ePalestine Hamas Website Sarkozy called Israeli PM Netanyahu 'liar' 8 November 2011Last updated at 11:03 The comments - embarrassing for President Sarkozy - have only just emerged French President Nicolas Sarkozy called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "liar" in remarks to US President Barack Obama overheard by journalists. "I can't stand him any more, he's a liar," Mr Sarkozy said in French. "You may be sick of him, but me, I have to deal with him every day," Mr Obama replied. The exchange at the G20 summit was quoted by a French website, Arret sur Images, and confirmed by other media. The remarks - during a private conversation - were overheard by a few journalists last week but were not initially reported, the BBC's Christian Fraser in Paris says. Journalists at the bilateral press conference had been handed translation boxes but had been told not to plug in their headphones until the backroom conversation had finished. A correspondent for Le Monde newspaper referred to the conversation without the quotes.

Sheva If Americans Knew - what every American needs to know about Israel/Palestine Mandela Memo on Palestine [Last update: 3 March 2001] MEMO March 28, 2001 To: Thomas L. Friedman (columnist New York Times) From: Nelson Mandela (former President South Africa) Dear Thomas, I know that you and I long for peace in the Middle East, but before you continue to talk about necessary conditions from an Israeli perspective, you need to know what's on my mind. Where to begin? "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. Today the world, black and white, recognise that apartheid has no future. Perhaps it is strange for you to observe the situation in Palestine or more specifically, the structure of political and cultural relationships between Palestinians and Israelis, as an apartheid system. You seem to be surprised to hear that there are still problems of 1948 to be solved, the most important component of which is the right to return of Palestinian refugees. Israel was not thinking of a "state" but of "separation". Apartheid is a crime against humanity.
