The forces of hatred and violence gaining power and influence everywhere. “Christian Icons of Propaganda – Sabeel and Desmond Tutu,” by Christine Williams, Gatestone Institute, March 29, 2015:
A virulent global campaign by a powerful Christian lobby is trying to influence the Church and use it to delegitimize Israel. The lobbying group is the Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center, with Nobel Prize Laureate and retired Anglican Bishop Desmond Tutu as its patron.
Tutu not only agreed to serve as Sabeel’s patron but also to “assist the Palestinian Christian organization in its outreach and development work with Christian Churches around the world.”
On its website, Sabeel refers to Israel in terms such as “oppressor,” “occupier,” “immoral,” a violator of Palestinian human rights and its founder, Naim Ateek, refers to Israel’s “crucifixion” of Palestinians:
“It only takes people of insight to see the hundreds of thousands of crosses throughout the land, Palestinian men, women, and children being crucified…. The Israeli government crucifixion system is operating daily.”
As a principal agent of the Sabeel lobby, Desmond Tutu’s words of indictment reference Israel as the “oppressor.”
Tutu knows hate first-hand from South African apartheid, but acutely damages his stature and credibility by unjustly exploiting the tragedy inflicted by the South African regime. He does this in a defamatory propaganda message permeating the Christian Church under liberation theology. He stated outright in an article: “I know firsthand that Israel has created an apartheid reality within its borders and through its occupation. The parallels to my own beloved South Africa are painfully stark indeed.” Meanwhile, Israel allows Arabs and Muslims full human rights in all areas of life, including as full members of Israel’s Parliament, the Knesset.
Liberation theology is a radical movement that originally developed in South America before making its way to South Africa. The movement was apparently created in response to poverty and ill-treatment of ordinary people. It was caricatured in the phrase, “If Jesus Christ were on Earth today, he would be a Marxist revolutionary.”
Liberation theology subsequently became influential in the Churches under South African apartheid. Black theologians, to answer the faith questions of the poor and oppressed, confronted the theology of the Christian status quo, which tended to align with the prevailing institutions of power. Hence, in 1985, the Kairos document was developed, which offered a necessary alternative to biblical and theological models. In essence, the Kairos document focused on the message of liberation theology by encouraging the reading and interpreting of the bible through the eyes of the poor.
To the theologians, the Kairos document was a challenge to the church to rise up against apartheid. The theologians deemed it to be “the moment of grace and opportunity, the favorable time in which God issues a challenge to decisive action.” They continued: “If this opportunity is missed, and allowed to pass by, the loss for the Church, for the Gospel and for all the people of South Africa will be immeasurable.”
What was once crafted as a just challenge to the Church in 1985 thus became warped into propaganda in 2009, when a new document, the Kairos Palestine , was written. Although based on the same “faith questions of the poor and oppressed” under the South African apartheid regime, this time the Palestinians were presented as the equivalently oppressed.
While Tutu et al discuss Israel the “oppressor,” Israel’s surrounding enemies seek to obliterate it in accordance with their genocidal charter. Given the silence of Tutu et al on that subject, apparently an agenda of genocide is not seen by them as an injustice.
Continuing to misuse South African black suffering as a launch pad, Tutu has also been forceful in his push for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel. He states that BDS helped to achieve South African democracy and that BDS will work toward ending “Israel’s decades long occupation of Palestinian territory and the unfair and prejudicial treatment of the Palestinian people by the Israeli government ruling over them” — despite the fact that Jews have lived in the area for nearly 4,000 years.
Tutu also states: “I have witnessed the systemic humiliation of Palestinian men, women and children by members of the Israeli security forces… their humiliation is familiar to all black South Africans who were corralled and harassed and insulted and assaulted by the security forces of the apartheid government.”
The troublesome truth, however, is that there is no apartheid in Israel. Black South African Reverend Kenneth Meshoe, founder and president of the African Christian Democratic Party and member of the South African parliament since 1994, indicates that under apartheid South Africa, blacks could not vote or hold high government positions; the races were strictly segregated at sports arenas, schools, hospitals, public transportation, public washrooms, benches in waiting rooms; and blacks had inferior medical care, hospitals, and education; they were forced to live in separate residential enclaves. Blacks also carried IDs to show their place of residence at all times, or they faced the penalty of being beaten or thrown in jail. In other words, blacks were criminalized for being black and severely restricted by state laws. Further, marriage was also outlawed between different races.
