Tutu has no credibility WRT Israel when he claims Israel within its borders is apartheid. n/t shira Jul 2016 #28

Wrong. Again, Tutu was quoted stating Israel within its borders is Apartheid... shira Jul 2016 #35

Interesting. I wonder if he's referring to East Jerusalem Violet_Crumble Jul 2016 #38

You can be opposed to Israeli policy w/o supporting a racist hate movement like BDS.... shira Jul 2016 #5

Mondoweiss disagrees with "...strongly rejecting idea Israel & Zionism = Jews" shira Jul 2016 #54

Your conclusion seems to be based on a misunderstanding of the content of the MW article, Little Tich Jul 2016 #55

Only because you falsely define Israel's existence as a Jewish state as apartheid. aranthus Jul 2016 #6

No. For me it's all about rights. Little Tich Jul 2016 #8
