As mentioned by Will in this post, St. Thomas University administrators cancelled a talk scheduled for this Spring by Nobel Laureate and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. The anti-free-flow-of-information administrators banned Tutu because he has made some statements “against Israeli policy.” In particular, Doug Hennes, St. Thomas’s vice president for university and government relations, lambasted Tutu for “compar[ing] the state of Israel to Hitler.” While initially it was thought that Hennes was either outright fabricating this allegation or was spoon-fed this false information (for Tutu has never compared Israel to Hitler), KABOBfest investigative reporter Chaim Sugarman has uncovered a number of incriminating photos that will surely vindicate St. Thomas University’s seemingly insane decision:
Here Tutu plans the mass killing of Jews with Hitler in Berlin, 1939. This probably explains why Israel publicly supported white supremacy and South African Apartheid until its demise
This picture was taken in 1999 (as you can see from the length of bin Laden’s beard, the camera’s date setting of 1996 is obviously incorrect). According to Mort Klein of the Zionist Organization of America, here Tutu and bin Laden are planning 9-11 in one of Saddam’s bunkers (turns out Saddam was sheltering him all along). Can you believe this guy was almost allowed to speak at one of our Universities! (photo credit: Will “free speach” Youmans – ya, he was there too)
Tutu with Saddam: for years Tutu was mistaken for Donald Rumsfeld in this photo; turns out that was just a photoshop job by the America/God-hating liberal media

Desmond Tutu is an antisemite, pure and simple.
Take this paragraph from his “Israel: Time to Divest” :
To criticize the occupation is not to overlook Israel’s unique strengths, just as protesting the Vietnam War did not imply ignoring the distinct freedoms and humanitarian accomplishments of the United States. In a region where repressive governments and unjust policies are the norm, Israel is certainly more democratic than its neighbours. This does not make dismantling the settlements any less a priority. Divestment from apartheid South Africa was certainly no less justified because there was repression elsewhere on the African continent. Aggression is no more palatable in the hands of a democratic power. Territorial ambition is equally illegal whether it occurs in slow motion, as with the Israeli settlers in the Occupied Territories, or in blitzkrieg fashion, as with the Iraqi tanks in Kuwait. The United States has a distinct responsibility to intervene in atrocities committed by its client states, and since Israel is the single largest recipient of US arms and foreign aid, an end to the occupation should be a top concern of all Americans.
Sounds good doesn’t it? But anti-semitism at its worst is holding Jews to standards that other nations are not held to.
Is Tutu supporting divestment from Syira where 15% of the population (the Alawites) hold the rest captive? No. Syria is a true apartheid state.
Is Tutu supporting a divestment from China that has been occupying Tiber forever? No.
How about divestment from the US for the occupation of Iraq? Not a word.
And the list can go on.
Tutu is an antisemite because he is signaling out Israel for divestment. When a Palestinian does it, it is not antisemitism because it is a natural way for Palestinians to fight Israel.
But Tutu is a third party and has no dog in the fight. By focusing on Israel in a sea of human rights violations, without explaining why Israel deserves to be punished more than China or Syria, Tutu portrays himself as an antisemite.
Posted by Anonymous | October 5, 2007, 10:44 amHey kid, you can make this argument all you want, but the vast majority (or probably the entirety) of your audience will find it less than convincing, and many will probably find it humorous.
Here’s a better argument; Tutu is an anti-Semite b/c he was buddies with Hitler (LOOK AT THE PICTURE!)
Posted by Fadi | October 5, 2007, 10:51 amAlso, kid, what you’re suggesting is that in order to criticize Israel, one must also criticize every other human rights violator in the world… otherwise, it’s anti-Semitism. Do you realize how silly this idea is. Clearly just a recipe for passivity and silence.
You know, at one point, Tutu singled out the South African Apartheid regime for criticism and boycotts, divestment, sanctions. Does that mean that Tutu is also racist against whites?
Posted by Fadi | October 5, 2007, 11:05 amI guess whenever we see those Holocaust memorials, where people read out loud the names of those killed by the Nazis, we are also witnessing racism against others killed in other genocides/massaceres.
All those people reading the names of holocause victims must hate the victims of the Turkish genocide against Armenians, the Palestinians massacared throughout the years by Israelis, the Native Americans, Africans during the slave trade, etc. etc. etc.
Posted by Yasser | October 5, 2007, 11:25 amAs usual, you don’t follow the argument.
Human Rights Watch when it criticizes Israel is not antisemitic because its aim is to monitor human rights. When a Palestinian criticizes Israel it is only natural because it affects him directly. When Tutu fought against apartheid in South Africa it was not racism, he was fighting for his own rights.
If HRW would suggest divesting from EVERY country that commits human rights violation, they would not be antisemitic. If Tutu would have advocated the same, I would have no beef with him. But Tutu is signalling out Israel that even Chomsky agrees is not even close to being one of the worst human rights violation. Therefore Tutu is holding Jews to a different standard and is an antisemite.
Most people understand this argument and its validity. Hold all the world rights abusers to the same standard and the same punishment. Demand divestment from China, the US, Russia etc., otherwise, when you pick on a low level abuser like Israel, and ignore the rest, then you are an antisemite.

