Re: Mandela, Tutu used ‘apartheid,’ Letter April 20
Contrary to Kamal Reilly’s claim, Nelson Mandela never used the word “apartheid” to describe the Palestinian situation.
In The Case against Israel’s Enemies, U.S. civil rights litigator Alan Dershowitz explained the source of this false attribution that is regularly circulated by anti-Israel activists to falsely tar the Jewish state, the paragon of humanness, as being racist.
Just as this quote was invented out of thin air, so too is the fabricated nonsensical slur that Israel practices apartheid.
