If Bishop Desmond Tutu is an anti-Semite - what hope for the rest of us?
You don't get many statesmen with the courage to say it like it is:“Israel will never get true security and safety through oppressing another people. A true peace can ultimately be built only on justice. We condemn the violence of suicide bombers, and we condemn the corruption of young minds taught hatred; but we also condemn the violence of military incursions in the occupied lands, and the inhumanity that won't let ambulances reach the injured.”

Who has a spare two minutes to play in this month's FG Trivia game! ... My other OS is Slackware. Écrasez l'infâme! When you design tactics to maximise suffering on civilian populations and your only constraint is operational rather than moral, you've told the world who you are.

'Individuals' behind Tutu petition - Times LIVE
The SA Zionist Federation has distanced itself from a petition to remove Archbishop Desmond Tutu as patron of the Holocaust centres in Cape Town and Johannesburg.
Bigots win many battles but will always lose the war. I like to believe so anyway.

Strange. I thought he said that a long time ago.
What would be really cool is if someone of upstanding character saying something like that actually makes an impact. If nothing else, I think the slinging of "anti-Semite" accusations is starting to make people's eyes roll instead of pop open.
