31. JEWS Please call and'/or e-mail the Carter Center
The Digger ,   USA   (01.17.07)
It is already common knowledge that The Carter Center has accepted about 15 million dollars from the Saudis and the Emirates between the years 1999-2005. However, many, many more millions flowed from the Saudis and the Emirate Princes between the years 1982--1998. These pages on the Carter Center website have been removed. PLease telephone the Carter Center asking that they reveal all donations of $ 500,000 or more. Their tel number in Atlanta,GA is : 404-420-5100 or 800-550 3560 e-mail. carterweb@emory.edu It is to be recalled that along with Carter, the three founding members or "pillars" of the Carter Center were all Arabs or Muslims: Mr. Sabbagh (BCCI bank infamy. King Fahd, and Mr.Abedi , Pakistan.
32. The Ignobel Peace Prize
Robert ,   Morristown, NJ USA   (01.17.07)
That Carter was awarded the same Nobel Peace Prize as that other paragon of virtue Arafat says it all. The Nobel 'Hate' Prize has become an Orwellian joke - a convoluted tribute to those most hateful of America and Israel. Any decent person of integrity awarded this prize in the future would be well advised to give it back, lest it stain his legacy. I suppose Qassam rockets shot from Gaza landing in Israel are peace candles in Carter's eyes. Blind Carter cannot see that the reason five times as many Palestinian kids dies as Israeli kids is that the Arabs use their kids as human shields and bomb transports while the Israelis do their best to protect theirs. 14 members of the Carter Presidential Library's own staff quit in protest of the bald faced lies in his new book. The peanut farmer from Plains is an embarrassment to the US. If ever there was a reason to revoke the US Constitution's First Amendment guaranteeing free speech, this village idiot is IT! Carter and his soulmate Cindy Sheehan should be deported to either Iran or Venezuela where they feel they belong.
33. Waste of space
Caroline ,   London   (01.17.07)
I hope a rocket lands on his head and then we will discuss what is terrorism and what isn't. Comparing the number of children killed is a bit rediculus considering that Israeli children are not trained for jihad,used as cover by cowardly terrorists and made to attend violent rallies.Every childs death is a tragedy but to just blame israel is a joke.But then when ar Palestinians ever made to take responsibility for any of their actions.
34. Carter--Rocket attacks
Brod ,   USA   (01.17.07)
For Carter to say that the Rocket attacks on Israel by the Islamist-Jihadist terrorist savages is not terrorism, he must be out of his mind. It is time for the American people to condemn Carter. Meanwhile, he should go for a check up at a mental hospital.
35. Carter was a lousy president...
Baruch ,   Boston, USA   (01.17.07)
and he's written a book in order to make it clear that we weren't misjudging him. If he lived for one day under the threat of terrorism from Arabs, instead of under the threat of stale peanuts in Plains, Georgia, he'd understand why Israel has no choice but to scrutinize Palestinians who may be carrying bombs in packages, guns, or knives, or wearing suicide vests. How would he like it if some Arab blew up his peanuts?
36. Guess who supports Carter
Michelle T   (01.17.07)
Yossi Beilin. See Forwards article. Not surprised. They both share the same goal for Israel. http://www.forward.com/articles/the-case-for-carter/

38. Nah Carter, Criticism comes from NZ as well
john ,   nz   (01.17.07)
If you want to earn some $$ writing books, try some titles like, "Impotency in Old Age"
39. in my city
Fares ,   cleveland   (01.17.07)
you can't keep the book on the shelves ...people are getting real information ,non biased finally . i just respect this man .
40. jimmy carter
george glancz ,   big bear usa   (01.17.07)
A warning to the American Jews. Vote Democrats, and get another Carter.
41. If Not Terrorism Then Rockets Are An Act of War
emanon ,   USA   (01.17.07)
42. ARABS USE THEIR WOMEN & CHILDREN AS SHIELDS WITHOUT THOUGHT
(01.17.07)
43. CARTER A REAL PEACE MAKER, MAKES DEALS WITH THE DEVILS
(01.17.07)
44. #39 "Non biased finally"
Logic ,   Israel   (01.17.07)
What's "non biased finally"? Maybe you should brush up on your grammar before trying to read books.
45. Just one more questio,.....
leon ,   Grand Rapids USA   (01.17.07)
Why did Carter carry the Jewish vote overwhemlingly, even in the election the lost to Reagan ?
46. Response to Leon, #45
Avraham ,   NYC   (01.17.07)
Leon, the Jewish community gave President Reagan approximately 40% of their vote (check the stats if you like). This is a very significant considering most American Jewish are affiliated with the Democratic Party politically.
47. Fares
Jane   (01.17.07)
Yeah, bet you LOVE it, since it's just a regurgitation of typical Muslim bullshit. Maybe your family ghost wrote it for Carter, huh, Fares?
48. Carter, tsk tsk tsk
withheld ,   Copenhagen, Denmark   (01.17.07)
Worse than South Africa's apartheid? Arabs are allowed in all Israeli parks and benches fool...
49.  what world does he live in?
