[WCUSP] Carter's book

[yvonne simmons]

 Although I have not read all the text I shall copy
from page 215 of the summary. All in all there's
chronoleogy of events from 1900 BC and his visits and
observations and a recent chonology of the years of
peace negotiations over the last decades. Carter
writes respectfully about all religions and peoples
involved. Easy to read and large lettering.

* A system of apartheid, with two peoples occupying
the same land but completely separated from each
other, with Israelis totally dominant and suppressing
violence by depriving Palestinians of their basic
human rights. This is the policy now being followed,
although many citizens of Israel deride the racist
connotation of prescribing permanent second-class
status for the Palestinians. As one prominent Israeli
stated, " I am afraid that we are moving toward a
government like that of South Africa, with a dual
society of Jewish rulers and Arab subjects with few
rights of citizenship. The West Bank is not worth it."
 An unacceptable modification of this choice, now
being proposed, is the taking of substantial
proportions of the occupied territory, with the
remaining Palestinians completely surrounded by walls,
fences, and Israeli checkpoints, living as prisoners
within the small portion of land left to them.

 Hoping for a fair future for all Yvonne
