The Nelson Mandela story is another instance of Jewish people fighting for someone else's cause and getting hatred in return. In the battle to overcome Apartheid in S. Africa the Jewish people were overwhelmingly in support of the blacks. Often they did this at their peril. If however they expected gratitude or appreciation they were sadly mistaken. Mandela's statements should have been expected. In the American Black's battle to overcome the Jim Crow laws in the South, Jewish people were uniformly in their corner and sought to help. They gave money, support and even their lives. The outcome was that polls show that Blacks are more likely to be anti-Semitic than whites. The dishonest, scurrilous and disgusting diatribes by various "Black Leaders" are well known. I will not go into the numerous instances throughout history where Jews took up the battle for causes they thought were right," and were turned upon by those they helped. It would be wise to consider the lessons of history before leaping to the defense of non- Jewish groups. Helping your own group is a more intelligent course of action. By doing that you will not incur the wrath of people who want to be able to feel a sense of accomplishment in saying they did it without the help of those "smart aleck, rich Jews." (that's how many of them will feel about you) It's in accord with human nature not to feel that you were the recipient of "charity," or that you were so inept that you needed someone else to do for you.
