1. Carter is right
Palestinian   (02.26.07)
Americans should be brave enough... Jews are not always right. The state of Israel of today, is not the Israelite Kingdom of the Prophets David and Solomon... Neither Ariel Sharon, nor Ehud Olmert are prophets...! Today's state of Israel is simply a colony in the middle east. that is how it is viewed, and that is how it is treated. It is a foriegn entity here, and the tone of its leader since its creation makes it existence as a Jewish only state an almost impossibility.

4. This Vitriolic Jew Hate Was Instilled As A Child
Yonatan Koss ,   Chi Town, OR. USA   (02.26.07)
Just as Mel Gibson learned the art of Jew hatred from his father so has Jimmy Carter carried on his southern traditions from his childhood.
5. Carter's BIG Idea
Mike ,   Chicago   (02.26.07)
Like Bush, Carter wants to make a big change that ignores reality. Again an imposition from theory to practice. Bush sacrificed Iraq Carter wiould sacrifice Israel.

Mike Jefferson ,   Washington, D.C.   (02.26.07)
that you are a demented, racist, anti-Semite. Oh yes, you were the worst President in American history. Besides that, your "book" was filled with dozens of inaccuracies and outright lies. Any other questions?

12. Carter on ABC news
sam ,   ny   (02.26.07)
I think we should send Carter to the middle east to broker a peace between the warring parties. But it is not possible as long as the neocons and their henchmen are in power!
13. Carter on Payroll of Saudi Arabia
SL ,   New York   (02.26.07)
Dershowitz and others have proven that Jimmy Carter sold his soul to the devil, by going on the payroll of the Saudi Arabian government.

1.5 Billion Muslims   (02.26.07)
Truth hurts some time , lot of people who do not wanna hear the truth always insult the person who tell the truth . all this who r Israel frister they should prove if Carter lie instead of using personal insult and it is very sad lot of people who r claiming they r American have to insult American President ; but what is new all this so called American do not care about America and all they care of Israel they should move Israel if they love that much. Reality Check, World
15. The reaction to Carter's book has revealed the true nature
Apartheid ,   Boston USA   (02.26.07)
of the pro-Israeli leviathon to the American people. The talkbacks here will show what I mean.
16. More Truth for 1.5 Billion Moslems
Daniel ,   Columbia, SC, USA   (02.26.07)
When will Saudi Arabia allow Jews to live in Mecca, as Jews? Stop the Apartheid approved by Dhimmi Carter!!
17. Carter is an ANTI-Humanitarian
Elana ,   LA, USA   (02.26.07)
If he cared about human life in the slightest, he would dedicate the rest of his life to stopping the Pals from teaching their own children to commit suicide bombings to murder Jews. Carter is a monster with NO regard for human life, especially Jewish life but also including the lives of the Pal children he pretends to care about. Israel can't talk the Pals into loving their children more than they hate Jews. As Golda Meir said, no peace is possible until they learn to do this. Carter, retire and shut up!!!!!!
18. THE MAJORITY HAS NEVER BEEN RIGHT IN HISTORY

