MSNBC: Joe Scarborough uses C-Span caller to smear Carter
In a most cowardly fashion, Joe Scarborough of Scarborough Country on MSNBC, used a hostile caller into C-SPAN during an appearance by former President Jimmy Carter to call him an anti-Semite. Not only did he use a lame caller do do his dirty work but he did not even have the decency to run Carter’s response. To add insult to injury, he then interviewed David Bernstein, director of the Washington office of the American Jewish Committee. There was no one to represent Carter, the Palestinians, or the other side of a very divisive issue.
Not only is Scarborough an MSNBC host and personality, he is a former Congressman. His ignorance on the issue of Palestine / Israel is astounding. During the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, he was at one point raving about the fact that Israel had returned the entire West Bank and got nothing but suicide bombers and rockets in return.
Maybe it’s because he was a Congressman.
Note Bernstien dismisses Carter’s use of the apartheid analogy as a “publicity stunt.” Yet Ha’aretz, Israel’s most respected newspaper: wrote in an Sept. 13 editorial,
…the apartheid regime in the territories remains intact; millions of Palestinians are living without rights, freedom of movement or a livelihood, under the yoke of ongoing Israeli occupation…

Without a doubt, http://www.nkusa.org has the absolute solution to the Israeli/Palestinian problem.
President Jimmy Carter has a compromise; however, that’s the next best thing to a real solution.
Either one would virtually eliminate all the ‘wars and rumors of war’ tales. Too bad because, Israel will not accept neither. I.e., on-going more land-grab policy (goal) regardless of the cost and/or consequences.
