1. Bishop Tutu is showing him stupidity again
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (09.18.08)
The Mandate to create a Jewish state was established in 1922. Long before the Nazis ever came to power. Since the basic facts elude you anything else you might care to add is a waste of time. Go learn the facts before uttering anymore nonsense.
2. Also, Tutu, racism is not the exclusive preserve of whites
Jake   (09.18.08)
Believe it or not.
3. No, they're paying for their nonstop attacks on Jews
5th generation ,   Israel   (09.18.08)
which started long before the Holocaust. Does anyone really believe that if they hadn't made life so difficult for Jews in the Yishuv that Jabotinsky and Ben Gurion would have hated them so much? Get real. We made functional peace with the Germans almost immediately after the Shoah, because both sides were committed to a working relationship. Nothing more, nothing less.
4. reply to #1, Gee
Moshe ,   tel aviv   (09.18.08)
Shut up Gee, have some respect for a man of G-D. He is entitled to his opinion just as you are entitled to yours.
5. WRONG MORON - JEWS WANTED TO COME HOME TO THEIR ANCIENT HOME
Andrew ,   Miami,Fl   (09.19.08)
6. suffering of the people of Gaza???
Harriet ,   U.S   (09.19.08)
Israel gave Gaza to the murderous Palestinians Desmond Tutu, archbishop of South Africa where your streets are unsafe to walk. If those people from Gaza are fenced in it is because they created that themselves. ....But then I am sure you wouldn't mind if Israel opened up Gaza so the Gazans could really finish their job, would you. (forget it, I am sure you are not bothered by truth even though you besmirch the collar you wear by your lies) Sadly, I feel the statement I made above must be true for otherwise anyone without a bit of sense in their heads and feeling in their heart would not have made such insanely transparent comments as you have. Well, you did your job. You denigrated the victims with your blood libel lies while uplifting the victimizers. Congratulations Desmond Tutu for a job well done...
7. palestinian and the shoa
abi ,   panama city, panama   (09.19.08)
The problem is the arabs. They procrastinated the refugee problem ,The earlier wars and now they want what they could have had then. Cook the cake, bake it and eat it. so tipical Abi
8. Moshe #4
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (09.19.08)
Take a flying leap at a donut. There is no such thing as a man of G-D. He is just another stupid outsider without an original thought. If somebody thinks that the UN all of sudden decides after World War II that we should have our own state, then he doesn't know a thing about the facts. As for opinion, those are facts that I stated.
9. the tutu-man, Israel hater par excellence
Mark ,   USA   (09.19.08)
Once again the bigot and Jew/Israel-hater, d. tutu stays true to his convictions, even to the point of being ludicrously absurd. It's obvious to anyone with eyes and an unbiased brain that mighty Europe regrets its support of Israel, and remains the home of the worst Jew-hatred (except for tutu and the ayrabs) since the nazis.
10. war crimes? tutu is a crime!
Mark   (09.19.08)
Frankly, Israel should've leveled wherever the missiles were coming from. 175mm cannons should've blanketed the area and the pali people who succor the terrorists should've been made to pay the price. But the world sucks and today, the criminal is the hero.
11. Bishop Tutu
Ben ,   Monroe, USA   (09.19.08)
The bishop may be learned in Christianity, but lacks the ability to see beyond his nose. The Arab world was in cahoots with Hitler and wanted to make certain Jews did not immigrate to Palestine during the nazi regime. No the Arabs are not paying for Hitler's depredations. They are living with their own depredations which began much earlier than the Shoah.
12. Tutu!Arabs are only 25% in 1967 Israel-Its not Apartheid SA
Alan ,   SA   (09.19.08)
This guy is part of the Revolutionary comrades in SA who have advised the Pals to take a line equating Israel with Apartheid SA. The Jews are about 75% of the population in Israel .Thats why Tutu and SA twaddle is garbage . It is also why the Pals dont want any other solution than a SA solution in one state. The idea of a homeland for Jews was put forward in 1926 and 1917 .by Balfour .
