You wrote " If he has offended some by using the words "Israel" and "apartheid" in the same sentence, that may be a misrepresentation to anyone who has lived under or witnessed white rule in South Africa, but former President Jimmy Carter, a Nobel peace prize winner, has made the same error." Scott your not a very moral person are you. 4.5 million U.N. registered Palestinian refugees not being allowed to return to israel is about as evil as you can get, but you think its an error for anyone to compare ethnic cleansing to apartheid. Its just as bad, if not worse. Scott, I hope one day your kicked out of your homeland and have your property taken from you. I wonder if you will still belittle ethnic cleansing, still. Scott Macleod your really twisted. You wrote

And yes, Arafat won a Nobel Peace Prize. Arafat and Jimmy Carter have much in common. Clinton's friendship with Arafat took a big hit after the failure of Camp David. Intifada II happened next. The "Palestinians" will be deeply disappointed in Obama. They may love him now, but they really loved Clinton. And we got Intifada II. Yes, Arafat was Clinton's friend.

They also reference Israel as practicing Apartheid(both in terms of the occupation as well as the domestic treatment of non Jews). Oh yeah, and also South Africans like Chris Brown (who's brother was killed by White South Africans), Winnie Mandela, Rev Eddie Makue (current General Secretary of the South African Council of Churches), John Dugard (UN Commission of Human Rights from South Africa), ANC Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe, and 34 South African activists in a public letter .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_Israeli_apartheid#Use_of_apartheid_analogy_by_South_Africans What a bunch of dumb South Africans. They lived through Apartheid but obviously are making the same misrepresentation/error that Khalidi did. I can only say "Thank Heavens" for Mr. McLeod who assuredly corrects these idiots! I only regret that he didn't publically expose their errors as well. You should add Bishop Desmond Tutu and Arun Ghandi (Mohandas' grandson who grew up in South Africa) to the error list.

Because he has the intelligence and decency to be able to discuss and befriend people with different points of views than his own makes him smarter and more qualified to lead the United States of America.
