CARTER: ISRAEL WORSE THAN SOUTH AFRICA

THAT'S RIGHT, ISRAEL ISN'T JUST AN APARTHEID STATE. IT'S WORSE.

Jimmy Carter: Israel's 'apartheid' policies worse than South Africa's (Haaretz)
Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter said in remarks broadcast Monday that Israeli policy in the West Bank represented instances of apartheid worse even that those that once held sway in South Africa.

Carter's comments were broadcast on Israel Radio, which played a tape of an interview with the ex-president, but did not specify to whom Carter was speaking. But has made similar remarks in recent interviews, such as one to CBC television.

"When Israel does occupy this territory deep within the West Bank, and connects the 200-or-so settlements with each other, with a road, and then prohibits the Palestinians from using that road, or in many cases even crossing the road, this perpetrates even worse instances of apartness, or apartheid, than we witnessed even in South Africa."
