For example, in a Boston speech several years ago he said, “Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin… and the apartheid government were powerful…a lie, injustice, oppression will never prevail in the world of this G-d…they bit the dust…an unjust Israeli government, however powerful, will fall in the world of this G-d.” Tutu went on to compare Israel to apartheid, saying “I’ve 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.” He also complained that “people are scared in this country [the U.S.] to say wrong is wrong because the Jewish lobby is very powerful;” and about the Jewish “arrogance of power” and stated that Zionism “has many parallels to racism.” Nor is his enmity limited to Jews and Israel, “I am not even anti-white, despite the madness of that group,” Tutu proudly proclaimed.
