President Barack Obama has compared him to George Washington. MSNBC’s Chris Matthews heralded him as “perhaps the world’s greatest hero.” The Las Vegas Guardian Express dispensed with the “perhaps,” declaring in headline: “Nelson Mandela World’s Greatest Hero.” Others have christened him “the greatest man of the 20th century.” Many revere him as “the savior” of South Africa. School children worldwide read books, write essays and sing songs about him, and watch movies extolling his virtues and heroic accomplishments.
As we write, the 94-year-old Mandela has been hovering near death for days, the subject of hourly news updates and the beneficiary of tearful prayer vigils worldwide. With the announcement of his death, the eulogies will soon be sounding and in his honor innumerable streets, highways, schools, stadiums, parks, and public buildings will be renamed.

Professor Pappé will debate Mojmir Kallus who is a president of the International Christian Embassy of Jerusalem in Prague, known as ICEJ. A christian Zionist Kallus and a Jewish anti-Zionist Pappé will discuss moral and historical issues connected to the creation and existance of the Israeli state. This will also include a question of democracy in the Jewish state, which Ilan Pappe sees as an oxymoron. "You cannot have an apartheid, decades of a military occupation, discriminatory laws, policy of ongoing ethnic cleansing and call yourself a democracy," says the Izraeli historian. Our guests will examine the past and possible future.
