1. Rockets Part of U.S. Road Map to peace
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.17.07)
pEANUT man is just stating what everyone agrees . The rockets are part of the peace plan led by the U.S. The thinking of the western power elites which include jimmy boy is that once Israel is erased there will be peace in the Middle East. Hence ,the Road Map to peace takes much Jewish sacrifice and no Arab ,Plaestinian sacrifice. DO YOU GET IT ,Israel ? Better wake up Israel while you still can.

5. What is Terrorism?
Tim ,   USA   (01.17.07)
Blowing yourself up on a crowded bus is terrorism, but randomly firing a missle hoping to hit a civilian target is not terrorism. Had Carter dealt a decisive blow to the Islamic extremeist in 1979 we would not have to deal with it today.
6. At the end of WW 2 ....
Hans ,   Markdorf, Germany   (01.17.07)
many young german determined boys where put to the anti-aircraft guns and killed. I hope very much the former american president Carter is not blaming the allied troops for that pice of nazi-tactics. And so he should not blame Israel for palesinian children killed by terrorist-tactics.
7. this is actually good..
dorothy ,   oz , kansas   (01.17.07)
this is good. it exposes him to be the nincompoop (that we already know he is), to his blind followers
8. not for lack of trying
bob ,   potomac md usa   (01.17.07)
It is not for lack of trying that the Palestinians have killed fewer Jews than Jews have killed Palestinians. It's just a matter of logistics. Does that mean if the Arabs were luckier shots, that Carter would be for the Jews? Yeah, sure...
9. Is any one suprised that he was a 1 term president

Carter, your brain has always been the size of a peanut. Go back tothe peanut gallery.
11. terrorism = anything which makes palestinians look bad
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (01.17.07)
in other words, the very act of indiscriminately targeting women and children with rockets does not qualify as terrorism because it has less shock value on public perception. nevermind the fact that the rockets falling on people produces the feeling of being terrorized. the more carter keeps talking, the more he discredits, embarrasses, and loses respect for, himself. just a loser flapping his gums.
12. Jimmy Carter! Go away!
Jellybean ,   Chicago   (01.17.07)
Your old and senile! Please go change your dipers and go back to bed! Its way past your bedtime! oh and by the way..Gerald Ford thinks you sucked during your term as Prez!

For weeks, months you spout your venom. I can only guess you have had an unhappy childhood. Now, I challenge you to put your money were your mouth is, and stop criticizing. Move to Israel. Do something positive.

15. Jimmy Carter 's Rockets
jack ,   ny, ny   (01.17.07)
Former president Carter, who brought stagflationto the US economy, Russian arms build-up when Us reduced theirs in hope to bring 'peace', and who certified the fraudulent election of anti-democracy Chavez, is the same peanut farmer who can not see that rockets aimed at civilian population is against international law and a terrorist act. This is not a jewish issue it is Carter's failure issue.

This is almost becoming painful to read. Why is this stick-dreck being given any credence in the written media?

18. Carter
jeremy ,   Upper Galilee   (01.17.07)
Ex President Carter is a very stupid person. He should not have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, he like Arafat should have it taken away. Rockets are a form of terror, and if he thinks other wise, then let him come here and live in the south and face a rocket attack
19. Not terrorism, but sure a war crime.

