A few months ago, I commented on Carter's book, "Peace, not Apartheid", by saying that he seemed to depict the situation accurately. My assessment was supported by writings of Hannan Ashrawi that depict the Palestinian situation as apartheid.
Roger Cohen writes today about the horrible situation that the World Bank recently reported that Palestine represents a "shattered economic space".
While no one minimizes the violence originating from Hamas, the scene at the moment leaves no hope for progress. There is no way that the Palestinians can develop their economy to support the population.
Given the current situation, there is only tragedy! Everyone is losing in Palestine and Israel will not gain their long-sought security!
