Desmond Tutu
Desmond Tutu was a renowned South African Anglican bishop and social rights activist who gained global fame for his staunch opposition to apartheid. As a key figure in the struggle for racial equality, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984. Tutu often drew parallels between the struggles of South Africans under apartheid and the plight of Palestinians, advocating for justice and human rights for all, and publicly supporting the BDS movement against Israel.
