See how the French-Algerian war still inspires, if backhandedly, observers and commentators on the Israeli-Palestinian crisis:

Excerpt:

In exchange, America would seriously commit itself to addressing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, using the window created by Arafat's death. The Palestinian leader placed the Palestinian cause on the map, but ultimately betrayed his people. He will not be remembered as the Palestinians' Nelson Mandela.

By contrast, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon could still prove to be Israel's Charles de Gaulle. It is at least partly up to the United States and Europe to see that Sharon - who does not want to enter history as the man responsible for the massacres of Palestinians at Sabra and Chatila in 1982 - be remembered as the man who courageously led his people to peace.

Now, the above scrap is very interesting in that it exposes the way Zionists keep warping and twisting history to fit their noxious propaganda: "[Yasser Arafat] will not be remembered as the Palestinians' Nelson Mandela."

Now, you are a white South African, are you not? Tell me, was Nelson Mandela, upon his release from Robben Island Prison, offered HALF of South Africa to set up a black state/democracy? Was your capital Johannesburg declared to remain the exclusive, eternal capital of whites? Was Nelson Mandela offered a mere symbolic sovereignty over, say, Desmond Tutu's church in Jo'burg???

Truth is, Israelis are no white South Africans, Sharon is no F. W. de Clerk, yet Zionists and Likudniks expected Arafat to play the Nelson Mandela... go figure!!
