Describing what he witnessed as "sobering," Mr George stated: "The
International Court of Justice has deemed Israel an apartheid state. I
don’t feel qualified to make such a judgment, but I can confirm I
witnessed extreme segregation and discrimination."
He added: "There are broadly two communities of people, living unequal
lives – one with rights, freedoms, and access to services; the other
with restrictions, no right to vote for the government controlling their
lives, and daily hardship."
...
He stressed that achieving peace requires addressing this inequality:
"Seeking peace after decades of conflict can only work if it benefits
both Israelis and Palestinians.
“Achieving this will require political change and herculean diplomatic effort. Peace can’t come until this inequality ends."
Mr. George proposed a "Two-Stage Solution" as a necessary foundation for future peace:
1. Full democratic rights – votes for all
2. A truth and reconciliation process.
