complex opinion. I believe you can learn to hold one.

I believe you are manifesting Mandela and the ANC in order to get a gutcha moment, but I am sorry to disappoint. the first problem is that the ANC never put on their resume to eradicate white people, nor planned a massacre of civilians, all things that Hamas did (replace white with Jews). Another point is that the ANC did really care about the people it claimed to represent, while the leaders of Hamas give zero shits. They have been stealing humanitarian aid since 2007 at least.

stop insulting the ANC by using them to justify Hamas.

And regarding Mandela himself, the man had better understanding of the complexity of the situation than you. so, here you go, a wonderful piece from 1999
