1. Outlaw Dhimmiism
Zechariah   (05.29.13)
Outlaw Dhimmi the Protection tax except as a General Security Tax against Jihadi World Calofiti Neonazism and African Tribalism Atrocities .
2. Mind your own business
Arul   (05.29.13)
Mr Tutu, Shut up.
3. Vile and Venomous What does he hide
norbus ,   Jerusalem   (05.29.13)
TUTU is a mischief maker and a vile man with no conscience. He is driven by blind prejudiced emotions from his own sordid background in South Africa, and not from reality or measured sense of justice. Tutu is a disgrace to the cloth he wears
4. More importantly
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (05.29.13)
Bishop Tutu must be stripped out his Nobel peace award.
5. and what has this rabid anti-semite tutu
frank ,   rehovot   (05.29.13)
have to say about banning africian nations that wage war against themselves leaving untold 100's of thousands dead! What has this blatent jew hating piece of garbage had to say about arab violence against jews? What about arab violence against women? What about arab violence against the world? He is an old school, senile anti-semite who doesn't have a thing to say about anything in the world except how the jews are the root cause of all evil. And this is black leadership? Well, actually this is black leadership at its best!
6. It would be very good
Mira ,   Vienna   (05.29.13)
if somebody would start to resist the blatant Antisemitism (in the clothes of "Antiisraelism"), I hope UEFA keeps on resisting! It would shame all the mischieves, including Hawking.
7. Bishop, fight Apartheid! First find it.
Seth Greenberg ,   Raanana   (05.29.13)
With all due respects to a man who fought successfully against an unjust government and its Apartheid policies in S. Africa, Bishop Tutu is a Jew hater who abuses his power. In this newspaper, there is an article by Giulio Meotti (http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4107913,00.html) that presents Tutu's history of hatred and attempts to demonize Israel and the Jews over the years. Calling us Nazis, racists, scary, too powerful and foretelling the day when Israel will disappear. Not surprising for a Nobel Peace Prize winner. I suggest we boycott Desmond Tutu. Not because of the color of his skin or his religious beliefs. Not because of his questionable and ignorant choices regarding political alignment. But simply because he hates. He embarrasses his coreligionists who love their fellow man as they would want to be loved themselves. Clearly, he has forgotten who his fellow man was during the years of fighting Apartheid in S. Africa.
8. Nobody's listening to him anyway
JtC ,   Jhb / NIr Eliyahu   (05.29.13)
Either in Israel or in South Africa. I'm ashamed as a SA citizen when this guy starts talking about the middle east, because of how little he knows about it...
9. BATUTU HAS AN INFERIORITY COMPLEX
Israeli 2   (05.29.13)
Leave him be. Meshugene...you know.
10. My best wishes
Yosef ,   Ashdod   (05.29.13)
to this man I guess he deserves a facial, and to go f#$@%$*&( with his apartheid designs
11. Under 21 soccer
Ronnie ,   Israel   (05.29.13)
Perhaps Tutu wants the soccer to take place in Syria
12. I hope Tutu has no children
jay abouaf ,   jaffa israel   (05.29.13)
13. Show some sympathy
Tim ,   Brighton   (05.29.13)
To a man (named after the TuTu Bird) clearly losing (or lost?) his marbles Is this the very person who condemned the Wall as 'monstrous' but point blank refused to condemn the Terrorism that it was built to contain? Says it all - Bird Brain!
14. Tutu is wrong - Holy Land Olympics 2028
Adam Neira ,   Paris, France   (05.29.13)
Why can't the State of Israel host the under 21's UEFA Championship Final ? Why can't Israel host many different events on its soil ? The problem with the people who push BDS and similar protests against Israel is that they fail to see the bigger picture. The whole region's economic health is interconnected, so if one area improves other areas can benefit. Tourists also would like to travel to different areas in the Holy Land and Middle East if it is safe. Here's an idea...How about Israel and Palestine host a joint Olympics in 2028 ? Sounds far fetched. Maybe not...
