Not surprising

It isn't at all startling that a political hack like Nancy Pelosi would cravenly cater to the powerful Zionist machine here in the USA, but I was a little surprised at the viciousness of her attack on President Carter, who is, after all, the only President alive who has published 20 books and received the Nobel peace prize, inter a whole lot alia, at all, much less doing it mostly since leaving office. "Palestine: Peace, not Apartheid" is a provocative title, even as the author himself carefully parses it as he promotes it, and I'm sure Jimmy is not surprised at all.

Technically, I suppose, what Pelosi reportedly said is very likely true: I agree that "the Jewish people" would probably "never" support an apartheid state of the sort Israel has established in its own "legal" territory and in the illegally occupied Palestinian territories. But this isn't about the Jewish people -- as if Pelosi didn't know -- but about a fundamentalist political action coalition, Zionism, that indeed does support an apartheid state. That's only natural, because pace John Bolton and the entire Zionist complex, Zionism is, as the General Assembly determined before America gave it the Guantanamo treatment, Zionism is a form of racism.