To brand Israel as an apartheid state, when none of these restrictions exist, is not only defamatory propaganda, but, according to Meshoe, trivializes the real suffering of blacks under apartheid. Meshoe has visited Israel many times, and says that he has never seen any evidence of apartheid. In his reference to the purely defensive so-called “apartheid” wall, Meshoe accurately calls it the “security” barrier. “It is the responsibility of every government to assure the safety of its citizens,” he says.
While Sabeel states as its mission support of the “oppressed” Palestinians of the “indigenous Church,” it never highlights the oppression and abuses of Palestinians by their own leadership, or the leadership of other countries hosting them such as Jordan or Lebanon. Tutu also disregards the abuses by Hamas, which uses its Palestinian citizens as human shields in its wars to obliterate Israel.
As the patron of Sabeel Center, Tutu also disregards the countless Christians being slaughtered in Muslim states; that black slaves are still being held in Muslim states such as Mauritania; the forcible taking of “infidel” slaves and sex slaves by Boko Haram and ISIS; the racist genocide in Darfur and the 10 million Muslims slaughtered by other Muslims since 1948.

Critics of Sabeel suggest that it actually seems to be a political organization promoting anti-Israel propaganda in Christian churches globally, while driving Church policy toward destroying Israel through BDS.
Sabeel also states that, “for many years the Palestinians rejected the establishment of the state of Israel because it was founded on the denial and violation of Palestinian rights.” Historically, however, it is the Jews — then Romans, then Christians, then Arabs then later the Turks — who lived on that land during nearly 4,000 years. Historically, it has always been the Arabs who rejected all Jewish rights, including, in the last century, their rejection of the UN partition plan. On the day of Israel’s founding in 1948, a group of Arab armies invaded Israel. The Palestinians also refused to make even a counter-offer to generous plans set forth by Israeli Prime Ministers Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert, both of which offered 97% of everything the Palestinians were demanding.
According to a brief by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, face-to-face surveys found that most Palestinians in east Jerusalem would prefer to become citizens of Israel rather than citizens of a new Palestinian state.
One must ask, then, why is it that Desmond Tutu, Sabeel and the anti-Semitic churches that support BDS are so tolerant of the persecution of Christians, global Islamist terrorism, the perpetual threat of Israel’s obliteration and the fact that Muslims have driven Christians out of Bethlehem, the very place of Jesus’s birth?
Bethlehem’s Christians accounted for over 85% of the population in 1948, and the number dwindled since then, to 12% in 2006. The disputed territories of the West Bank and Gaza have for years been administered by the Palestinian Authority (PA) and by an elected Hamas. Under these regimes, Christian Arabs have been victims of human rights abuses, including beatings, torture, kidnappings, forced marriages, sexual harassment, intimidation, land thefts, firebombing of churches, denial of employment and economic boycotts.
In addition, PA Leader Mahmoud Abbas has declared about a future Palestinian state: “In a final resolution, we would not see the presence of a single Israeli — civilian or soldier — on our lands.” And a declaration like that is not considered apartheid?
Friends of Sabeel conferences continue to take place several times annually in major North American cities, where calls for BDS are sounded, and where “overcoming Christian Zionism in a quest for Justice” in “seeking the peace of Jerusalem” is a major theme. These calumnies and misrepresentations of Israel have nothing to do with peace and even less to do with justice. They are even more unacceptable coming from church groups or a man of the cloth.

Spot On says
This so called “Christian” is a creep. He brings Christians back to the Medieval times when hatred of “certain” people ruled. In those days, people believed that a person could catch some horrible disease from an evil person. It was ok then to kill that evil person to avoid disease. Hence, odd acting people were often considered evil and burned at the stake. Anti-Semitism was also common for religious reasons in those days.
I had hoped that Christian people now were better educated and more able to use reason and get away from hatred. I guess not. Any anti-Semitic Christian should be ridiculed.
Joseph says
Any anti-Semitic Christian should be ridiculed.
ABSOLUTELY!!
I do it this way. I ask them, “So, you do believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of GOD”
When they say “Yes” I simply say, You do realize that Jesus IS a JEW?
Kodak moment.
Gray says
To say that Tutu ‘damages his stature and credibility’ assumes that the man had some in the first place. He doesn’t now, and never did, I suggest. Back when Mandela was still in prison, Tutu was the de facto leader of the ANC, an extreme leftist organisation dedicated to violence and murder. While Tutu pontificated, Mandela’s then wife was strutting though the land, leaving a trail of dead children in her wake – but all in a good cause, of course! The fact that Tutu was simultaneously the Anglican Bishop of Cape Town presented no problems whatsoever for that cleric’s Liberation Theology brand of Moral Philosophy. He was, and is, a truly horrible person, in the humble opinion of this practising Anglican.
