A freedom fighter learns the hard way that it is the oppressor who defines the nature of the struggle, and the oppressed is often left no recourse but to use methods that mirror those of the oppressor. At a point, one can only fight fire with fire. —Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom

  "A freedom fighter learns the hard way that it is the oppressor who defines the nature of the struggle, and the oppressed is often left no recourse but to use methods that mirror those of the oppressor. At a point, one can only fight fire with fire." –From Nelson Mandela's book, "Long Walk to Freedom"* *Mandela was unfortunately delusional: “ Mister President, we accept this great honor bestowed upon us today as a symbol of how  South Africa  and the  United States ,  Africa  and the West, the developing and the developed world, are reaching out and joining hands as partners in building a world order that equally benefits all the nation sand people of the world. ” ( Mandela speaking at  Harvard  after receiving an honorary doctorate from the university in 1998).   The state of South Africa today proves that delusion. The bankruptcy, sell out and complicity of the Palestinian Authority is a major factor in exacerbating the plight of the Palestinians.
