Journal 83 - Carter’s book about the Palestinian - Israel conflict
Jimmy Carter, the former American president, has written a new book. Its title is: Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, 2006.
Carter’s book caused a big controversy in the USA. Many Jews consider that Carter is an anti-Semite and his intention is to hurt Jewish people. On the other side, many Americans answered that, “Israel could not continue to discriminate against its Palestinian-Israeli citizens nor violate international rights in the occupied territories”.
I am not a politician, but I consider that the life of Palestinians is almost intolerable right now. Israeli politics is contrary to the principles of the Jewish religion. I think that if Israel will not give up Gaza and remove Jewish settlers from this territory, peace will not come to this region. The English Prime Minister, Tony Blair, stated that 70% of the conflicts in the world can be traced back to the Israeli – Palestinian conflict.
I borrowed Carter’s book from the library at East Meadow, yesterday. It is a nice edition – a good quality paper and the big letters. So pity that this edition doesn’t contain pictures. The book consists of 266 pages.

The idea that Jimmy Carter is an anti-Semite is just ridiculous. He spent much of his presidency, and has continued to spend his retirement, trying to find a peaceful reconciliation to the problems between Israel and Palestine. I find him to be an inspirational human being.
