31. Not Fair World !!
Ali ,   Gaza   (04.14.08)
Carter should go further steps tward the near the hell what so called Gaza to see the real rockets effect ...Destruction reached to Trees, housing, animals, children women, every thing on the ground was target for israeli military machine , dosens of victims ...world is not fair
32. Richard and Natan
Zeal ,   Zionist America   (04.14.08)
Richard: I have to disagree with one aspect, and that is of Israeli opinion regarding Gaza. I went to the Israel National News and a poll and it found (of some three and a half thousand) that only a measly 1.8% want to conduct negociations with most favoring retaking Gaza, ground operations, or intensified airstrikes. Just a thought. Natan: No I believe your logic is quite twisted; Hamas is the reason Gazans are suffering? Meaning the sanctions/ seizing of tax revenues after it won the parliamentary elections and the siege after they routed Fatah is all their fault? And the truckloads of money sent to Fatah is somehow because they do not want their citizens to suffer? Or is it outside forces/ international bodies that are trying to depose Hamas as the representative of the Palestinian people through means that inevitably cause Gazans to suffer? The weapons (tanks, apaches, etc...) that kill hundreds of them annually were manufactured where and by who exactly? Think about that before you have another temper tantrum buddy. It will do you loads of good.
33. GREAT MAN CARTER- YOU MAKE AMERICA PROUD
USA   (04.14.08)
and we all know the game of the jews to try to stain you with 'anti-semite" that heckle doesnt work anymore. and its shows how ugly THEY are.
34. Non't forget Carter is very friendly with gay movement

35. #33 - "You people"
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (04.14.08)
The wording of your feedback says much about you. The "game of the Jews," THEY are," all that is quite familiar jargon with YOUR ilk always lumping peoples into one stereotypical role: I am quite confident you also refer to all African Americans as "those blacks" or to Hispanics in the US as "them s*&" You are what YOU are: a racist, bigot, and YES anti-Semite. I understand why you and jimbo are so tight!
36. Not one qassam during carter visit
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (04.14.08)
Of course not - hamas wouldn't want to hurt their leading spokesperson
37. Richard UK
Natan   (04.14.08)
The world has had enough with "Palestinian suffering"...The Palestinians had many opportunities to live in peace with the Israelis and they screwed up each opportunity going back to 1947 and earlier. Hams has gone against Fatah because they were afraid that a peace agreement can be reached, this goes against Hamas ideology which does not recognize Israel's right to exist. And, by the way, since you know so muach about the middle east, why diidn't the Palestinians have an "Intifadah" against Jordan bewteen 48 and 67?

Any Israeli talking to that carter deucebag is making themself's look stupid. Take carter to the airport tie him and his wife to a wing and drop them on some arab land. from 5,000 feet. Of course without a parachute!!

Invicta ,   Europa   (04.14.08)
You forgot to mention referring to all Palestinans as 'Pals' or 'terrorist'. Another stereotype.
42. Suicide
John Silver ,   Lakeland, USA   (04.14.08)
Poster #31, Firing primitive rockets at someone 50x stronger than you, from a boxed in position and confined in such a small space is suicide. If that is how you would describe an "unfair world" then you have dealt it upon yourselves.
43. #37
Invicta ,   Europa   (04.14.08)
That's an interesting hypothesis. The Palestinians screwed up the chance to live in peace when they were being evicted form their homes. They had the audacity to resist being killed and herded into refugee / concentration camps and by doing so missed an opportunity to live in peace. The land was being stolen, they were thrown from their villages. Palestinians are denied freedom of movement and are routinely expelled, killed, bulldozed or imprisoned behind large concrete walls. You forgot to mention that bit.
44. juma bin carter!
oded   (04.14.08)
aka jimmy the red carter has no pleace in israel.. the worst president in us history has no place in .. history but as the war mongor , enemey- lover, and the ex- president who can't find any solace in his dissasterous ex presidency. carter go home to palins ,ga. and eat a penut or two!
45. Qassam rockets are a crime.
Uzziel   (04.14.08)
In your view they are a crime because they are lobbed by Hamas which is the actual ally of Iran as opposed to the Saudis that pay you huge sums. And talking about receiving huge sums to divert the US policiy in the region..Are receiving bribes a crime in your country?
46. what Carter did not say is more important
observer   (04.14.08)
He did not say that killing Palestinians in not crime.
47. MEETING WITH HAMAS IS A CRIME.