Well it does kind of suck that there’s no mention whatsoever of any of the Poles and Roma and homosexuals that died in the Holocaust at the Holocaust museum I went to in DC. Especially considering the way Roma are still being treated in some parts of eastern Europe.
Isn’t the Israeli government one of very few that still refuses to recognize the Armenian genocide? Didn’t the ADL just get in shit for looking the other way about it?
Posted by nadia | October 5, 2007, 12:23 pm“Holocaust” is the name given to the genocide of the Jews. If the Poles and the Roma and homosexuals want to commemorate their own genocide, they can build a museum also. Nobody is stopping them. In fact in Poland there are tons of such memorials.

Posted by yasser | October 5, 2007, 12:53 pmImpressive.
Posted by nadia | October 5, 2007, 1:01 pmWhat is impressive is that you wanted to find memorials to other people in the “Holocaust” museum. Were you amazed also that there were no Van Gogh paintings or a memorial for the Greek resistance?
Posted by Anonymous | October 5, 2007, 1:04 pmBecause they’re totally separate and completely unrelated events, I get it. That doesn’t make you not wrong.
Is that the only point of mine you’re going to address?
Posted by nadia | October 5, 2007, 1:11 pmYes, they are unrelated events. The homosexuals and the Roma’s were not targeted because they killed Jesus and had a plan to take over the world and were both at fault for capitalism and communism and were subjugating the Germans.
People like you that try to blur the ideology behind the holocaust because that is what your Arab brethern are still spewing are truly abhorent.
The Armenian genocide happened as well as the Rwandan one and the one in Darfur. It is not up to Israel to be a world policeman and act in a racist way like Tutu. Israel should mind only issues relating to Israel and Jews. We live it to the Palestinians to solve the world problems and to the UN to stop genocide.

Anon racist bitch is not discussing this in good faith, you know that, he knows that and I know that.
He’s being the racist bitch that so many zionuts are…who will say anything to distract from the fact that Israel controls the lives of millions of people yet denies them the same rights and privileges as it grants jews whom it controls.
Posted by yasser | October 5, 2007, 3:28 pmOh yeah, but it’s entertaining and I was procrastinating on some work.
Leave bitches out of this, though. I just got a terrier, and she’s awesome, not like this dude at all.
Posted by nadia | October 5, 2007, 3:37 pmTrue…
My bad about the my usage of the word “bitch”. I’m sure your terrier has more logic than this bigot.
Posted by yasser | October 5, 2007, 3:39 pmYasser,
Can’t control your temper can you?
Good faith you say? Since the one state solution is a transparent way to cause another genocide, we all know who isn’t neogitating in good faith.
Don’t worry. We would rather die than accept a one state solution and be murdered in our beds.
How is the academic boycott campaign going?
Posted by Anonymous | October 5, 2007, 7:08 pmNah, no temper here. Do I get mad? Of course, any human who sees an entire people being killed, controlled and oppressed just because they aren’t the right religion would be angry, that’s human.
In the immortal words of Ice Cube, you’re still a “mark ass buster” who advocates national genocide, tyranny and oppression.
People like you are always proven wrong, and one day, Israleli oppression, tyranny and apartheid will end, and Palestinians will live freely in their land.
Posted by Yasser | October 6, 2007, 12:59 pmThere will be a one state solution only when you kill me and 99% of the other Jews who are against it. And this time we are not going softly into the night. Get that into the thick skull of yours.
What is needed is an historical compromise that maintains both a Jewish state and a Palestinian state. Nothing else will work.
Posted by Anonymous | October 6, 2007, 2:28 pm>>>”There will be a one state solution only when you kill me…”
Wow, you are such an extremist terrorist – who would die to keep tyranny, oppression and his racial superior ideology going. Tell me more!
Posted by Yasser | October 6, 2007, 2:42 pmAnon 2:28,
what do you propose be done to the Palestinians who are living in Israel as Israeli citizens? Doesn’t their existence shatter your dream of a “Jewish State”? And if so, then why are you still alive?
Posted by Yasser | October 6, 2007, 4:02 pmequal rights for Palestinians! OVER MY DEAD BODY, you’d have to kill me to have equal rights!
Posted by Anonymous | October 6, 2007, 10:55 pmIf your worthless, racist life is standing between the Palestinians and justice, we might just have to….
Posted by Lowfields | October 7, 2007, 12:35 amJust as I thought, so the plan is to kill the 99% of Jews in Israel that are against the one state solution and then implement it. I certainly hope that both lowfields and Yasser will lead the charge.
The Israeli Arabs can stay in Israel or go to the Palestinian state. In fact, we would even be happy to transfer areas where Arabs live in Israel to Palestine so that they can have the best of both worlds. They can keep their land and be part of the Palestinian state. Unlike you that plans to kill the Jews, we view them as a minority in a democracy that has rights.
Get it into your thick heads, there will be a one state solution over our dead body. There will be a right of return over our dead body. So if you feel lucky, give it a try (as if you haven’t been trying for the last 60 years).
We know what Palestinian justice is, it is what Hamas is dispensing in Gaza. No thank you to your weird notion of justice. Go fool someone else.
Posted by Anonymous | October 7, 2007, 8:09 am8:09,
Well, your notion of justice doesn’t sound any better. The interesting thing about the status of the Palestinians is that you can draw many analogies from the status of black Americans two centuries ago. Despite the discrimination that still exists, blacks are true American citizens, unlike before. Why? Because the U.S. could not keep claiming to fight for and protect “liberty” when it deprived a portion of its people from that right. The same goes for Israel. We don’t need to kill Jews. Sooner or later, Israel will have to prove itself in the world as a “democracy” when it becomes under scrutiny for its opression against the Palestinians who live under their control. For now, Israel’s using money to cut any finger that points at it, thanks to the Israel lobby here in the US. But nothing lasts forever.
Posted by Nidalio | October 7, 2007, 12:54 pmIf you are against violence that is a good start.
The Palestinian problem is totally different than the African American problem. The African Americans were not occupied and did not demand to return to Africa or obtain an independent state in the US. Furthermore, they did not recieve support from any other African country and stage a guerilla war that mainly targeted civillians.
Israel is a democracy and does not have to prove anything to anybody. In all international rankings Israel is ranked among the most democratic countries and also as one of the most developed countries. You cannot deny that Israeli Arabs are freer, have more rights and are richer than the average Arab in all your delightful 22 countries.
Sooner or later, there will be a two state solution and everything will be fine, at least for the Israelis. I will let you get along with your Hamas pals. I am sure you will have a great time and you will have all the rights that Israeli Arabs take for granted.

