31. Dear Israel....
Scott ,   Haifa   (11.17.06)
Please accept my apologies for former President Carter. He was an embarrassment to us when he was president, and continues to be an embarrassment to us to this day. His views do not reflect true American views and values...Sorry.
32. #19
Scott   (11.17.06)
To answer your question, Carter does not represent the true Christian view of Israel. He comes unfortunately from the wrong teaching that affects the majority of the church that says that the church has replaced Israel. A true Christian Zionist is 100% behind Israel's fight to survive in a hostile Islamic enviornment. They are some of the few friends of Israel. Again, sorry... Regarding Christian conspiracies, the church has done enough harm to Israel, and the proper position of the church to Israel should be that they are indebted to Israel. It is sad to see such misrepresentation. May America always be behind Israel.
33. It makes no difference which enlightened antisemite liberal
Uzi   (11.17.06)
heads the enlightened antisemite UN probe. By the way, can somebody help to translate 'yefe nefesh' into English?
34. Carter the wimp
Ray ,   TX, USA   (11.17.06)
Personally I cant stand Carter. He has proven to a spineless wimp as a public official. What ever he does or says, Israel beware. He needs to stay on the peanut farm where he has many friends.
35. #27. WAY to go JIMMY?
Raoul Schur ,   Netanya, Israel   (11.17.06)
I presume you are being sarcastic !!
36. Once again Jimmy boy for rescue? Earn your Nobel, shwantz!
Ron ,   LA   (11.17.06)
37. How lucky we are to have Jimmy (peanut head) Carter
Ron ,   LA   (11.17.06)
38. #33 - "yefe nefesh"
Elana ,   LA, USA   (11.17.06)
It sort of means "bleeding heart" (like a bleeding heart liberal), but it's really sort of like telling a man that he's been emasculated. Sort of like a poofter in the UK.
39. ....under the personal supervision of UN chief Kofi Annan..!
KMR ,   Middle East   (11.17.06)
end time struggle of 'Oil for Food chief Kofi' ??????
40. Disgrace...
Lior ,   London   (11.17.06)
The lies this man has told about Israel and Jews would make him the perfect person for the international community to place their trust... The perfect embodiement of anti-Semitism...
41. Jimmy Carter - a new Chamberlain?
Alexander ,   Israel   (11.17.06)
Policy of appeasement has proven to be dangerous as it emboldens tyrants and despots all over the world. The outbreak of WW2 should ring a bell or two. If Carter loves Iran, the terrorists and Ahmadinejad and the "Palestinians" so much, he should go to bed with them.
42. 19. No conspiracy. We say flat out, Jesus is Moshiac
(11.17.06)
We say we'd love all Jews to know Jesus. But if he chooses not to, there's nothing a Christian can do but love them as-is. That applies to all mankind. Like anyone else, Christian is as Christian does. However, no true or biblically informed Christian will align themselves with Israel's worldly enemies or satanic religious adherents against Israel least they contempt the love and favor Christ shows Israel and invite the wrath of God's curse in Gen. 12:3.
43. Leave Israel alone! The do all things fair! Not like caliphs
Da Arab   (11.17.06)
44. UN VOID OF TRUTH
Sam ,   Nigeria   (11.17.06)
If Jimmy Carter heads UN Beit Hanoun civilian incident, who please is to head the daily Qassam Rocket attack on Israeli Civilians or are the UN galvanising the concerted attempts and threat to wipe Israel away ?
45. #1 and who has not called Israel apartheid?
(11.17.06)
46. 23 great link
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (11.17.06)
but i could have done without that last part of the article (shudder).
47. Probe crap and Carter
Brod ,   USA   (11.17.06)
This is the biggest crap of all time. The UN is becoming a tool of Islamist-Jihadists. And Carter who is anti-Israel is being engineered by Arab Islamist-Jihadists at the UN to head this probe crap. The American people should reject this crap outright. After 9/11, America should not be fooled by the lies and manipulations of the Islamist-Jihadist forces that sneaked their way through the UN to do their dirty work against Israel--the only genuine ally, friend and supporter of America in the Middle East. America should always stand by Israel in confronting the lies, manipulations, threats and aggressions of Islamist-Jihadists in the Middle East and throughout the world.
