1. Uh, he just called Israel an apartheid state
Carter's Book Reader   (11.17.06)
2. Yeh and
(11.17.06)
We know which so called lady here will gladly help him, starting at that the machsom
3. Talk about a career politician!
Pro-Israel ,   USA   (11.17.06)
Tell Carter to go sit down and take some Geritol. His failures in Iran and Israel are critical to what Iran is today.
4. jimmy carter
isiaiah   (11.17.06)
carter is a human rights humanitarian who must denounce the white paper of 1939.
5. we know what to expect from jimmy carter....
yonatan ,   nyc   (11.17.06)
disappointing
6. Perfect Jew/Israel hater for the job
malcolm   (11.17.06)
Excellent choice.... ...None other than the man who presided over the election of Hamas and still believes in Arafat. The man Bill Clinton tried to outdo with Olso. Go Jimmy ...or I should say ...Why bother going , just write it up and save yourself the time. You're not getting younger. Result of Carter Report on War Crimes of the Jewish State: Israel was engaged in deliberate targeting of civilians. They are guilty of war crimes. End of report.
7. Carter
jeremy ,   Upper Galilee   (11.17.06)
Well, looks like we will be castrated again. Carter hates Israel as much as most European states do. Oh well, what can you do except ignore the dumb ass.
8. Carter
jeremy ,   Upper Galilee   (11.17.06)
Oh boy here it comes now, our usual international castration. Carter will be as objective as Jim Baker is when dealing with Israel. Carter's book says it all. No wonder the Arabs choose him.
9. It is mockery
Arul ,   Malaysia   (11.17.06)
UN probe into the killing of 19 or so civilians. Why wasn't there any UN probe when the palestinians blow hundreds or people in cafeterias and buses. Why there is no UN probe to the indiscriminate Kassam rocket firing ? UN is useless
10. Jimmy Carter LOL
Avraham ,   Netivot   (11.17.06)
Here we go again, the Useless Nations appoints Jimmy Carter, a useless jerk to head a useless comission. We all know what Carter will say before he even starts. Jimmy Carter & the U.N. should be persona non grata in Israel.
11. talk about having a pre-determined outcome...
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (11.17.06)
all his invvestigation will do is catch him up on the latest libelous propoganda circulating in gaza. i'll bet carter already has the report 95% ready. he just needs to go there and insert the allegations he's looking for and it will be complete.
12. I have a a better idea
(11.17.06)
Carter should recruit Ahmedinejad to investigate with him as sort of an East-West joint venture to promote relations between Iran and America. Talk about harmonious convergence, these two together could report, judge, and condemn Israel in a matter of hours.
13. CARTER
DSM ,   USA   (11.17.06)
Carter is nothing more than a Jew hating, failed president. Israel must ignore both Carter's finding and any U.N. sanctions,
14. Jimmy Carter himself is the main cause.
Jacob Israel ,   NewYork, USA   (11.17.06)
Jimmy Carter has to appologize the free world for overthrowing Shah and bringing Khomeini and Islamic Revoloution in power in Tehran in 1979 . Afterwards he never opened his mouth to condem the many humanity crimes commited by that regim. He has a much bigger task than Gaza. First he has to answer to the world what happened to "Human Rights"in Iran after he put Khomeini into power? If it was not for Carter today the world was much a different place.
15. Jimmy Carter hates Israel.
Elana ,   LA, USA   (11.17.06)
I think Israel should ban him from entering the country.
16. What about the missiles landing in Israel UN?
Jay ,   Israel   (11.17.06)
Call the UN to defend the Palestinian popullation? While muslims indescriminately kill hundreds of infidels everyday, the UN wants to probe 18 deaths in Gazza. Are they serious? Isnt it Israel that is being attacked with missiles on a daily basis yet not a mention by the UN. Jimmy Carter is an anti - semite and should go rot in hell. Stuff the UN and its bogus representations.
17. What an unbiased choice .....
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (11.17.06)
Carter was one of America's worst presidents & has steadily drifted to the radical left since. Todays problem with Iran dates from his mistakes & cowardice during the Islamic revolution. He has been a constant critic of Israel. It's what we can expect from the UN -
18. Victims & killers known, UN must demand justice. Probe what?
(11.17.06)
19. Carter is a lifelong member of the evangelical church
(11.17.06)
I thought the evangelicals want to convert all of the Jews and deceive them with messianic congregations? How can Carter be a member of the largest evangelical denomination in the USA that actively supports Israel but not himself be a Christian Zionist? According to past talkbacks, this doesn't fit with the conspiracy of the Christians.
20. What's this?! Whoring to the US hating UN Jimmy?
USA   (11.17.06)
The UN will do anything to create the IMAGE of US subjecting itself and cooperating with oil bribed and blinded UN. Carter's too senile for this! He's like 95 years old!
21. 12. No. It will actually be like a reunion...
(11.17.06)
In 1979 44 American hostages were kidnapped by the Iranians on Carter's watch. US hostage Terry Waite and others have said Amadjihad was the lead kidnapper.
22. For ONCE, Israel, stop being such a sissy state ...
sk ,   USA   (11.17.06)
and simply DECLINE any investigation of which Carter is a part. You can do it! JUST SAY NO.
23. Jimmy Carter Worst ex-president EVER
Econ-Scott ,   Oakland, California   (11.17.06)
Jimmy Carter Worst President Ever, Worst Ex-President Ever and Heretical "christian" Dated but still Acurate - http://www.nationalreview.com/flashback/flashback-nordlinger101102.asp Jimmy Carter, Pathetic, Vile & Venal
24. The UN doesn't need to collect evidence
Ilan ,   Ariel   (11.17.06)
Carter and "fact-finding" don't go together. UN and evidence is an equally ludicrous pairing.
25. Will Jimmy Head the Qassam Probe Too
H ,   Jerusalem   (11.17.06)
the thousands of rockets that killed and maimed?
26. How punny!
Raoul ,   Netanya, Israel   (11.17.06)
Carter given carte blanche? Carter should be carted off !!
27. WAY to go JIMMY
American ,   USA   (11.17.06)
in your twilight years- I am sure you just want to do the right thing- GOD bless you- war crimes are war crimes- jew or not. keep up the good work.
28. The tallest chicken coop of the world is in NY.
Ishak Haskiya ,   Roskilde-Denmark   (11.17.06)
29. Carter has already reached a conclusion
Bob ,   kiryat ata, Israel   (11.17.06)
Appointing Carter to head this commission is a joke...as is the commission itself. Why not just let him print the findings now since he already knows the outcome of his "investigation". SAD SAD SAD
30. Has-been, pathetic Carter bashes Israel to stay relevant.
JW ,   NY   (11.17.06)
