Carter's Bottom Line for Middle East Peace

Ethics Daily has posted a story about reactions to former president Jimmy Carter's controversial new book "Palestine: Peace, Not Apartheid."

I have not had opportunity to read the book yet, but I certainly agree with Carter's bottom line:

"The bottom line is this," Carter wrote. "Peace will come to Israel and the Middle East only when the Israeli government is willing to comply with international law, with the Roadmap for Peace, with official American policy, with the wishes of a majority of its own citizens--and honor its own previous commitments--by accepting its legal borders. All Arab neighbors must pledge to honor Israel's right to live in peace under these conditions. The United States is squandering international prestige and goodwill and intensifying global anti-American terrorism by unofficially condoning or abetting the Israeli confiscation and colonization of Palestinian territories.
