No US president has ever been willing to call the system imposed by Israel on the Palestinians what it is: apartheid. Except Jimmy Carter.

The article from Jacobin discusses former U.S. President Jimmy Carter's evolving perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, particularly his criticism of Israel's policies towards Palestinians. Initially, Carter was seen as a friend to Israel, but over time, especially after his presidency, he became more vocal about what he perceived as injustices. His 2006 book, "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid," controversially likened Israel's treatment of Palestinians to apartheid, sparking significant backlash. Despite the criticism, Carter has continued to advocate for Palestinian rights, emphasizing the need for a two-state solution and criticizing the expansion of Israeli settlements and the blockade of Gaza. His stance has positioned him as a somewhat isolated figure among American political leaders, highlighting the complexities and sensitivities surrounding the conflict.