Are you sure you’ve been to the Holocaust Museum in Washington?
I was there last summer and I distinctly remember large exhibitions on Roma and on metally handicapped. If you check out museum website, it talks about Roma and others who were murdered in extermination camps:

First of all, thank you for being honest and recognizing that Israel is an occupying force. While this fact is trivial to many, it’s not often admitted by Israelis.
Second, of course the Palestinian problem is different from the African-American one. However, the oppression and human right abuse both people experienced and still experience is very similar. What I was trying to get at is eventually the Palestinians will gain their basic human rights that Israel continues to deny them, just as the African-Americans gained those rights.
Third, your democracy is certainly not the same as that in the States, and AIPAC spends a shit load of money here in the US just to prove that it is. Thus, in a way, you do have to prove it to almost everyone

Yeah Nidalio, it’s a good start to be against violence.

Posted by Yasser | October 8, 2007, 11:24 amNidalio,
Israeli democracy is much better than the US one, hands down because we have true proportional voting. No gerrymandering possible and no lost votes of minorities. This really helps the Arabs.
Why do you keep confusing the Arabs in the occupied territories with Israeli citizens? They are occupied and are not Israeli citizens and therefore the Israeli democracy does not extend to them.
Very soon, Israel will not occupy them anymore and they will rule themselves, just like in Gaza. A solution that somehow you don’t cherish but is inevitable. The Palestinians will gain their rights by having their own country or countries. The train has left the station.
Yasser,
Why did I forget what I wrote? I am just happy that Nidalio does not believe in trying to kill me, unlike you. Give it your best shot. There are openings in the Islamic Jihad and in the Azadin el Qasam. The Tanzim is out of business for now. Do you want a recommendation letter? I can tell them you are great at cursing and really hate Israelis. On the other hand they may view you as a collaborator for living in the US so you better play your cards well. Oh, and will you manage to pray 5 times a day?
Posted by Anonymous | October 8, 2007, 3:17 pmOh snaps, Anon bigot/dipshit really hit me with some logic!
I’m good other stuff besides swearing, ask your mother.
Posted by Yasser | October 8, 2007, 4:49 pmYes, I know you are good at other things. You already mentioned that you are good at begging Israelis for permission. As they say, when you have a skill, perfect it. You can practice on me if you like.
Posted by Anonymous | October 8, 2007, 9:49 pmThat’s why I had your mom begging for my falafal balls! The trick was speaking polish though, it was difficult to understand her.
Posted by Yasser | October 9, 2007, 8:43 am3:17,
I’m not sure if you noticed, but you contradicted yourself. You just put Israel as an occupying force (which controls the lives of a people it doesn’t regard as its citizens) and as a democracy in one sentence. Controlling the lives of citizens and non-citizens leads to political and social inequality. If you look up the word “democracy” in a dictionary, you’ll find that regarding Israel as a democracy is a paradox.
As for the “solution” you refer to, we both know that it won’t work, since those “solutions” are always reached at Israel’s terms and not the terms of both the Israelis and Palestinians. Consider this scenario. You live with your family in a 4-bedroom house and suddenly I break into your house and force you and your family into the basement, then because I give you a “generous offer,” you’re back in one room and I have three. Then on top of that, I decide when you leave the house and when you can use the kitchen, and if you piss me off, I’ll cut off the water and electricity to your room any time. All on my terms! Would you accept that?
