New Flotilla Announced with Explicit Objective Against Israel
An announcement regarding a new flotilla has been made by Mandla Mandela, grandson of former South African president Nelson Mandela. Activists involved have stated their objective as the overthrow of the State of Israel.
Mandla Mandela, who has previously participated in a flotilla and was detained by Israel, indicated that the new initiative aims to isolate Israel. He referred to Israel as an 'apartheid state'.
The collective goal is to 'cause it to collapse and bring it to its knees.'
He drew a comparison to events in South Africa when describing the ultimate aim of the movement.
