Note that Desmond Tutu's description of how Israel's apartheid regime will "bite the dust" is almost indistinguishable from Ahmedinajad's prediction that what he calls "the occupying regime" will disappear "from the arena of times".People are scared in this country [the US], to say wrong is wrong because the Jewish lobby is powerful - very powerful. Well, so what? For goodness sake, this is God's world! We live in a moral universe. The apartheid government was very powerful, but today it no longer exists. Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Pinochet, Milosevic, and Idi Amin were all powerful, but in the end they bit the dust.
Injustice and oppression will never prevail. Those who are powerful have to remember the litmus test that God gives to the powerful: what is your treatment of the poor, the hungry, the voiceless? And on the basis of that, God passes judgment.

Another distinction is that while Tutu still holds out hope for a two-state solution, Ahmedinajad, like many others (including me) believes that Israel's settlements policies have destroyed this option, as they were intended to do. The only way forward is to create a democratic, secular state for all Palestinians: Jewish, Muslim and Christian. As long as they give up all claims for supremacy and domination by their group of the others.

You wouldn't like them tho.