Typical "blame everyone else" except your self...." And, no , i have no sympathy for self destruction for which the Palis are famous for.. Refugees for over 60 years, wow!!!! breaking all records
49. "forced", #28?

Are all of your synapses firing, Rich?
50. #34-We need a scorecard to stay up with you
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (04.14.08)
One day you're a "Messianic Jew"; next day you condemn Jews for not bowing to YOUR christ; Now you attack the gay movement (with which many of your favourite people were part of. Your hypocrisy in the name of your make-pretend religion is showing!
51. President Jimmy Carter means well. He needs to hire a
Rivkah   (04.14.08)
Madison Avenue public relations firm to get better publicity. And he needs to do things God's way which is to oppose the Philistines and help the Jews. He should read the prophecies of Zephaniah to understand God hates the Philistines and loves the Jews who are Jews in their hearts.
52.  BILAAM NUMBER 2 OR THE DONKEY?
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (04.14.08)
ANYWAY,WHO WOULD NOT WISH HIM SUCCESS IN SECURING ALL OUR CAPTIVES HELD IN ARAB HANDS,,,."HA SHEM "HAS WAYS SOMETIMES UNBECKNOWN TO US!
53. #46 Yes, he should have said that to Hamas and Al Qaeda!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (04.14.08)
During their terrorist coup in Gaza, Hamas murdered more palestinians than terrorists killed by the IDF since Israel left Gaza. And worldwide, millions of Muslims have been murdered by their "brothers" - many more than terrorists eliminated by Israel, USA, Phillipines, Singapore, India and the Allies in BOTH Iraq wars. But who cares for as long as the Moon God's documented thirst for blood is satisfied!
54. #51 - Palestinians are NOT "philistines"!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (04.14.08)
That's a common error. Palestinians and Israeli Arabs are descendents of Arab slaves, soldiers and merchants who followed the flood of the Arab invasion forces in their quest to drive out the Crusaders from the Holy Land. Even during the Roman Empire times when Tiberius conquered Judea, Tacitus, the official Roman Historian who documented the "deeds" of the Emperors, refered to the Arabs as NEIGHBORS of the Jews. BTW, these Arabs joined the Roman Legions and helped them rape Judea. Do a Google on the subject and you'll find out that Arabs'place was always what is today Saudi Arabia - NOT Israel. These Arab squatters have no right to the Land of Israel any more than the early European Settlers had on Indian Lands in the Americas, or on Blacks Lands in Africa.
55. What else could he have said?
Phil ,   US   (04.14.08)
Even the most rabid antisemite(Arab antisemites excluded) have to admit that randomly targeting civilians with rockets is not such a nice thing. Even "people?" like Invicta and Richard from London do not say trying to kill as many Israeli civilians as possible is morally defensible. Instead, they excuse and justify it by demonizing Israel. So with Carter, he had no choice but to describe the attacks on Sderot as despicable. What was he supposed to say-that the rocket fire on Sderot was proper?Remember, even nazis do not defend the murder of 6000,000 Jews by gassing, burning, starving, etc. They simply deny the Holocaust ever hapened. Carter's strategy is to work for the destruction of Israel while pretending to be impartial and fair. Thus, his accusation of apartheid, his hundreds of factual errors in his book, and his visit to Hamas are part and parcel of his desire to weaken Israel and bring legitimacy to Israel's enemies.
56. Carter wrong again
mike ,   Seattle USA   (04.14.08)
Jimmy Carter is wrong again. The missiles fired by Hamas from the Gaza Strip into Israel are not a crime. They are an act of war.
57. Pompous phony
Joe Rugby ,   USA   (04.14.08)
If Carter thinks that negotiating with Hamas, a group sworn to the destruction of Israel is proper, why didn't he fly to Iran and negotiate with the Ayatollah during the hostage crisis? Instead, he sat in the white house with a hound dog look on his face and gave the go-ahead for an ill-planned and stupid attempt at freeing the hostages by force. His motto is do as I say, not as I did.