Michael says
Gary, you’re spot on!
citycat says
Putting your own slant on the Bible
Could be regarded as egotism, especially it being politically involved.
Also, dividing infidels may help Islam
You that encourage division in the “free world” may regret that.
Islam will not make an exception of you cowards, it takes no prisoners in that regard.
You shall be converted along with the Jews, Christians, Buddhists and Hindus, what’s happened to the Druze?
Atheists, Agnostics, Satanists and Pagans will be killed.
Are the Red Indians still going?
And after what the muslims have done with all those Christians in recent years.
Where’s the light of understanding in Christianity?
TheCountess says
Yes Citycat, you have zeroed into modern day Christianity that no more represents ‘Christ-likeness’ than fly. The label, ‘Christian’ is bandied about, and both Jesus and God take the brunt of what ‘man’ does and not God. Too many profess, and few possess. Like the foolish virgins who expected to enter into and were denied with one reply, “I (meaning Jesus himself) never knew You”. For this very reason I no longer call myself a Christian, but have adopted the word, ‘Redeemed’ instead to separate myself from the professors. I know ‘in whom I have believed’, and He knows me, and I am content within this mind set.
The real Christian is busy about his Father’s business, and it all for the sake of souls. One either possesses real salvation, or they don’t. And if one does, then the goal is the salvation of others. That is the meaning of the word, ‘Christian’.
Custos Custodum says
While apartheid was a real evil, this does not mean that those who fought apartheid are not themselves evil for other reasons.
Tutu and many other leading representatives of “ecumenical” organizations, “peace” movement, Britain’s “Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament” and scores of other front groups throughout the Western world with motherhood-and-apple pie names were knowing agents for Soviet communist organizations aiming to destabilize Western society and, particularly, to CO-OPT CHRISTIANITY for seemingly benevolent but ultimately totalitarian aims.
Note that to totalitarians, Christianity itself is a much more dangerous threat at the ideological level than Western consumerism or even Western military superiority.
Tutu himself most likely was and is a full member of the South African Communist Party which also founded and controlled the ANC. The fellow travelers on the Nobel committee in Oslo knew they were voting for one of their own.
Huck Folder says
Just conjure up an image of darling DEsMONd as a ballerina.
Or imagine him in a sweaty embrace with the so-called ‘pope’ and the so called archbishops of canterbury.
dsinc says
Tutu is an idiot and wouldn’t know peace and human rights if it slapped him in the face. Although it has been debunked, this clown still talks about the Jenin massacre as if it really happened. I would give him a one way ticket to Gaza and see how long this “abd” lasts. What an embarrassment! A useful idiot being used by the genocidal BDS muslims taking control of South African universities.
Lia Wissing says
Arch, as a fellow Christian, I’m ashamed of the way you misread Scripture.
Ruth says
All this prodding of unity of all religion both legitimate, cultic and occultic religions is the effort of scheming power brokers. Little did they know, the occultic which is satanic will champion over legitimate, monotheistic religion and before the world recognizes the unrevokable consequences of the diabolic, further apocalytic events will overwhelm mankind. In all the tragedies to befall the world, G-D will preserve Israel to prove HIS Omnipresence with HIS Heritage. Remember HE is no respecter of man, and for HIS Heritage Israel, not even hell can repudiate HIS word of promise to Abraham.

Liberation theology has taken a section of the Christian Church into apostasy. It is sad to see someone of the stature of Desmond Tutu being mislead by liberation Theology especially a Christian leader from my country. He is a dearly loved person in this country and may he stay so. Naim Ateek is lying through his teeth. How many Christian Palestinians are there? 3000 or 5000? And he speaks of hundreds of thousands being crucified by the Israeli’s. And people believe him? Christians?? Israel is not an Apartheid state period. The wall is to stop Islamic maniacs from walking into Israel with the sole purpose of blowing people to bits by suicide missions. Are there any liberation theologians who can think for themselves who can see an understand this. If the Palestinians laid down their arms they would prosper. If Israel laid down her arms she would be destroyed to the last person. The Palestinians have very, very bad leaders. They sacrifice their own women and children by continually provoking Israel to retaliate. They teach their children hate and encourage suicide bombers, even children suicide bombers. What kind of monsters are their leaders. Sadly, Israel over reacts at times but the ultimate responsibility for the loss of life lies with the Palestinian leaders. Israel has her back to the wall with the whole Arab world itching to destroy her.
