Description
Summary:In 1912, black leaders started the African National Congress (ANC) - then called the Native National Congress - and began by pleading with the white rulers to grant them equal rights. [...] even then, it decided not to target white civilians - both out of a belief in Gandhian non-violence and for strategic reasons, so that whites need not fear the coming of black majority rule. [...] there are the deep religious differences between Islam to which most Palestinians adhere and Judaism; plus the vast differences in culture in books, music and theatre; plus the entirely opposite experiences and perceptions of society, whether in the rule of law or the aggressive exposure and questioning in the media; plus the levels of economic development and technical knowledge, which are massively lopsided in favor of Israelis.
