Both sides acting like children, Desmond Tutu says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNobel peace laureate Desmond Tutu lashes out at Israeli and Palestinian leaders for behaving “like children,” seeking to blame each other for the latest bloody conflagration in the long-running conflict.
“Once again, the people of Israel and Palestine are embroiled in a deadly contest of tit-for-tat violence in which there can never be victors, only losers,” the South African cleric says in a statement.
“Like children following a playground dust-up, political and religious leaders fall over each other, not to make peace, but to proclaim: It wasn’t us, they started it.”
“The world is looking to Israelis and Palestinians to be bigger than themselves; to act now, before any more children are harmed,” says Tutu.
