Stephen Lewis
The Stephen Lewis Rave
Let me ask you something, how often does a person get a chance to meet one of their heroes in person? And I don't mean a hero in the Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Robert DeNiro, Meryl Streep, Wayne Gretzky, or Pele vein either. I mean a real, inspirational, clearly-making-the-world-a-whole-lot-better sort of hero. Someone without whom many more people would be suffering or even dying. I'm talking about a hero like Stephen Lewis.
Dugard Speaks Some Truth
Like Stephen Lewis speaking some truth about the HIV/AIDS catastrophe in Africa, John Dugard, U.N. human rights "special rapporteur", doesn't shy away from telling it like it is when it comes to the Israeli treatment, and illegal collective punishment, of the Palestinians... even when it's clearly something some (i.e. Israel and America) do not want to hear. Dugard may not have experienced it himself, but he certainly knows mistreatment of one group by another when he sees it, he is from South Africa after all.
