CARTER DESCRIBES ISRAEL AS APARTHEID SYSTEM JENNIFER SIEGEL, FORWARD - As Republicans step up their efforts to paint Democrats as increasingly hostile toward Israel, former President Jimmy Carter is releasing a book on the Middle East, titled "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid." Judging from an advance review manuscript of the new work, published by Simon & Schuster and set for release November 14, Carter places the bulk of the blame on Israel for its continuing conflict with the Palestinians. . . Israel's current policy in the territories, Carter writes in the book's summary, is "a system of apartheid, with two peoples occupying the same land but completely separated from each other, with Israelis totally dominant and suppressing violence by depriving Palestinians of their basic human rights." In a separate passage in the advance draft, the former president stated that "Israel's continued control and colonization of Palestinian land have been the primary obstacles to a comprehensive peace agreement in the Holy Land." In addition, Carter takes what is being interpreted by some critics as a swipe at the pro-Israel lobby. "Because of powerful political, economic, and religious forces in the United States, Israeli government decisions are rarely questioned or condemned," the former president writes. forward.com with-%E2%80%98apartheid%E2%80%99-tag/
