PLO: The Palestine Liberation Organisation
(PLO) was created in 1964 with the purpose of
advancing the struggle for Palestinian self
determination. The PLO is recognised as the
"sole legitimate representative of the
Palestinian people" by over 100 countries with
which it holds diplomatic relations. Like South
Africa's (now ruling ANC) the PLO was
considered by the United States and Israel to be
a terrorist organisation until 1991. In 1993
Israel officially recognised the PLO as the
representative of the Palestinian people.
YASSER ARAFAT: Late leader of the
Palestinian people as well as chairman of the
PLO.

ABOUT THE VIDEO
- 1990 Town Hall Meeting with Nelson
Mandela on Palestine, Cuba and other issues
The above video is from a 1990 town hall
meeting, held in New York City and chaired by
Ted Koppel of ABC Networks. The meeting
formed part Nelson Mandela's first visit to the
USA immediately following his release from
prison.
A significant part of the town hall meeting
focused on Nelson Mandela's advocating (on
behalf of the African National Congress and the
larger South African liberation struggle) for
sanctions to be applied against Apartheid South
Africa, his and the ANC's support for the
Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) as
well as his close friendship with Yasser Arafat
(of Palestine) and Fidel Castro (of Cuba).
The town hall meeting took place in 1990, long
before the world had embraced Nelson
Mandela as a "giant of justice". However, even
then, when it may have been unfashionable and
unpopular to support the Palestinians against,
what Mandela termed, Israeli "colonialism",
Mandela stood firm and resolute on his
principles and the policies of the ANC -
Mandela was, after all, conveying the long-
standing positions held by the ANC and the
larger South African liberation movement.
Nelson Mandela supported the Palestinian
struggle when it was unfashionable and
unpopular, he was a true leader. Hamba Kahle