TheCountess says
This is by far one of the best statements in all the posts I have read thus far, coming from one who is involved, personally, on all sides of this issue. Thank you for posting. Send it everywhere you can. You are a spokesperson who really knows.
John Mustart South Africa. says
Thank you for your kind words Countess. God gave us everything via the Israeli people. We have been grafted into the True Vine and it is for us to be humble and realize that when all the gentiles have come home then all Israel (the remnant that is) will be saved. Romans 11 is very clear on this. As you will know, “unless we become like a children we will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven”. I like Psalm 131. God Bless.
xxxChurch100 says
Dear John , what is glaringly obvious to me is “man” cannot govern his own affairs , despite along time and many attempts to …… we just cannot do it !
We are fallen , broken and the environment and every thing in it verifies this as fact .
In ” the Garden” when ” we ” doubted the Word of the Creator God , and misplaced our allegiances and then installed ourselves as god , what then followed is a bloody history we see playing out everywhere ….. man against man , we cannot live with each other, we seemingly , hate each other … I often hate my neighbor … I am Christian, I am told to love him !! I struggle to !!! God should hate me but no, He loves me . The God of the Bible made a Covenant with His people to redeem them as you point out . Thankfully the God of the Bible will always forfill His promises …. Amen .
John Mustart South Africa. says
Dear xxxChurch100, You have said it well. Only when Christ returns will the Creation be restored to it’s full glory in Christ and we will receive our immortal bodies and sin will be no more. I am 68 which means that day is getting very close for me. I have asked God to grant me another 12 years at least from now so I will leave it to His gracious will. I might get more, only God knows. I just want to praise Him while I have breath and live for His Glory. Sin dogs us and makes it hard. But praise be to God in Christ Jesus that by His resurrection power we overcome sin. Bless you.
voegelinian says
Except for one thing: it’s naive of John Mustart to think that Tutu is “misled”. No: Tutu knows exactly what he’s doing — his Marxist part in the global revolution against the West.
John Mustart South Africa. says
He is misled in the spiritual sense, i.e. he is not listening to God on these issues (so I think) and instead may be following his own mind or he may be approaching things in a worldly way. But it is not for me to pass judgement on him. I simply prefer to be cautious and gentle with him. God will test each one of us to see if we be righteous through Christ in what we say or do. The Christian is called to reflect the love of Christ and not to judge one another. That is God’s business. I have been shocked at the venom thrown at Desmond Tutu. Even if (a big if) there is an element of truth in some of what has been said about him I am nevertheless shocked at the venom used in the attacks on his person. Judging by the way some people attack him I would say that judgement day will be comfortable for him and decidedly uncomfortable and in fact hellish for some of his attackers. In Mathew’s gospel Christ says we will be judged by what we say and of course write..
John Mustart South Africa. says
I would just like to clarify the number of Christians in Palestine. I got the decimal point in the wrong place.
According to Wikipedia of 2014 it was in 2014 as follows:
GAZA: 1 to 2.5% Numerically that is between 27310 and 68000 of a population of 2731052 for Gaza.
WEST BANK: .7% or 12714 of a population of 1816379 for the West Bank.
Hardly the hundreds of thousands as stated by Naim Ateek. However, numbers are not what counts. Who ever perscutes is answerable to God. There is injustice committed on all sides and God’s justice will be applied on the day of judgement to whoever is guilty of injustice. Jesus died for all therefore God will judge all according to each individual’s position regarding Christ. Those who by choice deny Christ will receive condemnation and those who accept and follow Christ will receive mercy and acceptance into God’s Kingdom. Can Christians support Islam if Islam’s stated aim is to annihilate Israel and for that matter according to the Koran, all Christians and all infidels. Light cannot mix with Darkness. Light dispels darkness and Jesus is the true light that came into the world to redeem mankind. Enough.
Ekbano says
Tutu is an example of laziness and expediancy. He wants to be loved at any cost. Just when you hope he finally has shut up or died he sticks his simpleminded intellect on display. He is a narccisist, and will wag his tail for anyone who tells him he is important and intelligent. He endorsed necklacing as justifiable, and even christian under the circumstances. He denies this today, but the footage of him declaring it from the steps of st George cathedral exsists, though very very hard to come by.
In my opinion Tutu is an evil, unintelligent, confused , venal old man who has no understanding nor experience of christianity on a personal level.