20. Jimmy Carter
Margaret   (01.17.07)
I used to really admire Carter and thought of him as a humantarian. But now my opinion is just the opposite. Criticizing certain Israeli policies is one thing, but that's all he ever does. In fact , the first time I ever heard him even once criticize the Palestinian side was in this article where he gives a very slight condemnation to Palestinians who deliberately target Jewish woman and children. How is firing missles at Israeli towns with the sole intent of killing civilains any different, then boarding a bus full of woman and children,often these missles hit nursery schools and children's playgrounds,these missles have killed and injured several children,and it's nothing short of a miracle that many more children haven't been killed and injured. Either he's lost it or he's on a hate campaign against the Israel and the Jewish people either way he should be ashamed.
21. Are you kidding, JC?
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (01.17.07)
"Carter: Palestinian rockets not terrorism" If this is what he said, then the man is a borderline Anti-Semite. Palestinian rockets are the epitome of terrorism. They are shot on Jewish homes and kindergartens, with intent, and aimed at causing maxim damage and death. Arab rockets terrorize. What is so hard to understand about that, Jimmy? Besides, Mr. Carter's equation of Arab attacks specifically directed to terrorize (they have no strategic or tactical purpose) and the legitimate Israeli defense of its innocent population is so perverted that only a blind fool can see its logic.
22. Carter doesn't speak for all
Chris ,   Boston, MA   (01.17.07)
Although at one point Carter was President of the United States and was in a position which represented the US, he definitely has lost his mind in his age. He does NOT represent the feeling of the US or the US population. This is his opinion and his opinion only. Missiles being shot at civilians IS terrorism and it's not acceptable.
23. Carter: Palestinian rockets not terrorism
Bruno ,   Canada   (01.17.07)
Wise and non-bias man! Just the facts! Carter is well respected world wide and is drawing much attention to whats happening in the middle east. The Truth is out there and rising to the service.
24. Carter and the Dems
leon ,   Grand Rapids USA   (01.17.07)
The silence of the Democratic leadership on this matter is deafening. And Jews in Congress ) are also silent. . Do you hear me Carl Levin ???? Do you hear me Arlen Spector ?????
25. Where is Carter from ?
Atilla Karagözoğlu ,   Istanbul   (01.17.07)
sure its joke. He is American. He was one of the president of The US in past. what else ! He is an old man, now. He cant stay out of politics. I believe, He will give his natural death while he still speaks politics. that is everyones dream, speacially for artists ; die while singing... sure we wish many long years for him to live. we are not butchers. what was the subject ? .....rockets not terrorism !!!!! come on guys, we will also be old man , some day, lets understand him :) He must have great negative energy on himself for WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR WORLD PEACE IN HIS TIME. WHEN THE TIME COMES, YOU KNOW TO GO UP THERE !!! Angels places, we more question ourself, BUT AGAIN BUT !!! Lets try to be more open. The Rockets are part of THE TERRORISM. THIS IS SERIOUS SUBJECT. when we talk, we always must talk directly, openly, honestly if it is possible. if we cant, lets nor speak. everything is in TERROR FORMAT in UNLUCKY HOLY PLACES. We just love normal people. The subject is too deep. Carter Carter.... Lets not be offensive on Him. maybe he is trying to show himself nice to The God. asking forgiveness. and nothing wrong with that. we all do it. But, The God is MASTER TEACHER. He just teaches, We cant convince(cheat, persuade) him with our own judgement. So, little respect for MASTER TEACHER.

Critics of Israel like Mr.Carter often throw casualty stastics around to try and make Israel look even worse then the PLO and Jihad terrorists who deliberately premeditate and target Israeli civilians for murder and mass murder. This is very misleading and does not tell even half the truth. First of all,many more Israelis would have died if it were not for the Israeli intelligence and the security fence, which was built after all the suicide bombings in 2002. I read that even in 2002, when the suicide bombings were at their peak Israeli intelligence thwarted a very large percent of terror acts. Today largely because of the security fence 98 percent of attacks are thwarted. That's the main reason why there hasn't been a suicide bombing in months. Where as before there were weekly sometimes even daily bombings. Secondly not nearly as many Palestinian civilians would have died if they had not been used as human shields by the terrorists,or had not participated in violent acts themselves.
27. Carter
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta :-( US   (01.17.07)
This man is giving sticks and Dreck a bad name. Our rednecks are mental giants compared to this nutball. It must have something to do with those killer rabbits and UFO's Jimmy saw in his younger days. Maybe he became a rabbit abductee after the aliens threw him back.
28. #23, you are right, not terrorism..they are WAR CRIME
David ,   Boston, USA   (01.17.07)
If you look at the definition of a war crime, what the Arabs in Gaza are doing to Sederot is defined internationally as a war crimed and the Arabs who are doing this need to be tried in international court for the war crimes. As for Carter being popular? I am old enough to know he was an unpopular president that caused many problems for the US. He is even less liked now in the US.

It's that afla-toxin from those bad peanuts.
30. Redneck Jew hater
Chana ,   USA   (01.17.07)
Carter and David Duke must be good friends they think alike. After being the WORSE Pres. the USA ever had and accepting money from the Arabs of course he hates Jews and Israel, He came from a State than at one time kept blacks seprate from whites kept them poor and used them to pick Carter peanuts He did NOTHING for the blacks while he was Pres. Carter is a peanut head who should keep quite and enjoy his retiretment. We should all send him a sheet to wear to his next KKK meeting
