"We enthusiastically chose to become a colonial society, ignoring international treaties, expropriating lands, transferring settlers from Israel to the occupied territories, engaging in theft and finding justification for all these activities

[LaPastaIeria]

President Carter has frequently reiterated the point that his "use of 'apartheid' does not apply to circumstances within Israel."[102] Regarding the title of his book Carter has said:

"It's not Israel. The book has nothing to do with what's going on inside Israel which is a wonderful democracy, you know, where everyone has guaranteed equal rights and where, under the law, , Arabs and Jews who are Israelis have the same privileges about Israel.

[nappyweed111]

@jimiydoorshamelech oh yes absolutely, equal rights, for example the arab israeli who slept with a jewish israeli woman but told her he was jewish..& he was charged with rape..very wonderful democracy. And its kind of a ironic tale in Israel, boasting about democracy, but keeping 1.5 million palestinians under a state of apartheid and living in bantustands similar to South Africa, but saying "well hey their not part of our country, our wonderful democracy, we can violate their rights to no end!"

[chmarie12]

Passionately desiring to keep the occupied territories, we developed two judicial systems: one - progressive, liberal - in Israel; and the other - cruel, injurious - in the occupied territories. In effect, we established an apartheid...

(Michael Ben-Yair

[chmarie12]

"...the transfer of [Palestinian] Arab population from the area of the Jewish state does not serve only one aim--to diminish the Arab population. It also serves a second, no less important, aim which is to advocate land presently held and cultivated by the [Palestinian] Arabs and thus to release it for Jewish inhabitants." (Expulsion Of The Palestinians, p. 94-95) YOSEF WEITZ

[chmarie12]

Everybody has to move, run and grab as many hilltops as they can to enlarge the settlements because everything we take now will stay ours... Everything we don't grab will go to them." Ariel Sharon, Israeli Foreign Minister, addressing a meeting of militants from the extreme right-wing Tsomet Party, Agence France Presse, November 15, 1998.

[rssesq]

AIPAC really loves Jimmy Carter. lmao

You tell em Jimmy, its about time someone said something.

[Seek33]

And yet when such blatant discrimination, inequality and disfranchisement is described as "apartheid", Israel's supporters react with shocked outrage. It is hard to decide which is worse, their hypocrisy or their ignorance of facts on the ground.

[Seek33]

torture, detention without trial, land confiscation for alleged "security" purposes, collective punishment such as house demolition, and the destruction of thousands of olive trees, is so routine of Israel.

[kelisw]

well the Palestinians need to stop blowing up kids in pizza parlors and clubs and maybe Israel wont feel the need to be so aggressively defensive. they are surrounded by enemies on all sides. if Palestinians continue to use terrorist tactics then world support will not be on their side

[Seek33]

settlers travel on roads barred to the local population, the monstrous wall divides Palestinian villages and smallholdings, Israeli families in their hilltop settlements consume as much water in a month as a Palestinian family is permitted in a year.

[bassdomb]

I believe that "aggressively defensive" is an oxy-moron.

Just like most arguments in favor of Israel.

[carryokee]

Die Palestine!

[twentyjan]

it cant die if it does not exist can it ...

[YerGreatBlandini]

dude, if you get yo ass inverted by a suicide bomb, I think you will agree it exists and like a cocaroach must be crushed before it gets anymore outa hand

[chitchatkathy]

Hey yerGreatblandini,

I can tell you're a wuss just by reading your stupid comment and I never need to see your ugly face or be in the presence of your demented self. Hey, buddy, you just hate way too much? Should'nt you just keel over and die. Go read "Herzog" or something by Saul Bellow. Maybe you'll find out how totally screwed up you really are & BUZZ the HELL OFF , you filthy rat!!!

[sonofsam70]

you are so ignorant. You should learn the facts before yous start talking shit. I bet you are the kind of guy that jack-off thinking about he/she Ann Coulter.

