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.

One world leader with the courage to state the obvious!
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
tutu should try and solve africas problems first israel only attacked as they were terribly provoked by missiles from gaza and not crackers
the jews of sa saved many blacks etc and deserve great credit for their fight against apartheid eg helen susman joe slovo arenstein are but a few
