6. Desmond Tutu?
Edited on Tue Jan-04-05 04:06 AM by Annus Horribilis
Here are some nice quotes from Mr. Tutu about The (Evil) Jews:

"People are scared in this country (the US), to say wrong is wrong because the Jewish lobby is powerful - very powerful. Well, so what?"

Tutu accused Jews of exhibiting "an arrogance--the arrogance of power because Jews are a powerful lobby in this land and all kinds of people woo their support."

During his 1989 visit to Israel, Tutu "urged Israelis to forgive the Nazis for the Holocaust," a statement which the Simon Wiesenthal Center called "a gratuitous insult to Jews and victims of Nazism everywhere." During the visit, Tutu remarked "If I'm accused of being antisemitic, tough luck," and in response to questions about his anti-Jewish bias, Tutu replied, "My dentist's name is Dr. Cohen."

Tutu has claimed that Zionism has "very many parallels with racism."

Speaking in a Connecticut church in 1984, Tutu said that "the Jews thought they had a monopoly on God; Jesus was angry that they could shut out other human beings." In the same speech, he compared the features of the ancient Holy Temple in Jerusalem to the features of the apartheid system in South Africa.

Where have I heard this kind of stuff before?
