Jimmy Carter: “We've strengthened NATO.”

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

I think that sends a clear signal to Maliki that we won't be there indefinitely and my hope is that they'll be a commitment by the world community including the controversial nations of Syria and Iran.

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

I fear for our democracy.
