10-08-06 - 'He Was Like a Brother To Me' - On the 25th anniversary of Anwar Sadat's assassination, Jimmy Carter discusses the Mideast conflict. Looking to the present day, I know you've been very critical of the wall that Israel is building on the West Bank. The wall and the Jordan River actually completely circles what is left of the West Bank. Do you see that as a sign of "apartheid" to come? It's a sign of division, obviously, between the two. I make it clear in my book that when I refer to apartheid I'm not talking about racism. But it is certainly a division and there is no place where the wall separates Palestinians from Israelis-the wall in its entirety separates Palestinians from other Palestinians. It's completely within the West Bank, and sometimes miles and miles within the West Bank. I've got an entire chapter in my forthcoming book describing the wall in detail, and in fact the cover of the book will be a picture of the wall.
Look for Former President Carter's forthcoming book entitled "Palestine Peace Not Apartheid" (you can pre-order at Amazon by clicking that link).

10-08-06 - Analysis: Watch the Syrians, very carefully A credible Israeli threat to heavily bomb Damascus may help cool the escalating war-like atmosphere created by the young Ba'athist president, and thereby deter a spree of violence.
