One wonders why you think that the people who inhabit Israel and Gaza and the surrounding areas are above criticism and why they should not be criticized? Or, are you only suggesting that Bishop Tutu is not qualified to do so? And yes, the legacies of colonialism and racism unfortunately will be with us for a very long time. However, dialog, robust dialog will hasten the day we see utopia, much sooner than you wish it and I say so, not sarcastically but with a heartfelt prayer that will be on our way.
Mr. Telhomme,
Of course, Tutu is qualified to do so. What I think Bishop Tutu should do,
however, is to keep his nose out of others' affairs and stick to his own affairs--namely, the disintegration and disaster under his very nose i.e. South Africa.
As for your adolescent dreams of utopia, one can only note the following:
the desire for, and the implementation of ,utopian projects have always ended in failure, and often in human suffering and disaster on a vast scale.
I speak of such utopians as Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Robespierre, James Jones--the list of tragedies goes on and on.
....Cato
Using your reasoning regarding Tutu 'Minding his own business' Dont you think this same law applies to Jews?Than why do the Jews run to America every second.Sort your own problems out .Its biggots like you with hipocritic views that should take a lesson from the South Africans that athough we were opppressed by your white brothers once we got freedom we did not retaliate with violance.You wont comment on this rather justify the blatent bombng of innocent mothers an children in Ghaza saying that the 'terrorists' were hiding there .What rubbish!!!! Get out of your shell and see life beyond your racist views,,,

hi black south africans seem to forget that there problems are not the african blacks there. the effects of the aparthied era will not be solved by taking out violence of their fellow blacks. while i was visiting the country i foundout black south africans were not interested on taking advantage of some financial and skill acquisition programmesand educational scholarships but were always looking for excuses for their problems. nigerians selling drugs there do so due to the available market, back at home they dont as there is no ready market for them. south africans stop consuming drugs so that drug peddlers will have nobody to sell to. issue of AIDS and ghana well south africans should also not forget about some of there cultural beliefs like having sex with a child will cure the disease. nobody will love u more than ur fellow blacks.
hi black south africans do not forget that during apartheid sruggle zambia in particular was used as a fight tool, we provided you with a platform for apartheid regime struggle for almost four decades upto independence. most of anc officails used stay in lusaka including your current president. and to make matters worse the white minority govt used send mercenaries to flush out anc combandants and in the process some zambians were killed, but no single zambian campainged for the removal of anc staff.samoral machel died for the apartheid struggle.
(zimbabweans should to laugh or pass derogatory remarks over our economic situation in the 80s,but look is happening in zimbabwe today, we still love zimbabweans still)
zambia played a vital role in liberation of zimbabwe,including other counties like angola,mozambique and namibia.
no any other country surpassed zambia in term of southern african countries liberation struggle capacity.
zambians still love our fellow black south africans, but your current activities are unbearable.
we love other blacks like pele of brazil,mike tyson or mike jackson or don king of usa,jamacan rastas etc (and not forgeting mr nelson mandela our trade mark for antiaparheid struggle or icon

Well, we all know what South African Bishop, Desmond Tutu ,will do now.
Why, of course. He will make yet one more visit to....Israel, Gaza, and the 'West Bank' where he will once again, lament the killing and wounding of courageous palestinian
'freedom fighters' by the Jews and Zionists.
We all know, don't we, that once the Zionists/Jews/colonialists have been
defeated, South Africa will enter a new utopia. The rest of Sub-Saharan
Africa will follow suit.
