I disagree with some of what Obama is saying in that link. This is one of the reasons I had initially decided to not vote for him. But I have more recently come to think that of the three candidates, he is the least likely to practice racism towards Palestinians.

However, I disagree with what he has said about Jimmy Carter's characterization of the situation in the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem as apartheid. I think what Jimmy Carter said is right on the money, and I think that if Obama were to look deeply within himself, he would see this also, and perhaps already does, but is afraid to say.

I think the bigger question is whether or not Obama could get elected if he didn't didn't say what is expected of political candidates in this regard.
