Westerner's ideas about Nelson Mandela are so warped. They view him as a MLK Jr. kind of figure (and even your average gringo doesn't understand MLK very well), who was just a nice, peace-loving guy who peacefully peace'd his way to ending apartheid.
Y'all, the anti-Apartheid resistance was full of violence! Look up 'necklacing' sometime. That shit isn't pretty, and we can talk about whether it was "effective" or what that means. But it was still a part of that struggle, and that's just how it is. You have to take the entire thing, as it is, and not cherry pick the parts that sound cuddly and nice.
Palestine is no different. Western libs, please be normal and introspective challenge, Status: impossible.
