Following Israeli’s atrocious assault on the people of Palestine and decades long apartheid, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu has called upon the world to boycott Israel.
In a special article for Haaretz, he writes:
“Those who continue to do business with Israel, who contribute to a sense of “normalcy” in Israeli society, are doing the people of Israel and Palestine a disservice. They are contributing to the perpetuation of a profoundly unjust status quo.
“Those who contribute to Israel’s temporary isolation are saying that Israelis and Palestinians are equally entitled to dignity and peace.
“Ultimately, events in Gaza over the past month or so are going to test who believes in the worth of human beings.
“It is becoming more and more clear that politicians and diplomats are failing to come up with answers, and that responsibility for brokering a sustainable solution to the crisis in the Holy Land rests with civil society and the people of Israel and Palestine themselves.”
