Jimmy Carter, the former president of the United States: There is no doubt that within the occupied territories, Palestinian land, there is a horrendous example of apartheid: - the occupation of Palestinian land - the confiscation of the land that it does not belong to Israel - the building of settlements and the colonisation of that land - the connection of those isolated but multiple settlements The persecution of the Palestinians now in the occupied territories by the occupation forces is one of the worst examples of human right deprivation that I know. [Interviewer: Even worth than a place like Rwanda?] Yes, I think yes. Palestinians ... in their own territory: the occupying power, which is Israel, have taken away all the basic human rights of Palestinians, as was done in South Africa against the blacks. The basic cause of the conflict is the sustained occupation of other peoples land by the Israelis, and - this is a direct violation of United Nations’ resolutions - it is a direct violation of the commitments that leaders of Israel have made in the past #FreePalestine #FreeGaza #GazaUnderAttack
