I heard him, and frankly he's wrong. Palestinians are allowed into Israel proper, and are allowed to move freely to Jordan, and are allowed to move freely througout the west bank. That is when there are no attacks on Israel. When there are attacks, then it is incumbent on Israel to harshly punish the population of the west bank in retaliation. Mr. Fletcher has a profound misunderstanding of the actualities on the ground.

BIG FAT LIER...ISREAL NOT CONFESSING THAT THEY COMMITTED MASSACRES AND GENOCIDES IN 48 itself is a crime that needs to bring the whole regime ruling israel since then to justice and be tired as war criminals in international courts..israel's regime has maintianed a consistant LIE that they have done nothing in 48 and they own the pals nothing in the present.

Safe and prosperous for all -- except 99% of its population.

The point he is making is that Egypt doesnt want palestinians either, and this just shows the hypocrisy of the arab nations in the region. They hate the palestinians, but they hate jews more so they use the palestinians as a tool to label jews and zionists and oppresors. Anyone who has visited the country of israel would clearly see this is not true, but many of you ignorant pricks have not even set foot in Israel so i dont expect you to understand.

The Egyptians are being bribed by the US on behalf of the Zionists to not take the Palis.
Although everyone is aware that Israel had its hand deep into the pocket of the US taxpayers and that tiny nation receives one third of all US foreign aid, lesser known is that Egypt is the second largest welfare queen of the US and is being paid to play nice with Israel.
Spend a month in Gaza or the W Bank and keep flapping your mouth about how there is no apartheid in Israel controlled lands.

As a matter of fact i have spent a month in the region,actually it was 4 weeks and 2 of the 4 weeks were spent in the west bank.During that time i also visited,but did not stay in Gaza.Apartheid is nt a term that can be thrown around in this manner,it is a set system.Apartheid is racism established by government where certain races or religions are discriminated against,and after staying in the country it became aparent that is not the case and a simple look at israels history should also sufice

President Carter has frequently reiterated the point that his "use of 'apartheid' does not apply to circumstances within Israel."[102] Regarding the title of his book Carter has said:
"It's not Israel. The book has nothing to do with what's going on inside Israel which is a wonderful democracy,
you know, where everyone has guaranteed equal rights and where, under the law, , Arabs and Jews who are Israelis have the same privileges about Israel.