15. Ungrateful bastard!
tom ,   tel aviv   (05.29.13)
16. Tutu is an antisemitic CRIMINAL !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.29.13)
17. Israel is not apartheid. Israel is not former Sth Africa.
NudNik69   (05.29.13)
Definitions are very important - especially to jew-hating sloganeers like tutu. They make them up to suit their agenda as they go along.
18. to tutu
michael weinreich ,   cape town   (05.29.13)
desmond tutu my garden boy has more brains than you will ever have your a sick man ROT IN HELL AMEN
19. Tutu does not miss an opportunity to be in the news, yet
Gideon78 ,   Cpt South Africa   (05.29.13)
his hypocrisy shines brightly. Where was his condemnations of Hamas when they banned women from entering the Gaza Marathon a day or 2 before it was scheduled to start?? Last time I checked there were Arabs, Blacks and Whites in the Israeli U21 team. Next point if he is worried about the treatment of Palestinians by Israel then how come he does not condemn the racist acts by the hooligans? What about the way other European countries act against each other....just goes to show they Tutu has a different agenda...one that singles out Israel...I would not be surprised if Tutu has converted to Islam...
20. Did Desmond Tutu bomb Syria?
Miron ,   USA   (05.29.13)
Safety first! Stay home.
21. This "anti - semite" visited Ierhslaim and Yad Vashem.
Miron ,   USA   (05.29.13)
He spoke poor words of Israel unfairly. That sure happened... But the row calling him names on this site right now is just the kind of friends that are worse than enemies.
22. tutu
ben   (05.29.13)
In South Africa whites are discriminated against crime is rampent rapes murders against whites
23. Desmond Tutu
Robert Haymond ,   Teko'a, Israel   (05.29.13)
This leader is a fraud. He depises the Nation of Israel almost to a point of seething hatred yet stands up as a leader of a country that is so utterly corrupt that within South Africa itself everybody takes it for granted while Tuto plays the part of the beneficent statesman on the outside. Once Nelson Mandella dies, the White population will become massive targets for the majority Black population with this "bishop" organizing the "parade".
24. I agree. Move the tournament to...
David ,   Israel   (05.29.13)
,,,Al Quasir, Syria. And give Tutu tickets.
25. The from a man who country guns down protesters!
Dee Bee ,   Israel   (05.29.13)
He vilifies Jews - the same Jews that helped him fight Apartheid! He condemns Israel but not the 2013 South African Apartheid - the wealthy black and white rich oppressing the poverty stricken Blacks! No doubt he is a valued guest of honor at President Zumas $20 million home while the people he once championed live in tin shanties and in total squalor. He should be told that the PALESTINIANS have refused to play Barcelona in a friendly to be held in Israel as part of an Israel-Palestinian team! Tutu is nothing but an antisemitic bigot and a sick has-been!
26. Tutu, another black african living the
ben   (05.29.13)
good life off the backs of his people!
27. be quit and listen.........................
tiki ,   belgium   (05.29.13)
The African monkey is making funny noises again. But this African monkey is frightfully quit when it comes to the 1.5 million refugees + 100 000 dead Syrians right under his little nose! This African monkey is also very quit when suicide bombers take thousands of lives in the Muslim world! And this African monkey is even more quit when it comes to the millions of hungry people in the world! This African monkey should be caught and be locked away forever! O, it's not an African monkey, but a Bishop and a fighter for Human rights? Well, good, because he doesn't come close to the African monkey who doesn't harm the world as he does.
28. On behalf of the South African public...
Ils ,   South Africa   (05.29.13)
This man does not express the South African public's view. The majority of us support Israel. It is our leadership who feels otherwise.
29. Tutu is an antisemitic CRIMINAL !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.29.13)
30. Johannesburg is the child rape capital of the world.
(05.29.13)
Obviously, Desmond Tutu is not very effective in his own country.
