BBC News | AFRICA | Tutu condemns Israeli 'apartheid'
South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu has accused Israel of practising apartheid in its policies towards the Palestinians.He demonostrates myopia with:
In a speech in the United States, carried in the UK's Guardian newspaper, Archbishop Tutu said he saw "the humiliation of the Palestinians at checkpoints and roadblocks, suffering like us when young white police officers prevented us from moving about".Of course, he neglects to say (or note, or maybe even know) that the biggest difference is that the Israelis are searching for weapons, bombs, etc., and that "civilians" are continually drifting into the cities of Israel and blowing themselves--and anyone nearby--to pieces. Slight difference.
And remember, he's not a racists, despite....
Archbishop Tutu said his criticism of the Israeli Government did not mean he was anti-Semitic.Hey, I'm a member of an insane group. Cool. By liberal terms I can now--literally--get away with murder!
"I am not even anti-white, despite the madness of that group," he said.
Oh, but then he comments on the "Jewish lobby":
The archbishop attacked the political power of Jewish groups in the United States, saying: "People are scared in this country, to say wrong is wrong because the Jewish lobby is powerful - very powerful. Well, so what?So, again we hear that Israel is the modern day rendition of Nazi Germany, and a few more fascist states thrown in for good measure. This is being repeated so often, by so many on the left, that it begins to smell like a vast left-wing conspiracy, does it not?
"The apartheid government was very powerful, but today it no longer exists.
"Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Pinochet, Milosevic, and Idi Amin were all powerful, but in the end they bit the dust," he said.
Does Hillary know?
