[excerpt] 
EXCERPT FROM NADER INTERVIEW FOLLOWS: Amy
Goodman: Ralph Nader, the Boston
Globe is reporting Senator John Kerry
has released a new policy paper on Israel, in which
he fully supports Israel's construction of the
425-mile wall through the West Bank. Last year,
Senator Kerry said that the wall was a barrier to
peace. But in the new policy paper, Kerry writes,
"The security fence is a legitimate act of
self-defense. The tight of the paper is,
"strengthening Israel security and bolstering the
special u.s.-Israel relationship." In one part of
the paper, Kerry concludes that Israel's cause must
be America's cause. Your response? Ralph
Nader: That's
an example of a puppet. A puppet politician who
does not think in the best interests of the
American people and the Israeli and Palestinian
people. The majority of the people in Israel and
the majority of Americans of Jewish faith in this
country support an independent Palestinian state,
as a solution -- peaceful solution to that
long-drawn-out conflict. It's really interesting.
John Kerry on the wall is now not even up to the
Israeli supreme court, which has issued a decision
quite critical of the way that the wall is being
built to take existing Palestinian land, separate
peasants from their farms or children from their
schools. So, he ought to read the latest decision
by the Israeli supreme court. [END OF INTERVIEW
