Courageous stance against Israel

Kurtulmus expressed his gratitude to Mandela and Monson for their "courageous stance on the side of justice and humanity against the oppression of Israel." Monson's recent conversion to Islam was reportedly influenced by his solidarity with the Palestinian cause.

Nkosi Zwelivelile Mandela, a South African parliamentarian, continues the legacy of his grandfather, Nelson Mandela, who was renowned for his fight against apartheid and served as South Africa's first black president.
