61. Tutsie
ester ,   melbourne   (08.12.11)
He has all the hallmark of a Tutsie.. or in other words, a women in the closet dying to come out
62. "Archbishop" TUTU
George Haas ,   New Orleans, LA   (08.12.11)
He's a monkey, at best. Why doesn't he join his fellow priests in sodomizing young choir boys??
63. TUTU
George Haas ,   New Orleans, USA   (08.12.11)
There are many nations, now mere footnotes in History, that have bitten the dust. Fortunately, after 3500 years, we Jews are still here; stronger than ever. Does anyone speak Latin these days; except some priestly pedofiles??
64. IQ 22

65. South Africa's reality
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (08.12.11)
As I know no significant israeli arab citizens emmigrated abroad in the last decade. In contrary 1,5 millions of SAR's white peoples left South Africa since middle 90-s.Officially recognised the main reason is criminality of blacks against whites. So when a black robber kills a white, it is always said "you must die not because you are white, but because you are rich" So racism exists only in Israel, not in South Africa.Congratulations to mr. Tutu.
66. to tutu or not to tutu ?
patrick a. hammel ,   zermatt,switzerland   (08.12.11)
If what he says can be judged as detrimental to anyone then why not sue him and ask for a symbolic rand if convicted by a court of law? Or is Tutu above the law by any chance?
67. Long live Israel
Milena ,   Prague, Czech Rep,   (08.12.11)
68. #37 ezra, #41 graczek
solomon ,   bklyn   (08.12.11)
Israel's actions are a direct result of attempts to annihilate it. They LEFT Gaza, remember? They GAVE the PA a lot of freedom in the WB and then had to return due to terrorism, remember? Israel's "racist campaign" includes treating the "Pals" in Israeli hospitals, allowing in necessary items, and checking entering vehicles for arms. Some "racist campaign". Tutu defames himself. Final proof you are wrong: #41 graczek agrees with you.
69. to #55
Nechama ,   USA/Israel   (08.12.11)
Thank you. I would like to visit South Africa one day!
70. A few things to clear up
Desmond (not Tutu) ,   Spain   (08.12.11)
Tutu is Anglican, 1 of the most anti-Semitic out-of-line churches, many of its members now Catholics,the great killer of Jews in Spain during Inquisition. Tutu is NOT a Bible-believing Christian, but a heretical opportunist. No true follower of Christ will be against Israel, His people. I lived thru apartheid & have been to Israel. Israel is an open society with Arab squatters in its provinces of Judea/Samaria intent on taking over & wrecking Israel as Tutu/Mandela's mobs are now doing to SA.
71. How odd - a poem for Tutu
Desmond (not Tutu) ,   Spain   (08.12.11)
How odd That GOd Should choose The Jews. But not as odd As those who choose The Jewish GOd But hate the Jews.
72. As a South African...
Anon ,   Cyrildene JHB, SA   (08.12.11)
I personally apologise for this so called “man of God”; for his doings are more closely aligned with the devil. He is part and parcel of the ANC regime – and as such, I would press Israel to ignore him completely. He has become insane in his old age (like Carter) and doesn’t know the situation on the ground… all he can do is laugh. It amazes me how he can focus on Israel when in South Africa; crime & corruption is rampant, with 800 deaths a day from Aids, 30% unemployment and a failing agriculture system – this so called “Proud South African” finds the time to criticize Israel - When in fact he should be criticising the next Hitler = Malema and the corruption that is destroying the only real economy in Africa. But this is Africa I guess… a land designed to fail. He obviously hates Jews more than he loves South Africa…
73. He is just a non believer. Nough said
Johan Fourie ,   Durban   (08.12.11)
Yes – in all definitions of that of the word! He hates whites… so why you jews so surprised he doesn’t like jews/israel?
74. awards have a habit of going to peoples heads
zionist forever   (08.12.11)
Just look at Peres, once the father of Israel's nuclear program. Today he has a Nobel Prize, he has been given a Knighthood from the queen of England and a whole host of other awards and he thinks he knows it all. Jimmy Carter we gave him a knighthood and he went from being a failed one term president into a statesman who also writes books supposedly factual but in reality full of lies. Desmond Tutu he has had his Nobel Prize, Presidential Medal of Freedom and to top it all he is an Archbishop so I am sure that only adds to his feeling of moral authority because of his closeness to G-D. The man is a fool and probably an anti semite, don't forget the Jews killed Jesus. During the war the Pope who the current Pope is about to incur sainthood upon was a Nazi stooge. The Catholic Church has alot to apologize to the Jews about. Now this great man of the church who is a source of such moral authority is moaning Jews have a monopoly on the Holocaust, he says we should forgive the Nazi's promoting blood liable's. It seems he has also forgotten what apartheid was actually about if he thinks the security barrier is an apartheid wall. The palestinians are not Israeli citizens, who we are walling them into townships and of course he doesn't seem to have noticed all those suicide bombings. Time for him to look for a new cause to champion, one where the people really do live under oppressive regimes like Iran, Saudi Arabia ... oh yeh I nearly forgot the Muslims see Jesus as a prophet so after Christians they are their religion is second best whilst Jews belong on the dung heap.
