Special to The Jewish News
N
atan Sharansky
reminded Nelson
Mandela last week
that Israel was one of the
first nations to condemn
apartheid, and he expressed
the hope that the terrorist
nature of the Palestine Lib-
eration Organization and
Libya would ultimately
become apparent to the
black South African leader.
The two former prisoners
of conscience met privately
for half an hour at
Mandela's hotel after a
series of on-again, off- again
arrangements that the Anti-
Defamation League of B'nai
B'rith negotiated with
Mandela's entourage.
Although Sharansky par-
ticipated in the meeting as a
private person, he served as
the de facto ambassador of
Jews who had been disturb-
ed by Mandela's earlier
praise of PLO leader Yassir
Arafat, Libya's Moammar
Qaddafi and Cuba's Fidel
Castro as comrades in arms.
In a nationally televised
program two weeks ago, at
the beginning of his trium-
phant U.S. tour, Mandela
said the African National
Congress identifies with the
PLO, "because, just like
ourselves, they are fighting
for the right of self- deter-
mination."
Mandela, who is deputy
president of the ANC, left
immediately after the
meeting with the former
refusenik. Sharansky then
conducted an impromptu
news conference, which he
cut short, because, he said,
"Shabbat is starting in 20
minutes, and I don't want to
go by foot for two hours."
Sharansky said that
Mandela had embraced
Arafat, literally and
figuratively, because the
PLO had aided him in
difficult times. He reported
that Mandela did not accept
his argument that the PLO
and the Arab nations are out
to destroy Israel.
"I pointed out that the
Western countries in World
War II were allies of Stalin
and that for a long time they
didn't understand the real
nature of the Soviet
regime," said Sharansky.
In the same vein, he said,
when it becomes clear to
Mandela . that Arafat and
Tom Tugend writes from Los
Angeles.
Qaddafi are men who can
destroy but not create, the
South African leader will
start to change his attitude.
Sharansky also told
Mandela that Jews had
backed the struggle for
human rights over the cen-
turies and that they had not
weakened their support by
settling in Israel.
These differences notwith-
standing, Sharansky said
his meeting with Mandela
and his wife, Winnie, was
"very warm." Mandela said
that he had avidly read
Sharansky's book, Fear No
Evil, while imprisoned.
"Despite different cir-
cumstances, we found that
our experiences as political
prisoners were more or less
the same," Sharansky said.
"We agreed that to survive,
there could be no com-
promise with our basic prin-
ciples and beliefs."
Sharansky said he invited
Mandela to visit Israel. The
black leader said he would
be happy to consider an offi-
cial invitation.
Earlier, during a reception
at City Hall, Rabbi Harvey
Fields met briefly with
Mandela in his capacity as
co-chairman of the Black-
Jewish Clergy Alliance of
Los Angeles.
When Fields told Mandela
that he had just come from a
meeting of the Reform
movement's Central Con-
ference of American Rabbis
in Seattle, which had reaf-
firmed its support for him
and the ANC, Mandela re-
sponded warmly, "Your
support means a great deal,
more than you can possibly
imagine." ❑

Cat Stevens
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Yusef
Islam — pop singer Cat
Stevens, who converted to
Moslem Fundamentalism
some years ago and changed
his name — was denied en-
try to Israel on Monday for
"security reasons" as an
"undesirable alien."
Interior Ministry sources
said Islam was black-listed
because of virulently anti-
Israel and anti-Semitic
statements he made during
a visit here two years ago
and on other occasions
abroad.
He has also spoken out in
favor of the Palestine Lib-
eration Organization.
