re carter and apartheid the article should mention that he was not plowing new ground more than one jewish israeli historian real historians really preceded him in the discovery that israel acts just like south africa did i was surprised to see the indignation expressed when carter's book was first released i thought then and still do that it was feigned indignation for press consumption only without knowing who expressed their hurt feelings i bet i can guess as to who at least a half dozen of the usual suspects are sight unseen i repeat and the article should at least mention once that equating noticing that israel and its former staunch ally south africa was not totally new with carter heck we my friends family and i made the obvious observation years before the historians decades before carter at least publically
