Is Zionism racism? I would say yes. It's a policy that to me looks like it has very many parallels with racism. The effect is the same. Whether you call it that or not is in a sense irrelevant.

More quotes by Desmond Tutu
Nothing is too much trouble for Love.
Desmond Tutu
Children are a wonderful gift. They have an extraordinary capacity to see into the heart of things and to expose sham and humbug for what they are.
Desmond Tutu
There are very good Christians who are compassionate and caring. And there are very bad Christians. You can say that about Islam, about Hinduism, about any faith. That is why I was saying that it was not the faith per se but the adherent. People will use their religion to justify virtually anything.
Desmond Tutu
Dream of a world where children can laugh and play and not be blown up by a mine they thought was a toy.
Desmond Tutu
If we have loved well while we were alive, there is life after death here-our love will go on for generations.
Desmond Tutu
I think that most of us would say that ubuntu basically speaks about what it means to be human.
Desmond Tutu
We are living in an historic moment. We are each called to take part in a great transformation. Our survival as a species is threatened by global warming, economic meltdown, and an ever-increasing gap between rich and poor. Yet these threats offer an opportunity to awaken as an interconnected and beloved community.
Desmond Tutu
Laugh more. Don't forget to enjoy the blessings that God bestows on this beautiful planet.
Desmond Tutu
Our maturity will be judged by how well we are able to agree to disagree and yet continue to love one another, to care for one another, and cherish one another and seek the greater good of the other.
Desmond Tutu
God hopes that we are going to love God back.
Desmond Tutu
When we look at a conflict, it is so often rooted in injustice, prejudice, competition for resources, poverty, poor governance and corruption.
Desmond Tutu
I believe in MasterPeace. World leaders cannot push back armed conflict alone. We need the whole world to make this happen.
Desmond Tutu
It is for real that injustice and oppression will not have the last word. There was a time when Hitler looked like he was going to vanquish all of Europe, and where is he now?
Desmond Tutu
Most of the leading figures of the Old Testament were polygamists. Abraham had several wives and concubines. If they wanted, they could say this was approved in the Bible.
Desmond Tutu
We have a planet that is at risk, where resources don't have a permanent life. We are going to have to make the decision: are we going to survive or are we waiting for our extinction? One day we will wake up and find people are fighting not for oil but water.
Desmond Tutu
I'm so, so thrilled that [Pope Francis] is there at this crucial moment in the history of our world.
Desmond Tutu
In South Africa, we could not have achieved our freedom and just peace without the help of people around the world, who through the use of non-violent means, such as boycotts and divestment, encouraged their governments and other corporate actors to reverse decades-long support for the Apartheid regime.
Desmond Tutu
God is not a diversion.
Desmond Tutu
We are going to have to be very careful that we give people the hope that freedom is actually better than unfreedom.
Desmond Tutu
I've often been a little concerned by people who say they are color-blind, people who claim, in some ways, not to be aware of race, and I hope that those who will be looking for a vision of the future will be a little more honest, and say race actually does matter.
Desmond Tutu
