"Tutu's mission for Mideast questioned" October 30, 2007

AS ONE of many Americans of all faiths who protested South African apartheid prior to the collapse of white rule in that country, I am both saddened and outraged by Archbishop Desmond Tutu's grossly inaccurate application of the apartheid label to Israel ("Tutu urges Jews to challenge oppression of Palestinians," City & Region, Oct. 28).

Under the apartheid system in South Africa, a small minority maintained a monopoly over all political and economic power, and used its legal system to oppress the majority.

In contrast, Israel is a democracy, in which the rights of religious, ethnic, and sexual orientation minorities are protected under the law.

An independent Palestinian state, peacefully coexisting with Israel, cannot be achieved by efforts to demonize and marginalize Israel through the use of misleading labels.

Instead, Tutu and other supporters of Palestinian independence should focus on supporting a negotiated resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - a goal that is supported by the government of Israel and the Palestinian Authority, and by the overwhelming majority of Jewish and Arab Israeli citizens and Palestinians, but that is undermined by extremists who target Israeli civilians with rockets from Gaza and Lebanon.

Take a read of
this, Brad!

I WAS offended by Desmond Tutu's coming to the United States and calling on American Jews to abandon one of the core elements of our faith, the support for a secure Jewish state in Israel.

I may think that the Anglican church in Africa is acting wickedly by stigmatizing gays and fomenting a split among American Episcopalians, but it would never occur to me to travel to Africa and urge them to change their views to conform to mine.
