Jimmy Carter: “results of the President's physical examination”

Inside Israel, there's no semblance of apartheid. It's a wonderful democracy, with everyone treated the same.

But inside Palestine, outside of Israel, where the Israelis occupying forces are there, the persecution and deprivation of the Palestinians is horrendous.

I recognize that Israel is a wonderful democracy with freedom of speech and equality of treatment under the law between Arab Israelis and Jewish Israelis.

This is a very wise and very courageous thing for President Obama to do. And in my opinion, is long overdue.