[wklp9]

cant write a book with facts in it idiot asshole fucking liberal commie

[reflectivegoat]

I was thinking about buying the book tomorrow. What in the book is untrue, in your opinion?

[wklp9]

people that work for him are quitting 15 people i believe ,i wouldn't read anything he put out nobody in the news is saying anything positive about it,you tell me

[reflectivegoat]

I misunderstood. I thought you had read it.

[wklp9]

save your money this guy is a pain in the ass since he was president and contines to be one

[HarryUSA]

I am reading the book, it is a wonderful book, every American should read it to get a fair and balanced view of the conflict , we certainly can not offered to be on the wrong side of the conflict anymore, READ THE BOOK

[calaverasgrande]

It is important to distinguish the identity of zionism from Judaism. Not all Jews are zionist! Not all zionists are Jewish!

[sandrup]

Yes! Peaceful religion vs. territorial religion.

[pali4evr]

Damn straight "Palestine, Land for the Palestinians"

[robert7777777]

On example of a major inaccuracy (or simple naivity): In 1990, Carter met Arafat, who told him the PLO never advocated the annihilation of Israel and that it was the Zionists who invented the idea that the Palestinians wanted to drive the Jews into the sea. Carter cites this as if it were undeniable, when he could have referred to the PLO charter's call for Israel's destruction!!! Or listened to Arafat's recorded speeches, as translated!

[beverly555]

You are so good at using quotes, how about these. I will put as many as I can because of the limitations, but if you want more I will give you more. Ben-Gurian says defiantly, not apologizing, "We have come and stolen their country" and Sharon, "Everyone has to move and enlarge the settlements everything we take will stay ours."

[robert7777777]

The point is Carter is just politicing. While the Pal. Authority previously spoke about peace in English to Western audiences, they ran commercials calling children to come to "Paradise" and ran Seseme Street-like shows where children sing about blowing themselves up in the midst of Jews. Their message in Arabic was very different. Cartner has not only assisted in concealing this (or perhaps he just doesn't know??), but he actually ghost-wrote speeches for Arafat!!! That in itself says a lot.

[Zayoodee]

Pres.Carter is a great humanitarian..I hope more people read his book and wake up to the conflict thats driving the Middle East and American foreign policy in the area.Right now alot of injustice is happening to the Palestinians,Pres.Carter wants to end that.Whats soo bad about that?

[TorresD]

Jimmy Carter defys the tremendous economic and political clout of the Israeli Lobby AIPAC, in order

to speak Truth to Power.

[solsalida]

When Truman first recognized Israel, (took all of about 7 minutes to decide, he was rightly asked "what about the arabs", he said "what about the arabs their are no arabs in my constituancy" in other words they have no power here in the u.s. unlike the jews, That's why Carter said what he said and why every president fears the powerful jewish lobbyists.

"... I am opposed to an independent Palestinian state"

(Jimmy Carter, February 25, 1980).

the Soviet Union also used to exist in the 1980s.

circumstances have changed, smart people adapt.

[robert7777777]

"... I am opposed to an independent Palestinian state, because in my own

judgement and in the judgement of many leaders in the Middle East,

including Arab leaders, this would be a destabilizing factor in the

Middle East and would certainly not serve the United States

interests."

(Jimmy Carter, February 25, 1980).

[cultusstultus]

we can both agree, though, that there has been rather a lot of destabilizing factors in the middle east in the past 26 years. the soviet union isn't there anymore, sadaam is gone, egypt has been neutered, the PLO is barely recognizable. times change.

[HeavyHeaded]

Brave man Mr. Carter. For Americans, Palestinians are portrayed as wild, semi-human maniacs bent on killing Israelis. In reality, they are traumatized people, deprived of the most basic freedoms, and in need of peacemakers like Carter to fight on their behalf (God knows their leaders are unlikely to do it). Thank you Mr. Carter.

[CaptainJPUK]

A rarity - an honest assessment of the Palestine - Israel situation from the incredibly biased US political / media system.