48. #19 Carter worst president
Brenda ,   Indiana   (11.17.06)
Carter was/is the worst president we ever had. He didn't do a thing for the hostages but try to talk them back. He is spinless and if I were Israeli leaders I'd tell the world Carter isn't welcome in Israel and doesn't have the commen sense to head anything much less something like this. Why doesn't the UN condemn all the missiles flying into Israel everyday? Carter's church believes in replacement theory thelogy where church leaders say that God got mad at the Jews and decided to honor Christians and give them the covenant. This was just the way the Catholic Church had of trying to wipe out the Jews way back in the ealier days of the Christian Church. They forgot one thing and that is that God doesn't change his mind, break his covenants. God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. A TRUE BIBLE BELIEVING CHRISTIAN would not curse the Jews and would always support them for that's the promise God gave and the threat he made to the world. Besides proving to the world that he is even more inept than the American people thought, he puts his soul in danger of being cursed by taking sides against the Jews. Sorry that's the way it is. Not something I said but what God said. A promise God made and one I believe in. Carter won't prosper if he sides against the Jews in this matter.
49. Just Say NO to Carter....
Johnson ,   USA   (11.17.06)
This was our worst president. He gave us the Iran we have today. I remember the gas lines, the double digit inflation, and all the farmers losing their farms after generations. He's full of crap, and I wish this pathetic excuse would just go away.
50. #27 American
Jane   (11.17.06)
No right-minded American is unaware of Carter's Jew-hatred and Israel-hatred. If you support him, you reveal yourself.
51. #42
Jane   (11.17.06)
Of course Jesus would favor Israel - he was a Jew.
52. He called Israel and apartheid state because
Cynthia ,   NJ USA   (11.17.06)
that is exactly what Irael is. It is a state that is occupying land that it does not own....and I am not talking about Israel proper's land. I am talking about the small amount of land that is Palestine. Israel is ocuppying that land and subjecting the rightful owners of that land to unconscionable atrocities. Israel is doing this to marginalize the voices of the non-jewish. And to aquire their land. Israel has its own land. Our US media is subject to Israel's propaganda regarding its behavior in Palestine. The rest of the world is not. Israel spends billions to assure this by hiring to American PR firms. Israel uses the taboo against criticism of the Jews being seen as antisemitism in the US. It is very effective. Israel's own newspapers offer a much more balanced view and information that will never appear in the US press. Please see this film for a complete understanding: If you cannot get the link, go to google video and search for: Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land: Media & the Israel-Palestine Conflict http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6604775898578139565&q=israel+palestine&hl=en
53. Cynthia #52--the Aparthied crap
Brod ,   USA   (11.17.06)
Where they heck did you get the aparthied crap from? It is the same crap that the Islamist-Jihadists have been soaked with from the brainwashing of their preachers of hate who have been teaching their people to hate Jews from the time they learn to walk and talk. The fact is the land in reference is the biblical and historic Homeland of Israel which the Jews inherited from their forefathers--Abraham, Isaac and Jacob 4000 years ago. Their Land Title is clearly spelled out in the Holy Bible. In their War of Survival in 1967, Israel defended and regained their biblical and historic homeland--Judea and Samaria from the Arab Islamist-Jihadist occupiers who came from Southeastern Arabia in 700 AD. The whole biblical and historic Homeland of Israel--the State of Israel is only a tiny strip of land in comparison with the vast expanse of land that extends from Yemen to Morocco that the Arab Islamist-Jihadists own. Despite this and the fact the their fellow Arab Islamist-Jihadists, squatting in the biblical and historic Homeland of Israel , have their own historic homeland in Saudi Arabia, the Arab Islamist -Jihadist states refuse to accommodate them. This is because the ultimate goal of the Arab Islamist-Jihadist states in the region is to deprive the Jews of living in their biblical and historic Homeland--State of Israel. For more than 60 years, the Arab Islamist-Jihadists tried to wipe off the Jews from