1. jimmy carter does support palestinian apartheid, though
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (12.16.06)
the way they treat all non-muslims and women as inferior beings is the REAL apartheid. but we won't hear jimmy say a negative word about that. give these people a state so we can watch the oppression become state-sanctioned. what a hypocrite.
2. Carter's Biggest Folly
Ezekiel 36 ,   Israel   (12.16.06)
Carter's fear of debating Dershowitz and his statement that Dershowitz knows nothing of the situation in Israel, is an admission and a proof that his facts are biased and his moral position cannot be justified. Carter, a Christian Sunday school teacher, apparently has no understanding of the prophesies in the Tanach which clearly favor Israel in this era.
3. Jimmy Carter is back tracking now,
Ido ,   u.k.   (12.16.06)

5. you are an antisemite, Mr. Carter!
Dave ,   us   (12.16.06)

10. Read This One Jimmy
Raviv ,   Israel   (12.16.06)
Martin Luther, a Christian theologan, wrote a tract in 1543 entitled “Against The Jews And Their Lies” out of his frustration of failing to convert the Jews of Europe to Christianty. Hitler and the Nazis later used this tract in 1939-1945 to justify the holocaust. What an irresponsible and ignorant act of publishing such a one-sided book. Mr. Carter at you next Sunday school lesson, please teach Romans chapter 11 and read Ezekiel 36 as the background for the lesson.
11. A Book of Lies: Did Saudis Pay Him?
Semsem ,   New York, USA   (12.16.06)
It is a book full of lies. He denies that Barak offered a Peace plan and ignores Clinton's confirmation of this. He glamourises Arafat. He does not mention the 1 million Jewish refugees forced to leave the Arab countries. He didstorts history. Am convinced the Arabs pay the Carter Center.
12. This is astonishing from a former president
Steve ,   USA   (12.16.06)
Carter wrote that "apartheid" in "Palestine" is based on the desire of a minority of Israelis for Palestinian land. I don't know this to be true. Maybe a desire for Jewish land? Why does Mr. Carter call Israel Palestine? I wonder if the former American president knows anything about American history; about President Andrew Jackson, his Indian wars and the Indian Removal Act of 1830; about President James K. Polk; Manifest Destiny: the belief that the United States had a mission to expand, to spread democracy and to overspread the continent. I cannot remember any time Carter advocated returning Texas to Mexico or giving up California, Nevada or New Mexico. What gives with this scholar? He won't even debate a lowly Harvard professor? He calls the professor ignorant.
13. Carter is trash, failure and a strident anti-Semite

15. J.Carter
Birdi ,   Israels   (12.16.06)
Jimmy Carter can lace his words as much as he wants,the bottom line is clear for all to see.We Jews are not "his cup of tea"
16. Carter is A-F-R-A-I-D of Dershowitz
aaron ,   ra'anana   (12.16.06)
17. Jimmy carter is Benedict Arnold of the peace process.
(12.16.06)
18. Carter - Dhimmi of the Year
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (12.16.06)
Yes. Carter won the coveted "Dhimmi of the Year" award from Jihad Watch. Take a look at the site & see for yourself. The man is an apologist for terrorists & a prime example of hypocritical Israel-bashing.
19. why didn't peanut brain write about
jerome ,   basalt, co   (12.16.06)
the Palistinian suicide, homicide, murders in his one-sided prejudiced book of bullshit. what a moran to say that Deshowitz doesn't know enough about the situation with palestine. that prove that he doesn't know shit because there is no palestine! only terrorist, terrortories!
20. Some sanity, at last!
Wolfram ,   USA   (12.16.06)
Jimmy Carter is perhaps not the first American statesman to see the Israeli-Palestinian issue clearly, but he is the first to express it honestly. American politicians know better, but they grovel for the Jewish vote and Jewish campaign contributions. Israeli politicians know better, but they are are afraid to reverse a disastrous fifty-year-old policy ; they don't know if the Americans will fork over the billions of dollars they will need to repatriate 200,000 colonists. Most Israelis know better, too, but land greed outweighs morality. And so the dance of death plays on...
21. Poor Jimmy!
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (12.16.06)
Jimmy's trying ever so hard to, still, be relevant, and it's not working too well. You can take the man out of Plains, GA, but you can't take Plains, GA out of the man. They do, after all, have giant, killer rabbits down there, not to mention UFO's. 'Nuff said.
22. wolfram #20
Kapara   (12.16.06)
Colonists!??? When the arab world made the deliberate decision in 1948, 0956,1967,1973, (etc.), to make war against israel....should they not have live with the results of their decisions? Should they not pay a price for their actions? Should they not be held to account for their actions? Or do you always hold jews more accountable than arabs? Is it because you don't believe that arabs can ever be held to account for their actions. Somewhat racist on your part I would say. My family and about a million other jews that were ethnically cleansed from the arab world as a direct result of the arab decision to make war instead of peace had to live in a tent city in israel for nearly 11 years after we arrived with nothing in 1949. So if the jews are ethnically cleansed from the palestinian areas...does that mean we get our property back in iraq/iran/syria/morocco/tunis/egypt/lybia/algeria/yemen, etc.???? Will you help remove the arab family colonizing my family's home in yemen?

Please keep your money wolffram. Let us keep our land.
24. colonialist
toni ,   sabme   (12.16.06)
hey no20 is that a comment about the article or a slam of american polititians. Carter is a dreamer cant blame him for that . but he is so lacking in the knowledge of islam that he is disqualified as to any lasting solution . we debate everything but the truth.dance of death? that is a dance for muslim nut jobs .
25. Jimmy the Peanut Brain
Mary ,   USA   (12.16.06)
he had too many peanuts in his youth which contributed to his hallucinations regarding world peace, just ignore him and he will go away
26. Carter utterly UNABLE to REFUTE Dershowitz' TRUTH
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (12.16.06)
Humanity-hater, Jew-hater, LIAR Carter would never dare to debate Dershowitz - a man of truth and honor.
27. Excuse me, Carter is an embarrassment!
Amy ,   USA   (12.16.06)
Jimmy Carter IS an embarrassment to me. Thank goodness, I didn't vote for him as a President because years ago, I was very very naive about politics. My parents, strong democrats, love him to bits!!! They thought the world of him trying to save the world from destruction. As I got older, and got politically smart. I watched Jimmy's opinions from Chavez to Israeli's so-called apartheid. Well, he is out to destroy the world. He is the most Anti-American, Anti-U.S. constitution, Anti-life, Anti-Israeli. He loves anything opposite! He has the most dangerous ideology ever. I hope his wish will be granted - be buried in plains, georgia and his time will come. What's more - he is a chicken to participate in debate with Dershowitz. Bah, buc, buc, bah!!
28. Mr. Peanut gets his due!
Robert Goldman ,   cooper city Florida   (12.16.06)
turns out this book is so filled with lies that the America public is tearing it apart! should have stuck with housing the homeless!
29. Is it senility?
SR ,   NYC   (12.16.06)
Dershowitz knows nothing about situation in Palestine? And Carter does? He still doesn't understand that he was lucky to have men like Sadat and Begin to work with to reach Israel-Egypt peace treaty in 1978. Jimmy Carter's noble efforts would not have been nearly enough to do that. I think he's still sore for not getting his Nobel Peace Prize.
30. Carter explain's...
Kemp ,   Nahariya Israel   (12.16.06)
This ex President is a perveyor of hate and lies about Israel. I would think people who are Bible believing Christians woudl publicly denounce both the man and his book. If Carter reads a Bible he must have mistaken it for the Koran
