Hurricane Carter
Former President Jimmy Carter's new book, Palestine Peace Not Apartheid,
provoked an uproar even before its publication. The reason for the controversy
was the book's title more than its content, for it seemed to suggest that the
avatar of democracy in the Middle East may be on its way to creating a political
order that resembles South Africa's apartheid model of discrimination and repression,
albeit on ethnic-religious rather than racial grounds.

Words Even an Ex-President Can't Say in America: The Media Lynching of Jimmy Carter
It seems Israel's "supporters" have conscripted me in their lynching of Jimmy
Carter. Count me out. True, the historical part of Carter's book, Palestine
Peace Not Apartheid, contains errors in that it repeats standard Israeli propaganda.
However, Carter's analysis of the impasse in the "peace process" as well as his
description of Israeli policy in the West Bank is accurate - and, frankly,
that's all that matters.

Israel's new plan: A land grab
New Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has announced that Israel will take unilateral
steps to establish its own geographical boundaries during the next four years
of his administration. His plan, as described during the recent Israeli
election and the formation of a new governing coalition, would take about
half of the Palestinian West Bank and encapsulate the urban areas within
a huge concrete wall and the more rural parts of Palestine within a high
fence. The barrier is not located on the internationally recognized boundary
between Israel and Palestine, but entirely within and deeply penetrating the
occupied territories.

Jimmy Carter: Punishing the innocent is a crime
Innocent Palestinian people are being treated like animals, with the presumption
that they are guilty of some crime. Because they voted for candidates who are
members of Hamas, the United States government has become the driving force behind
an apparently effective scheme of depriving the general public of income, access
to the outside world and the necessities of life.

Apartheid in the Holy Land
In our struggle against apartheid, the great supporters were Jewish people.
They almost instinctively had to be on the side of the disenfranchised, of
the voiceless ones, fighting injustice, oppression and evil. I have continued
to feel strongly with the Jews. I am patron of a Holocaust centre in South
Africa. I believe Israel has a right to secure borders.
