“Palestine, Peace Not Apartheid” Jimmy Carter
Jimmy Carter bought himself a lot of criticism with this book but it is a story that has to be told. While peace between Israel and Palestine is critical, Carter emphasizes that it must bring justice and dignity to the Palestinians and it must be a lawful and fair peace. Carter has great empathy for the plight of the Palestinians and he is very critical of Israel’s violation of U.N. resolutions, U.S. Policy and the international “roadmap”. Israel’s continued occupation and settlement of land and the oppression of the Palestinians and the “wall” are very troubling. Apparently, our present administration does not feel as strongly. It took a lot of courage for Carter to write this; I applaud him for it.