their biblical and historic Homeland. First, Arab Islamist-Jihadists led by Al Husseini worked hand in hand with Romanist Nazis led by Hitler in exterminating 6 million Jews in WWII. Second, in Israel's Wars of Survival in 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973, the surrounding Arab Islamist-Jihadist states tried to annihilate Israel but they were defeated by the brave people of Israel. Knowing that they can't annihilate Israel in wars, they now resort to brainwash the world with their occupation/aparthied crap by manipulating EU, the UN and America to do their dirty work of pressuring Israel to give up their biblical and historic Homeland as one of their strategies of wiping off Israel from the Middle East. In addition, they are working hand in hand with their fellow Islamist-Jihadist state of Iran that has repeatedly threatened to wipe off Israel. And the fanatical Islamist-Jihadist regime of Iran is feverishly working on their nukes to accomplish their evil plan on Israel and their plan to impose an ISLAMIST-JIHADIST NEW WORLD ORDER. IT IS TIME THE WORLD WAKES UP AND SHOULD KNOW THE LIES, BRUTALITY AND AGGRESSIONS OF THE ISLAMIST-JIHADISTS AGAINST THE JEWISH PEOPLE--THE STATE OF ISRAEL. The following books are a MUST READ: 1. "Religion of Peace? Islam's War Against the World" [2006] by Gregory M. Davis. 2. "Why I Left Jihad" [2005] by former Islamist-Jihadist Terrorist Walid Shoebat. 3. "The Everlasting Hatred The Roots of Jihad" [2002] by Hal Lindsey. 4. "The Final Battle" [1995] by Hal Lindsey. 5. "Preachers of Hate" [2004] by Kenneth R. Timmerman. 6. "Militant Islam Reaches America" [2002] by Daniel Pipes. 7. "Countdown To Crisis The Coming Nuclear Showdown with Iran" [2005] by Kenneth R. Timmerman 8. "Atomic Iran" [2005] by Jerome R. Corsi. 9. "The Rage and The Pride" [2002] by Oriana Fallaci. 10. "The Force of Reason" [2004] by Oriana Fallaci. 11. "The Just Don't Get It" [2005] by Colonel David Hunt. 12. "Saddam's Secrets" [2006] by former Iraqi Air Force General Georges Sada.
54. Cynthia, but Ynet published your diabolical response
Jake   (11.17.06)
Israeli media and American media do not shy away from the other points of view, the way that Israel's enemies do. But now, allow me to retort. You are simply repeating the age old claim that Jews control the media and dictate to it what to report. That's just a worn-out blood libel. Everyone uses the internet nowadays, and all points of view are freely accessible, except as I said, that many of Israel's enemies deny their people free access to the internet. While your post is cheap, repulsive, and unfounded, at least it is given due representation alongside the others.
55. Cynthia, RE propaganda
Jake   (11.17.06)
"Our US media is subject to Israel's propaganda regarding its behavior in Palestine. The rest of the world is not. Israel spends billions to assure this by hiring to American PR firms. " The rest of the world is not only subjected to Arab proganda and lies, it is wedged inside an Arab vise that uses oil as a weapon, and threats of terror, violence, and mayhem if it does not clamp down on Israel. "Palestine" is not a state or an entity. It is a figment of your imagination until the Arabs agree to an equitable 2-state solution THAT INCLUDES A JEWISH STATE. No amount of lies is going to detract Israel from this goal, nor propaganda videos.

Margaret   (11.17.06)
Israel is not an apartheid state only someone with hostile feelings towards the Jewish people would say so. The land you are speaking of in the West Bank is "disputed territories",which Israel won in a defensive war. The Palestinians never had any sovereign state on any part of the West Bank. It was occupied through the centuries by many different nations but not the Palestinians. In fact,the West Bank[Judea and Samaria] was more a part of the nation Israel before the diaspora then Tel Aviv or Haifa the area inside the so called Green Line was,Jews have always lived in Judea and Samaria. Jews lived in Hebron for centuries before the whole community was massacred in 1929 by their Arab neighbors. Why should the Palestinian Arabs have any more right to live there then the Jewish people whose civilzation was born there? To say Jewish people can not live in Judea and Samaria is like saying American Indians should not be able to live in Oklahoma or Texas because the majority of people who live there are white and Latin Americans.It is nothing more then pure racism to say people should not be able to live somewhere because of their nationality or religion and that is a fact not a "taboo" as you put it dear.
