Israel no longer has security forces patrolling Gaza, right?

The Palestinian territories now have their own government and security forces, right?

The Gaza Strip includes both an airport and seaport facilities, right?

It even includes a land border with Egypt, which is patrolled by Egyptian and Palestinian — but not Israeli — security forces, right?

The location named is even in the Gaza Strip, so the “fact-finding mission” doesn’t have to worry about crossing Israel to get to the West Bank, right?

Well then, why does the “fact-finding mission” even need Israeli travel permission to get to the place?

He was in Detroit some years back, made a speech laced with anti-Israel claims, and when asked why he was so hard on the Isaelis responded that “the Jews have suffered so we expect more from them.” This proves again Eric Hoffer’s statement that the only people in the world expected to ask like Christians are Jews. And I note his own people had suffered but far from asking more of them, he seemed to ask less.

In a Boston speech not long ago he compared the Jewish lobby to, among others, Hitler and Mussolini. Tutu has also been active in divestment campaigns. He has also been quoted as saying that Zionism has many parallels with racism.

So it may be that the Israelis are a bit doubtful about his commission coming up with anything they haven’t already decided on.
