Israel disengaged from Gaza 2 years ago and has no moral or legal obligation to open its borders to an enemy entity regardless of what Dr. Tutu says. If Israel wants to open its doors to those it abandoned when Egypt and Israel signed a peace accord that is Egypt's problem.

and preventing terrorists from entering OUR country is illegal and a "gross violation of human rights". What a "gross" bunch of crooks there are in the UN.

If the billions the world is committed to pay the Palestinians went not only to the Palestinian families to help them with relocating, but also to any Arab nation willing to take them in, to help them absorb the Palestinians, then there is some chance for such proposal gaining traction and for the Arab world to start letting go off their dream of a Judenrein Middle East. A new solution might be conceived of with Israel taking over Gaza and the West Bank for itself and the Palestinians making an exodus from the land and being absorbed by other nations. Such solution would be one that would be bought and paid for from the annual billions of dollars in welfare the world now throws at Palestinians, in favor of Palestinians and those nations prepared to absorb them as citizens.

Tutu should focus on his own countries xenophobic problems where at least 50 foreigners have been killed!!! Help the suffering nation instead of focusing on other issues which are none of your business!!! Help the suffering Zimbabweans!!

funny , how gaza attracts al the bleeding hearts ,the ultra liberal, the jew haters and war mongors of every origin to come and """inspect " this ratt hole called gaza.... the arabs' misery is self inflicted ,self induced, and self exagerated.... but the missles continue to rain on israeli towns and cities.. is this legal?

firing kassams and mortars into israeli civilian centers with the goal to murder, maim and destroy lives and property is against international law and IS ALSO ILLIGAL.

Israel in addition to lobbing rockets at cities because that is what ending the blockade would do: increase the hazards to Israel and Israelis. But then, Bishop Tutu was not happy with the White government regime in South Africa, either. He prefers the Blacks to rule even though they rarely prosecute rape and murder successfully if at all, especially if the crimes are against Whites and children. So, under Bishop Tutu's influence, Johannesburg has become the CHILD RAPE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. Such a distinction. Apartheid or separate nations for Blacks and Whites in South Africa would have been preferable since the Blacks there are as violent as the Palestinians in the Middle East. Hindus an Muslims could not co-exist in India in the 1940's, either. Israel should not commit national suicide to please Bishop Tutu.

You won't find one but I'm sure the Arab League West (UN) will make one up in a hurry. Nor is it a violation of human rights, insofar as war as not seen as a violation of human rights, although it should be.

The siege saves Israeli lives from worse atrocities then kassams and other rockets. It prevents the entry of suicide bombers, Hamas death squads, keeps them from mine laying civilian roads within Israel, and whatever else, their hate filled mind can create. The siege saves the lives of hundreds of thousands of Israelis, Jews and non-Jews, on a minute-by-minute base. And if their protection is illegal, as the Archbishop claims, then the lives been saved by the siege are also illegal, our lives. Is that what you mean Archbishop Desmond Tutu?

Your unprecedented visit will be a lightening mark in history. Only one man can do it, the man who can handle the apartheid. take care! we don't want another Bernadotte, he was assassinated in Israel because he saved thousands of Jews from concentration camps.

when he could not get a visa from "Apartheid Israel", which simply could not handle his boundless love and compassion, he simply entered freely Gaza via the border with Egypt. In other words, contrary to the Lies of the Media Empire, Gaza is NOT under an Israeli closure blockade. Dezzie Toots can clearly go where he pleases and say what he pleases.

by whispering three of four words in Haniye's ear, Tutu now feels that he is well entitled to speak and write volumes about israel's "illegal" actions. Jimmy Carter's clone, this Tutu bishop is.

Before tutu can say anything he must return to south africa.His has nothing but animosity to speak in Israel Bias against jews.Loves arabs that kill everybody,kassam rockets that go swish and he can even talk when somebody pulls a cord hanging from his back.

Open challenge - name a single international law that says that any country is required to open their borders to anybody. Go ahead, because anybody that claims such is a liar. We can do anything we want, that is what international laws say.

I Agree! So where was the bish and his humanitarian team when the violence against foreigners in SA burst into flesh burning abhorent viloence. No! they were too busy sticking their arsestretch heads into the Sanai sands hoping theirs asses wouldnt be kicked for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The IDF has already conceded that this was the result of an errant shell. What else is there to investigate? New ways to drag Israel's name through the mud? Tutu would do better to investigate the storage and firing of weapons from civilian areas in Gaza. Gaza, by the way, is not under a siege. (How could it be, when Israel is providing food, fuel, and power?) Even if it were a siege, that wouldn't be illegal under the laws of war.

If he really cared about stopping Apartheid shouldn't he visit the so-called 'refugee' camps of Lebanon?

Why is it illegal for israel to defend itself?

GO HOME! there's a lot more sick humanity there!

What with xenophobia and affirmative action,corruption,highest rape and murder rate in the world back home in South Africa,not to mention violent crime,aids inflation and unemployment all quite possibly the work of white Jews,one wonders what his eminence is doing here.Go home ladybird or your children will burn.Totsiens Tutu

he was a notorious hater of israel back from the 1980's. nice that the UN sent him as an envoy (there's a yawn for you)

I agree 100% BUT who wants a cancer in their midst and the arabs know this

Without declaring, as Mr. Tutu to stay in Sderot for a week

Tutu go back to South Africa and stop the killing and investigate the ethnic cleasnsing that your people are committing against other Africans.You are out of your depth here.
