Jimmy Carter on Palestinians Under Occupation
[By Jimmy Carter, National Public Radio, December 14, 2006]
"I have spent a lot of time in Palestine in recent years. ...
The Palestinians have had their own land, first of all,
occupied and then confiscated and then colonized. They’ve
been excluded from their own gardens and fields, and
pastures and churches. They have been severely restrained in
their movements. They have to have different kinds of passes
to go through different checkpoints inside their own lands
on their own roads. The Israelis have built more than 200
settlements inside Palestine.They connect these settlements
with very nice roads for the Israeli settlers, and then
superhighways and so forth going into Jerusalem. Quite often
the Palestinians are prevented from even riding on those
roads that have been built in their own territory. So this
has been in many ways worse than it was in South Africa."
