Mandela's legacy within South Africa as it's most iconic statesman seems all but assured. But as a man who stood for peace and reconciliation, his image was very potent in places of conflict around the world. In Palestine, prayers where held in his honor of a man who famously once declared "our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians". Palestinians and many outside commentators have drawn parallels between apartheid and oppressions by the Israeli's of the Palestinian people. But what can Nelson Mandela's legacy tell us about the way forward in Palestine, and what are the specific lessons of the apartheid struggle for the Israel Palestine conflict? With John Rees to discuss his legacy in the Middle East are James Schneider of Editor, Think AfricaPress, Gertrude Kitongo, former Strangest for BBC Johannesburg and currently a student at SOAS, and Fuad Nadi, Director of Radical Middleway. On the phone they are joined by Luwezi Kinshasa, Secretary General of African Socialist International, and on Skype by Dr Gharda Karmi, a Palestinian academic at Exeter University.