Zeal ,   Zionist America   (04.14.08)
((The world has had enough with "Palestinian suffering"...)) And since when has Israel, some people in the US and Europe become "the world?" Sorry buddy: the world does not revolve around you. ((The Palestinians had many opportunities to live in peace with the Israelis and they screwed up each opportunity going back to 1947 and earlier)) Just as long as most of them were expelled, their homes seized, and their rights trampled. As your kind says: Yes to peace, no to Palestinians. ((Hams has gone against Fatah because they were afraid that a peace agreement can be reached, this goes against Hamas ideology which does not recognize Israel's right to exist)) Hamas has gone against Fatah because collaborating with you know who always ends up with somebody important dying; a chief collaborator was Mohammed Dahlan. ((And, by the way, since you know so muach about the middle east, why diidn't the Palestinians have an "Intifadah" against Jordan bewteen 48 and 67?)) Simple: the Jordanian rule was not nearly as draconian as Israeli rule. Immediately after seizing Gaza and the West Bank, 30% of Gaza and 50% of the West Bank was seized for military and settlement purposes and thousands of homes were destroyed, some of whom on the orders of Ariel 'the bulldozer' Sharon; remember that the first intifada errupted twenty years after the Six Day War, longer than the Jordanian occupation. "Typical "blame everyone else" except your self" No, I put blame where it belongs buddy. If I was doing what you were doing I would blame Israel for the rocket attacks on its citizens. "And, no , i have no sympathy for self destruction for which the Palis are famous for.. " Well good, but see if you will win any sympathy when if and when it happens to you. Self destruction? What a hypocrite... ((Refugees for over 60 years, wow!!!! breaking all records)) Refugees who are denied their right to return to their homeland for sixty years, yeah that's quite a record at least for the twentieth/ twenty first century.
59. #58 So much undocumented Islamofascist propaganda...
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (04.15.08)
..coming from a phony aliased demagogue. "Zeal" - if you are so busy cutting and pasting, at least back your claims by some PROOF, and don't hide some inconvenient truths like how come that the palestinians in Jordan planned to murder King Hussain as a thanks for his "hospitality", and in return they got Black September - yeah! THAT was a not a "draconian" rule, eh? And yes, pity that "your world": revolves around the self-inflicted "sufferings" of a people who elected a terrorist organization bent on the destruction of Israel to represent it. But you know that already since your quotes are taken right off teh propaganda book of the Hamas! It's signature and foul stench is all over your post, hiding behind a seemingly "educated" English. Maybe the "world" does not revolve around Israel but it is certainly quite keen of demonizing it, fueling disinformation, slogans and demagogy just like you do! But donrt worry, as you see, we fight back and you will not prevail whatever you do, and the more you do it, you expose more and more the vicious, treacherous and murderous face of Islam.
60. Doc, #59
Zeal ,   Zionist America   (04.15.08)
Oh dear, that last post must have hurt 'some people around here. Cutting and pasting? Nope. Give you a source? Well that could come from lots of different areas, but since I know you would not waste one moment reading them I will not waste one moment to give you this response: LOOK IT UP BUDDY! Regarding Jordan, I'll reiterate what your friend said: ((And, by the way, since you know so muach about the middle east, why diidn't the Palestinians have an "Intifadah" against Jordan bewteen 48 and 67?)) Black September did not occur in the West Bank or Gaza, nor did it occur between 48 and 67. Next you said (in a fit of rage): ((And yes, pity that "your world": revolves around the self-inflicted "sufferings" of a people who elected a terrorist organization bent on the destruction of Israel to represent it. But you know that already since your quotes are taken right off teh propaganda book of the Hamas! It's signature and foul stench is all over your post, hiding behind a seemingly "educated" English.)) First of all, self-inflicted? I guess that must also mean that rockets are falling from the sky to hit Sderot and Ashkelon: they too must be self-inflicted. And connecting it to what you said, these rockets are your main propaganda train to justify every one of your heinous crimes in Gaza, even though such deeds occurred right after Hamas won the parliamentary elections and intensified when Hamas routed Fatah. Do not blame others for your actions whose design is only to advance your agenda; your doing so is absolutely pathetic, but unfortunately normal among people like you. As far as the international community goes, you really are exaggerating the extent that which Israel opponents have power; if it were as you portray it there would be sanctions for your 200 nukes/ settlements/ siege etc... And as for the last paragraph, but you know a lot about Islam, don't you buddy? In fact your rotten attitude seems to point to your side as "treacherous and murderous." Spare me your stupidity, buddy, and shut the heck up.
