Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid by Jimmy Carter

---

I thought about writing a long piece on this but decided against it. Carter's analysis is both enriched and limited by his experience as President. Few Americans of his status will use such accurate language talking about the situation, but his belief in asymmetric disarming and that a solution must come from inside the system show how he still favors one side of the conflict.

Still: he does deserve an amount of credit for not hiding the truth of Israeli occupation cruelty, or talking around the subject. Nothing he says here isn't true but the Israeli government hated him for saying it.
