"One of the most incisive comments I have heard about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was delivered during a UN-sponsored conference in Brussels a few months ago. "It is futile," a Palestinian solidarity activist argued, "to ask me to achieve reconciliation with somebody who is sitting on my head.""
This sounds a lot like something another "terrorist" said back in 1961 before he was locked away for 27 years on Robbins Island.
"There are many people who feel that it is useless and futile for us to continue talking peace and non-violence — against a government whose only reply is savage attacks on an unarmed and defenceless people..." - Nelson Mandela, 1961
