Alan Dershowitz Calls Desmond Tutu 'Anti-Semite' and 'Bigot' After His Death

"I hope you don't mind if I do this," he began. "The world is mourning Bishop Tutu, who just died the other day. Can I remind the world that although he did some good things, a lot of good things on apartheid, the man was a rampant anti-Semite and bigot?"

Dershowitz went on to claim that Tutu had minimized the Holocaust and "compared Israel to Nazi Germany."

Dershowitz told Newsweek his remarks stemmed from Tutu's "criticism of Jews."

"He didn't talk about the Israel lobby, he talked about the Jewish lobby," Dershowitz said. "He minimized the suffering of Jews during the Holocaust. He said that getting killed in gas chambers was an easy death compared to apartheid. He said that Jews claimed a monopoly on the Holocaust. He demanded that Jews forgive the Nazis for killing them."

Tutu prompted an outcry after urging to pray for and forgive those responsible for Nazi atrocities after a visit to Jerusalem's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in 1989.

Tutu "encouraged others to have similar views and because he was so influential, he became the most influential anti-Semite of our time," Dershowitz went on.

If the left is all atwitter over a man/woman of the cloth, that’s a giant clue for me that he/she isn’t truly centered on God or Jesus.

“Tutu was a fraud.” 100%. Fraud is “wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial gain.” The freak wrongfully deceived others for personal gain. Proof: he promoted sin and vice. In other news, young people are learning about the good reasons for nuclear power.

Look at the living conditions of the average black South African today and ask yourself how much their station has improved since replacing white-run Apartheid with black-run Apartheid.

They wanted to be in charge of running the country and they got their wish. And look what a swell job they're doing.

Alan is right.

Let me add that Tutu was a Marxist posing as a clergyman.