CAN YA BELIEVE THAT? ,   JEWS WANT A LIFE ?   (02.26.07)
21. The protocols of Jimmy Carter
I. Barr ,   Detroit, USA   (02.26.07)
"The protocols of the learned elders of Zion" first published in 1897 by Philip Stepanov are a best seller all over the world. Despite being a forgery it is enough to Google to find the extent in which this book became a corner stone in anti-Semitic thinking. Basically it suggest that Jews seek world domination by way of conspiracy, deceit, manipulations and control of money. It makes every Jew part of this massive organization. Nazi propaganda as seen in Der Sturmer, a journal published by Julius Streicher, is an actual repetition through the famous anti-Semitic cartoons, of the same theme. Jews have a conspiracy of domination. Now comes Jimmy Carter's book. The massage of the book, from the title and down, is unmistaken: Jews control the media, academic and political process in the USA and by inference the world. The fact that there is an Israel, an extension of the Zionist movement, is an instrument Carter uses to get to the Jewry at large. Israel is racist, discriminatory, occupying, manipulative and cruel typical to what Jews are. Through Israel you see the true face of the Jews. To achieve this goal his book is laced with lies, inaccuracies and planted ideas. The "Jewish lobby" is no other than the "learned elders of Zion." Same lady with a different dress. High Jewish enrollment to universities, high number of Jews in the media, political establishment, finance, theater, etc., are all indicative for Carter to prove the point: Israel treatment of Palestinians will not be different from the way that Jews treat the world. The world will be Apartheid were Jews are dominating and controlling. As a book of a former President it will reach every library in the USA and beyond. It will be a reference book in schools and universities. It will be in every public library and, as the protocols issued about 100 years ago, Carter's book will continue to be a source of anti-Semitism and the lies and misinformation will continue to circulate. There is one thing that Carter cannot deny: suicide bombing by Palestinian terrorists, exploding buses, pizza parlors, nursing homes of Passover night, launching Qassam missiles on Israeli civilian population are crimes against humanity. Ignoring those reflects on Carter's intentions and honesty.
22.  THE THICKEST OF HEADS
RCA ,   USA   (02.26.07)
There is no hope for this farmer. He is like a bull in a china closet. You think that he would finaly want to give his mouth and pen a rest. I guess that the Arab money is too much for him to resist. It's no wonder that muslims are backing the democrats in the US. He helps spread their propaganda.
23. Carter is the worst president of the 20th century
Jimmy ,   USA   (02.26.07)
He gave away the Panama canal and caused us more crap with Iran than we can handle. He is also very anti-Semitic.
24. Want to critize Israel? Fine but measure Israel
Roger ,   USA   (02.26.07)
by the same yardstick and standards you apply to the 22 deranged, brutal, anti-democratic Arab state. Israel is not is not in Micronesia but in the neighborhood based on hate and violence. Once you apply to Israel the standards you apply to the Arabs then Israel will be a beacon of light, peace, grace, love and democracy.
25. People who havent even read the book are dissing it.
AR ,   USA   (02.26.07)
Read it then make your own opinion. People say it is one sided because it challenges what mainstream media in America says it controversial because if people understud it as the truth (which for the most part it is) then they would never believe the crap the News Media in the states shoves down our throats. The media is just covering its own ass here they wouldnt care if it wasnt carter either. He is very influential and has a lot of respect for a president. He did eventual negotiate for the release of the hostages.(got them back without a war israel should learn from him) he is not an anti semite he was the president that helped negotiate the peace between Israel and Egypt which till this day has not been broken. Bye the way the guys that left his orginization after the book was released were jews who havent worked with carter in decades aka he could care less who they were. The book is right angry jews and pro zionist are pissed. Bye the way dont complain about the money carter may have gotten from arabs. Look at all the money jews and arabs are giving to other politicians especially bush.
26. Carter Library is supported by the Saudi Goverment
Sam Weinstein ,   USA   (02.26.07)
Carter Library is supported by the Saudi Goverment Royal family, and the Bin Laden Family. Israel is against the whole world how much of a balanced position does he want. He is a raving lunitic who started this entire islamic mess by screwing up the Iranian situation.
27. In balance?
Irritated reader   (02.26.07)
A balanced stand on the ME can only come from a man able to see the difference between what's right and wrong.The 3 NO from Khartoum in 1967 made any peace effort an impossibility.When Israel defended herself,and suddenly was a larger landmass, it was called-"occupation".Carter is not the "balance" the ME needs.
28. #15.
jason ,   usa   (02.26.07)

"pro-Israeli leviathon to the American people" people would most likely call you an anti-semitic I'm not saying it beacuse you'er an Anti-Zionist I'm saying that you are one beacuse thats an Anti-Semitic conspricy. You'er not talking about not Zionists You'er talking about poeple who are jewish
29. IT 'S UNBALANCED B/C ONE SIDE IS CIVIL THE OTHER SAVAGE
DAVID ,   USA   (02.26.07)
HUMAN NATURE HAS EVOLVED TO A POINT THAT WE RECOGNIZE THAT THEIR ARE DIFFERENCES
30. WHEN CARTER GOES IT WILL BE TO THE SOUND OF LOUD HISSING
