POPSNelson Rolihlahla Mandela Turns 90 Today Nelson Mandela spent 27 years as a political prisoner in South Africa before becoming the country's first black president. Mandela was a leading member of the African National Congress (ANC), which opposed South Africa's white minority government and its policy of racial separation, known as apartheid. The government outlawed the ANC in 1960. Mandela was captured and jailed in 1962, and in 1964 he was convicted of treason and sentenced to life in prison. Instead of disappearing from view, Mandela became a prison-bound martyr and worldwide symbol of resistance to racism. South African President F.W. de Klerk finally lifted the ban on the ANC and released Mandela in 1990. Mandela used his stature to help dismantle apartheid and form a new multi-racial democracy, and he and de Klerk shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. Mandela was elected the country's president in 1994. He served until 1999, when he was succeeded by his deputy Thabo Mbeki.

POPS'Worse than apartheid' Nablus is closed off by six checkpoints. Until 2005, one of them was open. "The checkpoints are supposedly for security purposes, but anyone who wants to perpetrate an attack can pay NIS 10 for a taxi and travel by bypass roads, or walk through the hills. The real purpose is to make life hard for the inhabitants. The civilian population suffers," says Said Abu Hijla, a lecturer at Al-Najah University in the city. In the bus I get acquainted with my two neighbours: Andrew Feinstein, a son of Holocaust survivors who is married to a Muslim woman from Bangladesh and served six years as an MP for the ANC ; and Nathan Gefen, who has a male Muslim partner and was a member of the right-wing Betar movement in his youth. Gefen is active on the Committee against AIDS in his AIDS-ravaged country.

POPSOccupied Palestine: Worse than South Africa under Apartheid If the people who lived under and struggled free of apartheid say "This is worse", the world needs to listen up and take note. South Africa was made a pariah state by the WHOLE WORLD because of Apartheid. And what Israel is doing, according to those who lived it, is WORSE than what PW Botha et al did.

POPS"Manifiestos" lingüístics i poder Ferran Saéz dóna el context ideològic i polític correcte al manifest espanyol: canvis en les correlacions de poder(polític, però també ideològic i simbòlic) provoquen reaccions. Ho exemplifica des de començaments del segle XX. I apunta que la conclusió que s'extrau del "manifiesto" és segregacionista i, en el darrer esglaó, d'apartheid previ a l'extermini lingüístic

POPSWhen Journalist LIE, Innocence Dies! Rarely since the WW2 has a people been so vilified as the Palestinians. Rarely has a people been so frequently excused and placated as the Israelis. Israeli embassies are now buttonholing editors around the world, saying that it's not fair to call Israel's PM "hard-line". And the reporters are falling into line. ... R Fisk I think he should know.

POPSShalit's Evil Family Here is another example of the breadth of selfishness and evil of the Israeli society. Shalit's family wants EACH & EVERY Palestinians man, woman & child - including the infants and the sick - to suffer because his little rotten son is still being held by Hamas. His son was a soldier, actively participating in the theft of land, enforcing apartheid, breaking international law, mass-murder, humiliation, kidnap, torture, injuries (amputations, mutilations, disfigurement) on a scale that would make one's head spin and this rotten an immoral family is pissed that the Gaza blockade has been slightly lifted. There you have it. In other words any and every crime against humanity against ALL Palestinians should continue. Wow. Yes, this level of evil & selfishness really blows my mind, not to mention the minds of any decent person from any culture in humanity. This is the family from which this Shalit guy comes from.

He has visited London many times and has expressed gratitude for the constant vigil that was held outside the South African embassy in the city during the APARTHEID years. One GREAT MAN. What if ... .

POPSThe Soul of Israel Concentration camp, squalor, ghetto, mass-murder, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, pure meaness and cruelty are the hallmarks of this society. No amount of stealing is ever enough. No amount of cruelty overwhelms their conscience. It is a society of blood-sucking vampires.

POPSVeteran Peacemakers O'Malley, Maharaj on Iraq The show has many interesting details on conflict resolution and peace work. Additionally... There is not one Iraqi from any segment of society that O'Malley met that was not resentful of the American occupation. This was fueled by the unequal treatment that Iraqis receive at American checkpoints where low-level American functionaries are waved through but top Iraqi government officials wait for hours to pass.

POPSIsrael: Perpetrator of a Holocaust Yes, these people are sick. Seriously sick. Criminally insane. Yet they REQUIRE pomp and circumstance and myopia among any and all politicians of the entire western world. The state of Israel is the scourge of humanity which will lead the humane race to extinction.

POPSChina to squeeze oil from coal The plant will be the biggest outside of South Africa, which adopted CTL technology due to international embargoes on fuel during the apartheid years. The plant will start operating later this year and is expected to convert 3.5 million tonnes of coal per year into 1 million tonnes of oil products such as diesel for cars. That's the equivalent of about 20,000 barrels a day,

POPSWright Says Possible That Government Created AIDS Asked if he stood behind previous statements about the U.S. government deliberately creating AIDS as a means of genocide against black people, Wright responded, "Have you read Horowitz' book - Emerging Viruses - AIDS and Ebola?" "Have you read Medical Apartheid," continues Wright as he is heckled from the floor. But when Wright starts to list documented examples of how the U.S. government had been complicit in biological warfare operations against innocent people, the reaction was noticeably mute. "Based on the Tuskegee experiment and based on what has happened to Africans in this country, I believe our government is capable of doing anything,"