13. Tutu hates the word "Israel"-He prefers the word "Holy Land"
(09.19.08)
14. Jordan is Palestine
Abu Nayef ,   Jordan   (09.19.08)
The free world should help Palestinians in Jordan obtain their civil rights, thus solve the Palestinian-Israali crisis.
15. Moshe, #4, isn't that being a little hypocritical?
Jake   (09.19.08)
You told Gee he is entitled to his opinion, just after telling him to shut up. In fact, it is Tutu that is stating his opinion, while Gee was in fact stating a historical fact.
16. What about the jews from Arab countries , they want their
rachel ,   usa   (09.19.08)
property an billions taken away from them when they were kicked out and made refugees.What do you have to say about that TUTU. I have no more respect for you ......
17. And what about Gilad Shalit . NO RED Cross for him ....
rachel ,   usa   (09.19.08)
Where are the so called human right activists for him ? What do you have to say about that TUTU?
18. Another terrorist loving jew-hater speaks trash.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (09.19.08)
19. JEWS ARE PALISTINIAN AND PALIS ARE REALLY SYRIANS AND EGYPTI
GET IT STRAIGHT, ,   ..............DACON9   (09.19.08)
20. #4 TUTU IS SHOWING HIS STUPIDITY AGAIN
MAN OF WHAT? LOL ,   ..............DACON9   (09.19.08)
21. unfathomable
Gedalia ,   Perth   (09.19.08)
The victims of the Nazi's were Jews. The victims of Palestinian hatred are Jews. Stop blaming the victim. Desmond Tutu - you are on the wrong side of history. Your moral bankruptcy will forever be etched on your conscience.
22. Mgr Tutu, unbelievable !
waltk ,   Sherbrooke, Canada   (09.19.08)
This man, as great he could be, become blind about palestian and arab crimes. I'm wonderind what would he think if Afrikaneer terrorists throw 1000 rockets on Johanesbourg ?
23. Mgr Tutu 2
Waltk ,   Sherbrooke, Canada   (09.19.08)
Mgr Tutu should worry about his own country and his neighbors Zimbabweans...
24. Antichrist not Archbishop. what a dope...
(09.19.08)
25. #4-personal attacks mitigate your complaints
Arie ,   BaGolan   (09.19.08)
Just because tutu alleges to "be a man of G-d" doesn't make him immune from objective observations. He joins other anglican church ministers that have gone out of their way to apologize to islamofascism for the Christians in the world. That he has proven himself an antisemite (and if you read his commentaries that would jump out at you) is self-evident. That he masks himself in the cloak of a minister does not mitigate that. REMEMBER:some of the most demonic Jew haters in history conducted actions under the same cloak. Would you have us excuse them simply because of an alleged religiosity? Now, try and respond to issues and not stage personal attacks when you can't
26. Bishop Tutu is Honorable
Thundercloud65 ,   Oklahoma City USA   (09.19.08)
It seems that whenever an individual says something the Israelis do not wish to hear, he or she is demonized as anti-semitic or is just plain evil. The israelis and Palestinians are locked in this macabre dance where the Palestinians attack to gain their independence and the Israelis are forced to respond to ensure their security. No people should be expected to endure rocket attacks or suicide bombers in their markets, but neither should a people be forced to live in squalid camps or have others rule over them by force of the gun. Surely a better way can be found.
27. All on the same page....
Edithann, USA   (09.19.08)
I just love these comments...you're all so filled with hate you can't see anything else.. When you steal someones lands. and homes .you must live as rabid dogs for time immemorial...And no about of whining will change what you have done.. Grow up and assume the responsibilty... I bet this comment will not be posted..as Ynet is a PR feel good space for whiners... TATA TATA
28. Tutu: Palestinians paying for leaders like Tutu
Simha ,   Toronto, Canada   (09.19.08)
Was it not in Tutus Homeland that His people learned to blame ALL their missery into the Jews ? What else is new ?
29. Send Tutu to Sederot
emanon ,   USA   (09.19.08)
Then let him see who does not want a "just and lasting peace".
30. Give tutu NO RESPECT!
Michael Ezrachi ,   St. Louis, USA   (09.19.08)
tutu is anti Israel. Show that disgrace of a man no respect.
