Rice compares segregated U.S. South to Palestinians in Israel

"The Dutch representative to the Annapolis Conference, Franz Timmermans told the Washington Post that U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told a closed-door meeting of 16 Arab representatives and the Israeli envoys at the conference on Tuesday that her childhood in the segregated U.S. South helped her understand the situation of Palestinians in Israel."

What Is This? Rice identifying with the Palestinians? Must be a mis-print.
