I have question about Tutu and South Africa.
Was South Africa better off BT (Before Tutu)?
Or is South Africa better off now, AT?
Here I was thinking that I am one of very few who feel this way.
He supported the BDS movement? A really bad bunch of people.
South Africa is now the Baltimore of Cape Horn.
What replaced it seems demonstrably worse.
At Reagan’s funeral, George H Bush related a story. He asked Reagan how a meeting with Tu Tu went. Reagan responded So so.
I remember the late Jerry Falwell visiting Tutu back in the day. He returned to announce he found Tutu to be a fraud.
Tutu was a proponent of the tire necklace.
I am not taking a position on His Grace. I am taking a position on this man's idiocy. First, the Jews are not the only Semitic people in the world and so philo-Semitism is not a distinguishing thing. Second, the man's mind swings on a hinge. It's either pro-Jewish or anti-Jewish, and there is a lot else at play in the world.
That Tutu was anti-Semitic is not a good look if that is true.
And I support Israel's right to democratic self-determination and right to self-defense. Strongly.
But I am not going to read what is written by a person who engages in one-dimensional reasoning when the world plays 17 degree chess.
A guy who was second in importance only to Nelson Mandela in the destruction of a functioning first world country ON the African continent WITH a large majority of black Africans into the disaster it is today (a "warrior against one of the great evils of his time") doesn't deserve to be disparaged for ruining his country, but rather for his views on foreign policy?
I always though Tutu was a wolf in clerics clothing.
