YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSupport our work
Former President Jimmy Carter died Sunday at his home in Plains, Georgia, at 100 years old. The 39th president served a single, tumultuous term in the White House from 1977 to 1981. As we begin our look at his life and legacy, we hear Carter's own words in a _Democracy Now!_ interview discussing his book _Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid_. Carter criticized Israel's policies in the West Bank and Gaza, and argued Israel's settlements in the Occupied Territories were the main barrier to peace. "Americans don't want to know and many Israelis don't want to know what is going on inside Palestine. It's a terrible human rights persecution that far transcends what any outsider would imagine," said Carter in 2007. "And there are powerful political forces in America that prevent any objective analysis of the problem in the Holy Land."