He chose the priesthood to earn a living without having to get dirty in the struggle, and has turned it into a money spinner. He wants to be important. And loved. And wealthy. But he is a tool in the hands of any who will pay his bills.
The man is a despicable fraud.
bogianen says
Totally agree.
Tutu repeatedly said that he entered the seminary because it was the easiest and surest way to get a free education. That’s his ‘Call from God’. He uses his cassock and the name of our Lord Jesus Christ just as a bullhorn for his racist nonsense, but his connection with Jesus is like that of a camel with an Inuit.
As for the Apartheid times, I am sure that most South-Africans, including Blacks, would happily go back there. Everything was managed smoothly, the rule of law was enforced, political corruption at very low levels and hospitals for Blacks far better than present hospitals for everybody. Not to talk about homicide, robbery and rape rates, which see nowadays South Africa at the top of all charts.
As Thomas J. Di Lorenzo, professor of economics at Loyola College, said on present-day, post-Apartheid (are we sure? can Apartheid only be vs. Blacks?) South-Africa
‘rampant black-on-white crime, racist labor laws that have created ‘The world’s most extreme affirmative action program’; the confiscation of private property; economic socialism; state-sponsored terrorism; and, most sickeningly, the idolization of the corrupt and murderous Zimbabwean dictator, Robert Mugabe. The Western media ignore all of this because of their ideological love affair with the communistic African National Congress and, frankly, their support for many of these same policies.’
voegelinian says
The Western media ignore all of this because of their ideological love affair with the communistic African National Congress and, frankly, their support for many of these same policies.’
More importantly the PC MC Mainstream West ignores this data of black African pathology because it threatens their paradigm whereby the only significant sociopolitical pathology must be white Western.
Dan says
“If Jesus were alive today he would be a Marxist Revolutionary.”
Well EVERY Marxist Revolutionary I know, if they didn’t actually commit murder, sure encouraged it in their minions.
Get back to me on Jesus’ slant on murder.
And I don’t mean that old, “Well the Bible is full of murder.” chestnut. Those are all examples of people NOT following what Jesus said.
The isn’t a single solitary example of Jesus telling his followers to kill, not even with the “Money changers in the temple,” which is far too often misinterpreted or taken out of context.
Tutu, I won’t even call him a Bishop, is one of those useful idiots of communism; just like John Kerry is, as was revealed in “Disinformation” by General Ion Pacepa.
I can’t remember, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Tutu was in the book.
Tu.
(Sorry. Couldn’t resist.)
voegelinian says
I wouldn’t call Tutu and Kerry “Useful Idiots” — they know exactly what they are doing — their part in the global revolution against the West.
voegelinian says
More specifically, I think it’s reasonable to say that individuals like Tutu and Kerry are precisely the Dastardly Leftist Elites which so many in the Counter-Jihad wildly allege are controlling the world. I agree with one thing: they do exist, and they do consciously work against the West. Where I disagree is that they are as numerous and powerful as to be actually directing an effective, crypto-totalitarian regime which the West is supposed to have already become. That scenario, in my estimation, has cut the cord with reality and is adrift in the la-la land of conspiracy theory and gnostic alienation from not only Western structures, but from the West itself.
Marco Elliott says
It was not for nothing that Desmond Tutu used often be called the “witchdoctor.”
dr andrew mchael says
When I was a student at the University of the Witwatersrand back in the early eighties, I attended a meeting chaired by Bishop Tutu, as he was known then. He gave a talk on the future of South Africa and during his talk he said that his biggest desire was to annihilate the white community in South Africa. He was then told by the ANC to rebuke this statement as it would affect the future of the ANC in negotiations.
A couple of years later Tutu won the Noble prize for peace. Awful man……..

Babs says
These poisonous wretches have also ensnared the naive and wrong-headed Quakers whose ecumenical accompaniment programme is hand and glove with them. Their behaviour brings disgrace onto Christianity in the world.
deja vu says
Babs: Their behaviour brings disgrace onto Christianity in the world.
From what I can gather, that isn’t possible – Quakers are not Christians as Biblically defined. Each individual seems to be able to define his beliefs as he sees fit, which leads to many ‘alternative’ views of the nature of Jesus Christ, the need for salvation and so on.
voegelinian says
You can thank Martin Luther for opening that Pandora’s Box of worms.
mortimer says
Friends of Sabeel can uphold their ill-founded fantasies only by ignoring a host of important facts.
First of all, the word ‘Israel’ or ‘Israelite’ appears dozens of times in the New Testament; the word ‘Palestine’, not once.
