More from Jimmy Carter
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.
But among those who believe the case should be re-opened are politicians who don't always agree with each other, ranging from former president, Jimmy Carter to conservative former Georgia congressman, Bob Barr.
I don't think the administration has ever picked up the ball, much less dropped it.
