he hates everyone who isn't a white male. And plenty of people hate Jews but hold no other bigotry. But I agree they hold no love of the Palestinians. Just another group that are satisfied to let the Palestinians suffer more so they can poke Israel in the eye. Any group that doesn't tell them they need to sit down with Israel and hammer out an agreement is doing them a disservice and obviously doesn't care about them because that's the ONLY way they're going to get a state.

Has their ever been a precedent in history of boycotting Jews or Jewish businesses in the world? King_David May 2016 #67

They are boycotting a country because they deem some of it's policies in violation of Tony_FLADEM May 2016 #69

So the homophobic gay hating filth government in the Palestinian statelet is supported King_David May 2016 #70

If there is a lethal hate on Gays as there is in Palestine and Uganda and Islamic state and Iran King_David May 2016 #74

not according to Desmond Tutu moreover the author Leon Jamaine Mithi is currently a law student azurnoir May 2016 #8

Tutu has that old Church hatred of the chosen people. Got a better example? shira May 2016 #13

so according to you Desmond Tutu is an anti semite? a hater of Jews? azurnoir May 2016 #16

His work with Sabeel is all the proof I need. They're old-school Jew haters. n/t shira May 2016 #18

Desmond Tutu an antisemite? but a guy who was around 3-5 yrs when Apartheid ended is azurnoir May 2016 #19

His own quotes speak for themselves... shira May 2016 #25

LOL, of course there are those that sit in Minnesota King_David May 2016 #23

and some assume quite a bit don't they? However Tutu is South African and did actually live azurnoir May 2016 #24

His background doesn't mean anything based on his POV on Jews. n/t shira May 2016 #26

He has commanded Jews on their role in ending apartheid in SA azurnoir May 2016 #28

I hope you can at least agree that antisemites' views on the Jewish state are irrelevant... shira May 2016 #29

You were critical of the author King_David May 2016 #31

I pointed out Desmond Tutu who lived under apartheid far longer than the author possibly could have azurnoir May 2016 #32

Quite a few S.Africans including Richard Goldstone call BS on Israeli apartheid claims. shira May 2016 #33

Goldstone was involved in the death sentences of Black's in apartheid SA azurnoir May 2016 #49

Good point. So let's dismiss both Tutu and Goldstone due to their prejudices. n/t shira May 2016 #50

Tutu did sentence anyone to anything nor can I find Goldstone saying anything about the term azurnoir May 2016 #51

No, he's just a bigot so he's fine. n/t shira May 2016 #52

that Tutu is a bigot is your opinion -not a fact azurnoir May 2016 #53

If Tutu's statements are old antisemitic tropes that the vast majority.... shira May 2016 #56

I would say "if" is operative word here azurnoir May 2016 #57

Tutu has made some awkward and some questionable comments but cali May 2016 #20

Yea , I don't think he actually hates Jews King_David May 2016 #22

See #25. And I didn't know he praised Jews in their role for dismantling Apartheid. shira May 2016 #27

And yet, so many black South Africans seem to disagree Scootaloo May 2016 #55

There's nothing wrong about Christian viewpoints on Israel. shira May 2016 #59
