UN Appoints Jew-Hater on a “Fact-Finding Mission” in Gaza

The United Nations (a.k.a. The Nations United Against Israel) has chosen Desmond Tutu, the Jew-hating Nobel laureate, to head their “fact-finding” mission to the Gaza Strip town of Beit Hanoun, the scene of an Israeli artillery barrage killed 19 civilians earlier this month. Of course, the UN only seems to get involved in Israeli/Palestinian issues when it has to do with Palestinians getting killed or injured - we can’t recall any time that the United Nations sent a fact-finding with regards to Palestinian terrorists.
So, why is Desmond Tutu not fit to be a fact-finder with regards to Israel and the Palestinians? Well, you can learn a lot about him by comments he has made in the past:

People are scared in this country [the US], to say wrong is wrong because the Jewish lobby is powerful - very powerful. Well, so what? For goodness sake, this is God’s world! We live in a moral universe. The apartheid government was very powerful, but today it no longer exists. Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Pinochet, Milosevic, and Idi Amin were all powerful, but in the end they bit the dust (Source:Monday April 29, 2002, The Guardian UK)

The Israeli daily Ha’aretz (April 29, 2002), reporting Tutu’s remarks at a recent conference in Boston, quoted him as saying: “Israel is like Hitler and apartheid”: “I’ve been deeply distressed in my visit to the Holy Land; it reminded me so much of what happened to us black people in South Africa.”

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,”(Jewish Telegraphic Agency Daily News Bulletin, Nov. 29, 1984)

Tutu “urged Israelis to forgive the Nazis for the Holocaust” (Jerusalem Post, Dec. 31, 1989), 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 anti-Semitic, tough luck,” and in response to questions about his anti-Jewish bias, Tutu replied, “My dentist’s name is Dr. Cohen.” (Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Response magazine, January 1990)

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.
