🎥: “Justice is not measured by where we stand after history has issued its verdict. It is measured by where we stand when the verdict is still being rendered.”

#NewYorkCity Mayor #ZohranMamdani has compared #NelsonMandela’s struggle against apartheid in #SouthAfrica to the #Palestinian struggle for freedom and self-determination. #Mamdani made the remarks at the inaugural Nelson Mandela Global Leadership Forum in New York City.

Mandela was an anti-#apartheid activist who later became South Africa’s first democratically elected president and is widely regarded as one of the most significant figures in the global fight against racial oppression and injustice.

Mamdani drew parallels between Mandela’s struggle and the situation facing Palestinians today, citing kidnapped Gaza doctor Dr. #HussamAbuSafiya, who is still detained by Israeli forces, as an example.