75. Tutu
Valiant ,   Italia   (08.12.11)
This man speaks from his human past position and his mindset not from G..d .He will not continue to persecute us those who do eventually fall and this one will fall on his pride for sure
76. Desmond Tutu
Ronald ,   Chicago ,U.S.A.   (08.12.11)
As an African-American, I am familiar with racism, and I know Israel is not racist. I have been to Israel, and Iknow that it is a beautiful country with a populace that is peceful as well as creative. Israel's problem is that it is too kind and humane in defending itself against it's vicious cowardly enemies.
77. I can tell you that Tutu is not the peaceful uncle he pretends to be.
Alan ,   SA   (08.12.11)
78. Tutu's Anti- Semitism proven
Shalom Freedman ,   Jerusalem Israel   (08.12.11)
This article makes an incontrovertible case for Desmond Tutu's Anti- Semitism. He has caused damage to Israel in the past and intends to do so in the future. Let us hope that this article will contribute to his discrediting.
79. Desmond Tutu
Allen Z. Hertz ,   Ottawa, Canada   (08.12.11)
Sometimes, it is hard to say whether an isolated statement or an individua act is anti-Semitic. But, Tutu's persistent pattern of anti-Jewish discrimination is easy to spot. Too bad many still do not understand that the modern meaning of anti-Semitism includes persistently targeting Jews and/or Israel and persistently applying to Jews and/or Israel a more exigent standard than "regularly" applied to other peoples and countries in the same or similar circumstances. (see www.allenzhertz.com ). Shame on Tutu and other Christian clerics who discriminate against Jews and/or Israel! Christians like Tutu have been persecuting Jews for almost two millennia. Tutu's conduct sadly shows that such reprehensible Christian abuse has not come to an end.
80. Archenemy
mark propheter ,   covington,KY USA   (08.12.11)
Is it this reason that AIPAC flies in black educated future leaders from around the world to there annual yearly conference in Washington DC!? You need to start listening to those "self hating Jews" for your information!
81. The Holocaust did not happen so long ago.
noa ,   israel   (08.12.11)
What is wrong with the world feeling guilty about it? The World had a huge part in it. Why is he so against Israel? What did we do to him? Maybe we helped South Africa? Even so, we can win by bombarding all the internet sites with images of Israeli Jews and Arabs working side by side, eating in the same restaurants, riding the same buses, being treated in the same hospitals. We are so good at making films, what about shooting the truth?
82. 59 he is an ANGLICAN ...CHURCH OF ENGLAND Archpishof
Alan ,   SA   (08.12.11)
83. #21 lebanon
solomon ,   bklyn   (08.12.11)
#21 lebanon Both these men know what aparthied but have been blinded by success and seeing apartheid where it isn't. Israel has arab judges and members of the Knesset. Arabs vote. Black Africans with connections to Judaism have been taken in. Yet Hamas and the PA have a death penalty for anyone that so much as sells land to Jews. Who practices apartheid? Hint: it ain't the Jews. It is you who are eating the false hasbara of others.
84. #4 david
solomon ,   bklyn   (08.12.11)
#4 david 1. Israel has arab judges and members of the Knesset. Arabs vote. Black Africans with connections to Judaism have been taken in. Yet Hamas and the PA have a death penalty for anyone that so much as sells land to Jews. There, it is not only 'settlements' that must be judenrein; it is everywhere. Who practices apartheid? Hint: it ain't the Jews. 2. Boycotting a university is boycotting a university. Period. 3. Instead of repeating mantras, why don't you state why Israel apartheid, using the normal definition, not your own.
85. TUTU
Moisha kapoir ,   Nanuet USA   (08.12.11)
How can anyone take a man named after a Ballet dress seriously.
86. Israel is an apartheid state but Abbas wants WB Judenrein?!?
American ,   USA   (08.12.11)
87. A despicable man...
marat ,   vancouver, canada   (08.12.11)
Tutu has been the poster boy for anti-Semitism/anti-Israeli rhetoric for years and years. This man is an abomination to the Nobel Peace Prize. If he could push a button and destroy the Jews and Israel, he would do so in a flash.
88. is it possible...
Dino Domingo ,   Vancouver, Canada   (08.12.11)
Tutu's negativity towards Israel/Jews has anything to do with the fact he and many people feel like Israel supported apartheid? To a black man living in that country this probably makes sense just as an Israeli or Jew would think Islam supports anything anti Israel!
89. tutu
shaya ,   usa   (08.12.11)
Mr Tutu: Israel is an apartheid state? In Israel you can practice any religion you like without anyone stopping you, they have Jews, Christians Muslims, whites & blacks as members of parliament, judge’s doctors, lawyers and any type of profusion they chose without limitations. Can you say the same about Saudi Arabia (only Muslims allowed), Iran, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Gaza, west bank under PLO rule or any other country that is ruled by people like you in south Africa where they have been killing white farmers for the past 30 years. And you call Israel apartheid state? How many Muslim doctors practice in Israeli hospitals (thousands)? How many Jewish or Christian doctors in Saudi Arabian hospitals? (0) the only thing left to say is that you are a NAZI in capital letters. Or maybe not, maybe just dumb.
90. South African Failure
Dave ,   Boulder   (08.12.11)
By all accounts, South Africa seems to be crumbling. Perhaps the good Bishop should attend to his own ailing flock instead of fighting fake enemies.