Arabs don’t trust their own leaders and would prefer Israel’s pluralism.
Many countries have successful multiculturalism without constant fighting. Take Islamism out of the equation and Israel could have a successful arrangement of cantons and become like Switzerland where each language group respects the areas of the others while sharing the federal parliament.
Edward says
“They are even more unacceptable coming from church groups or a man of the cloth.”
All anti-sematic Christian clergy should be defrocked!
Wolves in sheepskins are what they are!
Opinion: The Israeli’s conversion to Messianic Christianity would be a double edged sword for the Jews: Edge 1 Would bring much awaited glad tidings of the advent of the Redeemer to Israel. Edge 2 Would shut the mouths of errant wannabe christians.
This would be wishful thinking…..for the stumbling block for this not happening would the Jewish Liberals who think the same way as Satan’s proxy’s….the wolves!
However, I’m an affirmed believer in miracle’s!
mortimer says
BUY SODA STREAM
Why are there so many Arabs in Israel and so many who claim ‘Palestinian’ heritage? Because between 1870 and 1947, huge numbers of Arab job seekers came looking for jobs due to the prosperity brought by Jewish entrepreneurs who needed laborers.
Soda Stream is a continuation of this trend, hiring mostly ‘Palestinians’ as laborers. Jews are providing employment for many Arabs in the region.
This is a bad thing?
Arnsted says
I’ve heard this argument several times but I have never seen evidence of this, that Arabs migrated to Israel for jobs. If you could share some evidence, that would be helpful.

Mankind according to scientific research lives from more than a million years. Every individual person living today therefor has tens of thousands of anchestors the latter so fundamental for the Bantu tribes discovered by the Dutch in 1652 Jan van Riebeeck. Jericho dates from the 90th century BCE (11.000 years ago) and Hamurabi codex from 1900 BCE. All over Europe and in the Netherlands there are neolithic dolmens from 3100 BC. The Apartheid was a policy invented by the British who invented the first concentration camps where the murdered 27.000 Dutch in the second Boer war. The Dutch Hendrik French Verwoerd brought back Dutch-Afrikaans government over South Africa and broke with the British Commonwealth in 1964. Margareth Thatcher brought the gold and platinum mines back to Anglo Gold & Platinum 40 years later as exchange for the downfall of the Soviet Union in 1991. Since the communist like Umkhonto we Siswe murderer Nelson Mandela received control over Dutch Afrika South Africa has the highest yearly murder rate in the world until this day. Like Robert Mugabe in former Rhodesia The South African communists of Julius Malema wants a landgrab from the Dutch Afrikaans farmers.
The ANC ideology is based on an interpretation of Churchills Atlantic Charter and Roosevelts Four Freedoms demanding it should apply to the entire British empire. The Frank Chicane Kairos document and Belhar belydenis (confession) places the Bible under the Communist Manifesto.
Desmond Tutu and his marxist liberation theology are part of supersessionism, also called replacement theology or fulfillment theology, is a Christian theological view on the current status of the church in relation to the Jewish people and Judaism.
Historically, there were no Jews in Bronze Age Egypt (the setting of Exodus and, long before that, of the pyramids’ erection), because there were no Jews at all until the rise of the kingdom of Judah in the Iron Age. Israelites first appear in the archeological record on the Merneptah Stele from between 1208-3 BCE;
Rev. Bill Romansky says
Atheist communists such as these are neither representative of the Church nor Christians.
Tommo says
It was the Council of Churches that gave credence in allowing the terrorist ANC ‘freedom fighters’ (murders) to be armed by Soviet Russia and kill both black and white South Africans in their grab for power. The world Church movement also supported sanctions against South Africa even though they knew it would harm blacks first particularly in job losses. But as we have seen since the Black government has taken over, apartheid is still rife, blacks are still living in shanty towns and the country is living on handouts. But not a word from the Churches or the anti-apartheid movement.

Tutu is an idiot but still no match for our bottom feeding men of the cloth . He will have to spew forth another few thousand stupid lies to even approach Jackson and Sharpton . Is it any wonder people are turned off to religion ?
Kepha says
Dezzie Tutu sees the Israelis as white, Western settlers in colonized land; and will never forgive them for their quasi-alliance with the Boers when both started to become ostracized by the liberal West.
As for “liberation theology”, it is one more attempt to build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth by hiuman means, and as such is doomed to failure.

Maybe if the Palaatians don’t like it, they should get out of Israel. That land is given to the Jews. God gave it to THE JEWS