Patricia ,   Waipahu, Hawaii, USA   (01.17.07)
At first I thought maybe Carter, from his sense of pride, was just trying to put himself in a more positive light having been a failed president by writing his book. He was elected probably only because of the Nixon scandal at the time. (How he was nominated is still a mystery to me.) Now with this ridiculous statement that missiles fired by the Palestinians are not terror, I no longer believe he is credible in any way. I cannot believe someone who was a president, no matter how weak and inept, could actually make such a statement. He is an old man now and must be suffering from a loss of reality. I accept that he does have some basic kindness in his work for the homeles but he should stick to this and stay out of politics and areas that are so volitile. I cannot forgive him for saying these things on Arab TV this seems to just add fuel to the fire. If he really wanted to help the situation and lived in this reality, he should have known better.
50. RACIST Jew-HATER Carter Demands Ethnic Cleansing of Jews
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (01.17.07)
RACIST Jimmy Carter and RACIST U.S. EU UN demand the ethnic cleansing of Jews from the Jewish ancestral homeland of Biblical Judea and Samaria. Ethnically cleansing Jews from Israel or any other place on earth is RACIST and EVIL. On the frontlines in the fight against global jihad - surrounded by 22 HUGE Oil-wealthy hostile Arab countries, tiny, embattled Israel is only one tenth of one percent of the Middle East. If Islamo-Fascist religious supremacists fired a daily barrage of rockets on Americans in America in addition to stabbings, shootings, bombs planted, lynchings, booby-traps, Muslim human bomb killer attacks - would Carter and U.S. leaders demand RESTRAINT on the part of Americans and declare Islamo-Fascist religious supremacists should be gifted with Washington DC and half of America?
51. And the Useful Idiot marches on...
Ironcandle ,   Atlanta, GA   (01.17.07)
52. Of Courageous men
Walldizo ,   Damas   (01.17.07)
Carter is one of those courageous leader to call spade a spade.Zionists should get accostmed to accepting this new reality.Nothing in Carter's book that may insinuate anti-sematism, he only dared to tell the truth which scares those with Palestinian's blood on their hands.Good work Mr. President and may God bless.
53. Carter is one very sick anti-Semite.
Ben Avraham ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (01.17.07)
54. Morally bankrupt
Douglas Miller ,   Miami Beach, USA   (01.17.07)
Therefore, in the world according to Jimmy, it would be acceptable for Israel to shell predominantly Arab neighborhoods? Hardly. How low has this man sunk: From being president of the US to a low life, bottom feeding scumbag.
55. He sure knows how to promote the dems
Steve ,   USA   (01.17.07)
B"H Carter really lets us know what the Democratic party is like that chose him to be President. For those who criticize President Bush, please realize that that the choice is either Republican or Democrat, and this is what has come from the Democratic side.
56. To #50
Billy ,   Burlington, Canada   (01.17.07)
Dear Linda, I was happy as I thought you quit writing to YNet. Unfortunately, I was mistaken! I'm a very big support & fan of Israel. But writing nonsense that's full of inaccurate statements, hatred & racism as you do will actually heart Israel's just cause & Zionism. Sometimes I think you're actually against Jews. I definitely don't agree with Mr. Carter. But it doesn't mean he's a racist or anti-Israeli. He said himself it was the most exciting moments of his whole life when Israel's independence was declared on May 48. He's the one who brokered the peace treaty with Egypt. I'm not saying though he's a friend of Israel as Clinton or others are, but he's a thinker, man of peace & he made a big mistake writing this book. He has the right to write & we have the right to criticize & correct but in a civilized nice way. By the way, did you elect him back in the seventies?
57. Carter's Antizionist Agenda Revealed
Adina Kutnicki ,   US   (01.17.07)
Jimmah was not only the worst President in recent US history, he is also an enabler of terrorism. It is very clear once you read his book that not only does he FABRICATE history, but he also condones terror against Jews until Israel gives into their terror! He can employ ALL the tortured (il)logic he wants, but the reality of what he is condoing will not change. Those who still believe Carter to be a man of 'peace', are either severely delusional, bordering on dementia, or they are viciously antizionist/antisemitic. Even diehard left wing Jews on his board are jumping ship. It is as simple as that.
58. if rockets are not terrorism, then they must be act of war
Semantics Watcher ,   USA   (01.17.07)
When you fire on people who are not firing on you, that does not count as defensive action or "resistance." It is bald-faced aggression, and no twisting of semantics can obfuscate that reality. The fact that Carter cannot get his terms straight shows that his political agenda is totally transparent.
59. Mr. Carter needs a new atlas
Atlas, USA   (01.17.07)
Mr. Carter: I looked on the most current map I could find, and there was no country called Palestine on it, so when you refer to Palestine, do you mean the Palestine near the Hashimite Kingdom that was part of the Ottoman Empire? When you look at your map sources, are there also countries called Siam, Burma, Prussia and Serbia? Did you purchase your maps from an antiques dealer? I think it's time for you to get a more up-to-date atlas, sir. If there was a Palestine, it does not currently exist as a country. Whether or not there is going to be a country called Palestine is anybody's guess, but it is not up to you to perpetuate a myth to further your political agenda. It shows everyone that you are not on the level, and therefore not to be trusted as an objective mediator between Jews and Arabs..
60. how to make victim out of hero
(01.17.07)
Carter' story is like a head of the Congress who found that it is his duty to provocate the senators to discuss an important but dormant problem, no one dared to touch. He had a positive response, every one moved and..... started hitting him on the head. He himself has become the victim !, reminding us of Gorbachev's story with perestroika and glasnost .
