There are two fundamental flaws with this post. First, it is a rhetorial con job to apply a term describing a policy explicitly designed on racial grounds to measures designed explicitly and only to prevent terrorists and suicide bombers from entering Israel to kill and maim. One wonders how it is possible to maintain so studied a blindness to this obvious facet of reality. Second, it is intellectually dishonest to review Carter's book without at least acknowledging that there is substantial evidence that Carter plagarized key passages, seriously misrepresented positions of participants in meetings he described and otherwise attempted to alter the historical record. This post is an ideological screed masquerading as a book review.
