Abstract
In 2006, Jimmy Carter famously sparked an outcry when his book Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid was published. He raised moral questions about Israel's (mis)treatment of Palestinians. He was the first Western leader to define the Israeli regime as apartheid. In the book, he said, "Utilising their political and military dominance, [Israeli leaders] are imposing a system of partial withdrawal, encapsulation, and apartheid on the Muslim and Christian citizens of the occupied territories" (Pg 189). Through this bestselling book, Carter reached a very wide audience and told the world that Israel was a segregationist apartheid state that dehumanised Palestinians and institutionalised discrimination against them.
