Call it “Jim Crow” then.

Or do we have to call it ‘Gemayel’ Crow?? Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.

” I hate the use of the word “Apartheid” in reference to this situation. That is simply not what it is.”

Call it “Jim Crow” then.

Well Andy quoted Carter speech at Brandeis where he said “Don’t take my word for it, guys - go to the West Bank and Gaza and see it all for yourselves.” The conditions that the Palestinians live under are the same as the conditions that the Blacks in South Africa lived under during Apartheid. The conditions are particularly atrocious in Gaza.

Mr. Carter, please do not apologize. We respect your so much, and you always tell the truth. Don’t let anyone badger you into changing your stance on Israel. We all agree with you.

I have to say that I usually agree with you 100%. On this though, I must object. I hate the use of the word “Apartheid” in reference to this situation. That is simply not what it is.

When he spoke at Brandeis, Mr. Carter issued a challenge: “Don’t take my word for it, guys - go to the West Bank and Gaza and see it all for yourselves.” If Lantos et al. aren’t willing to do this (preferably with a CNN camera crew tagging along), then they should shut up.
