The letter St. Thomas got Tutus comments wrong, published Oct. 13, claims that South Africas Desmond Tutu did not compare Israel with Hitler and apartheid. Readers should be allowed to decide for themselves.
In the full transcript of Tutus speech in Boston several years ago, he said the following: Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin
and the apartheid government were powerful
a lie, injustice, oppression will never prevail in the world of this God
they bit the dust
an unjust Israeli government, however powerful, will fall in the world of this God.
Tutu went on to compare Israel to apartheid, saying Ive been deeply distressed in my visit to the Holy Land; it reminded me of so much of what happened to us black people in South Africa.
Nor is his enmity limited to Jews and Israel, I am not even anti-white, despite the madness of that group, Tutu proudly proclaimed.
