Read some of the comments, predictably many pro-Israel folks are furious.

"The land is OURS dammit!!!!!"

When Jimmy Carter used the word "apartheid" in reference to Israelis, it was explosive. Bob Simon used it tonight, and a lot of people merely nod their heads in agreement. There will be no blowback tomorrow in the media. And that's why Israel is losing among people who believe in human rights and the common dignity of men.
