IS ISRAEL AN APARTHEID STATE?
Apparently Nelson Mandela thinks so. In a recent letter to New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, Mandela lays out the case against Israel with unusual candour. Mandela’s words are now being quoted all over the world. Last month, former US president Jimmy Carter cited the letter in a speech at Brandeis University. And who’s going to argue with Madiba?
Unfortunately for Israel’s critics, the letter is a hoax. It is the creation of a man named Arjan El Fassed, who runs an anti-Israel website called The Electronic Intifada. El-Fassad has admitted that he made the whole thing up, but the Mandela letter has now entered the anti-Israel canon alongside countless other fictions. Yet, much like the Israel-apartheid comparison itself, it is completely spurious. }} more…

Unf**kingbelievable! Only the lying Arab mind could conceive of such propaganda and only the entire Western world naive media could spread such drivel without as much as even the least bit of confirming research.
Joel,
You don’t have to block expletives here. Let it fucking rip, man!
Jimmy Carter didn’t care whether this Nelson Mandela letter was genuine or not. He took the opportunity to use it to slam Israel once again. He loves doing this because he hates Jews and Israel. He loves Arabs and terrorist leaders because they line his pockets with money. He spends a lot of time trying to convince us he’s not an anti-Semite, but he spends more time actually being an anti-Semite.
I wish this worthless piece of shit ex-president would shut up and fade away soon. We’ve had all we can stand from his lame brain. Thousands of people are dead because of his 1970s (and later) foreign policy blunders, but he’s deep in denial and uses hammering Israel as his drug of choice to numb out the truth.
Carter has been a failure and enemy to his own country, but he has built a lot of habitats for humanity. I guess that makes up for the fact that he’s the FATHER OF TERRORISM and that most of our current terrorist problems can be traced to his past blunders.
Way to go, Jimmy.
