Tutu is Wrong
By Micah Halpern

Friday September 19, 2008

I've Been Thinking:

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a Noble Prize recipient, held gave a press conference yesterday.

Pay attention to what he said:
"I think the West, quite rightly, is feeling contrite, penitent for its awful connivance with the Holocaust."
"Now when you are contrite, when you are penitent, you are then ready to make amends, and we call that penance. The West is penitent, the penance is being paid by the Palestinians."
And then Tutu said that the world does not criticize Israel. "That silence begets complicity."

Tutu's message is clear, it is also wrong.
Tutu lifted a page from the Yasser Arafat handbook of historical injustice.
I do not think there is a more criticized country in the world than Israel. Just count the number of UN proposals and resolutions and discussions about Israel.

The way to help the Palestinians is to help them realize the importance of signing a peace treaty with Israel.
The very first step in the process is clamping down on Hamas and other terrorist groups.
Desmond Tutu is way off base here.
