CARTER: So the persecution of the Palestinians now, under the occupying territories—under the occupation forces—is one of the worst examples of human rights deprivation that I know. And I think it‘s— SHUSTER: Even worse, though, than a place like Rwanda? CARTER: Yes. I think—yes. You mean, now? SHUSTER: Yes. CARTER: Yes. SHUSTER: The oppression now of the Israelis—of the Palestinians by the Israelis is worse than the situation in Africa like the oppression of Rwanda and the civil war? CARTER: I‘m not going back into ancient history about Rwanda, but right now, the persecution of the Palestinians is one of the worst examples of human rights abuse I know, because the Palestinians— SHUSTER: You‘re talking about right now, you‘re not talking about say, a few years ago. CARTER: I‘m not talking about ancient history, no. SHUSTER: Rwanda wasn‘t ancient history; it was just a few years ago. CARTER: You can talk about Rwanda if you want to. I want to talk about Palestine. What is being done to the Palestinians now is horrendous in their own territory, by the occupying powers, which is Israel. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15951792/ I know right-wing msnbc
