Remember when the world branded Nelson Mandela a terrorist only to now remember him as someone who fought against apartheid?

Now his grandson is amongst one of the many activists that was detained (illegally) by Israel for attempting to give aid to Palestine.

History has a funny way of repeating itself.

No, I remember the world calling him a freedom fighter, but the South African whites -- some of them anyway -- calling him a terrorist.

@ChipmunkErnie that's misleading. The US dictates a lot around the world.

@HijabaDabbaDoo So did the USSR and China back then. Still made no difference to what we thought ourselves.
