Nelson Mandela and Zionism
(JNS.org-Algemeiner) Ben Cohen - There is a widespread misapprehension that Nelson Mandela was an opponent of Zionism and Israel. Mandela's memoirs are full of positive references to Jews and Israel. He recalls that he learned about guerilla warfare from Arthur Goldreich, a South African Jew who fought with the Palmach during Israel's War of Independence. He relates that the only airline willing to fly his friend, Walter Sisulu, to Europe without a passport was Israel's El Al.
