Tutu says Gaza attacks are like war crimes

In a statement that was given yesterday Archbishop Desmond Tutu said that in the context of total aerial supremacy, in which one side in a conflict deploys lethal aircraft against opponents with no means of defending themselves, the bombardment bears all the hallmarks of war crimes.

He said that the attacks, in revenge for rockets fired by the Palestinians, would not contribute to the security of Israel.

He also said that it was blight not only on the Middle East, but on the entire world and particularly world leaders who have consistently failed the people of Palestine and Israel over the past 60 years.

It was also reported that more than 270 people were killed in the attacks on Saturday.

We should also take into consideration that the jews of Israel supported the white South African terrorist prime minister John Voster to kill and suppress the blacks in South Africa,and the USA and UK both were also were in favour of this white terrorist Prime Minister of South Africa to continue with his evil nazi type system of Apartheid
