It’s ok to be a beginner about what’s happening to Palestinians. But it’s never too late to do the right thing. My father, Desmond Tutu, wept when he visited Palestine. He never let an opportunity to speak up for Palestine go by. What’s happening today is beyond that inhumanity that brought my father to tears. It is beyond anything that happened even in apartheid South Africa. What can we do? What I particularly like about Bystanders No More is that they don’t tell us what to do. But they do say to us – as a tough friend would – Don’t be silent! As my father often said, “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”
