On Saturday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Velshi," host Ali Velshi said that the "idea that it's even remotely controversial to call what Israel has imposed on Palestinians a form of apartheid is laughable." And that while Hamas "may not be in the best long-term interests of the Gazans," and Gazans have picked "a government that most of us wouldn't prefer," "peace hasn't really worked out" for Gazans. Velshi further argued, "Israel needs a new approach to the Palestinians and America needs a new approach to Israel."
