1. An evil evil man and a false Christian.

2. "ISRAEL PREVENTS ANY FERTILIZER"
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (09.05.09)
Into Gaza ,said the senile old twit Jimmah Carter.And why would that be? duh,it does not take Albert Einstein to figure out what Gazans use fertilizer for.
3. Carter conceded in his anti-Semitic book...
Steve   (09.05.09)
..."Palestine Peace Not Apartheid," that he himself is the beneficiary of apartheid, murder, ethnic cleansing of Cherokee and Creek American Indians. Carter wrote: "I have to admit that, at the time, I equated the ejection of Palestinians from their previous homes within the state of Israel to the forcing of Lower Creek Indians from the Georgia land where our family farm (is) now located; they had been "moved" (actually forcibly expelled) west to Oklahoma on the "Trail of Tears" to make room for our (my) White ancestors." (page 27-28)
4. Please exit, stage left
Sarah B ,   New York City, USA   (09.05.09)
First of all, you are in no position to judge what Israel wants and does not want. You are persona non grata in Israel, and no Israeli official with decision-making power would spit on you, let alone talk to you. Just go away. You've been around far too long already, Go tend to your peanuts and quit pontificating on subjects which you cannot possibly understand. Look at what you allowed to happen in Iran. And you could not even bring back the American hostages. When you tried, you failed dismally, remember? (Should have asked Israel for help. We did, after all, run the Entebbe operation.) I think you are just still jealous.
5. Carter an obvious propagandizer, but why does he lie?
JPS ,   Efrat   (09.05.09)
Carter claims the settlements are "rapidly encroaching " on the Palestinians. "Rapidly"? Says who? There has been almost no growth in Israeli settlement area in the past few years, so to say "rapidly" means that Carter is simply lying to push his point. You'd expect his definition to mean that all the settlements have been expanding at a rapid pace and taking over the Palestinians en masse. Nothing could be farther from the truth - Carter is simply a liar on this one. But he's already a known liar about many things dealing with Israel. He's also getting so much Arab money that he feels that he's paid to not mention any of the Palestinian atrocities, war crimes, or official policies that are clearly against peace and the 2-state solution.
6. was this supposed to scare us?
sam   (09.05.09)
I DONT CARE NEITHER WHAT CARTER THINKS NOR THE PALESTINIAN LEADERS. WE DONT NEED NO PEACE.
7. Israel is was and will be one state former president Carter!
Johnny ,   Stockholm Sweden   (09.05.09)
Got that former?
8. Peanut Jimmy
Filipe ,   Leiria, Portugal   (09.05.09)
More words of wisdom from Peanut Jimmy! There was good reason the US Democratic Party kept a tight lid on the box they put Peanut Jimmy in during the Obamessiah presidential campaign----you're just never going to know what will come out of this guy's mouth until it's too late! He should learn to mind his own business--- the farm needs tending to and plenty of poverty and poor people in Georgia that could use a job raisng peanuts! Too bad he hasn't resalized how irreleveant he has trully become since he totally screwed up the Us economy and the Iran hostage crisis. The whole world laughs at this fool ! Reminds of "The Emperors New Clothes". !!
9. Israel wants Carter to shut up
the voice of peace   (09.05.09)
10. Of course, the Arabs have enough states (22!) of their own
Shalom   (09.05.09)
no need for them to also occupy this one tiny strip of Jewish land called Israel, which included Yehuda and Shomron, known as Judea and Samaria.
11. President Carter
Bill M. ,   Denver, CO   (09.05.09)
Israel can control everything here in the United States except for the one and only real "Man of Truth" we have left in the country. There is a reason the rest of the world calls President Carter in when they want an intelligent and honest person between sides in disagreement, because he can tell the truth. All you can do is try and throw stones at the person shining the light of truth on you evil doing.
12. Carter let the 12 million mexicans that live in the US vote
American   (09.05.09)
why not aren't they living in your country? does that makes them citizens? NOT why give a couple of million arabs that stole Israel from the Jewish people a vote? let them go back to the arab countries they came from there they can have a vote!
13. Let them live in Jordan where 95% are palestinians
Historian   (09.05.09)
Why steal that small piece of land that always belonged to the Jews?
14. that is the only thing left
Palestinian ,   jerusalem ,Palestine   (09.05.09)
Arrogance and ignorance are ( man's worst enemy ). Israel will face the consequences of having a one state solution .. Will change the name to Palestine very soon . 300,000 US jews lost to interracial marriage last 2-3 years in the US . This is heading in the right direction according to the Prophet speech PBUH . Pres Carter is an Honest observer ,he is an outsider telling the Israeli their mistake in plain english ..Of course they won't like it ..
15. Arabs Want Uninational State
emanon ,   USA   (09.05.09)
All theirs, without Jews and without Israel. So . . . Whose plan is worse?
16. Just give him a cookie and he'll go back to sleep.
Etoile ,   Lincolnwood, IL USA   (09.05.09)
17. prez
gd green ,   boston, ma   (09.06.09)
the former prez seems to conveniently forget that the large southern border of gaza -- AKA EGYPT -- does not open borders to provide an emergency supplies
18. Carter
JerusalemKid ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.06.09)
The former President makes some good points! If we do not create a Palestinain state in the short run....Israel is doomed as a nation in the long run!
19. Carter claims he saw a UFO
Matityahu ,   Slovenia   (09.06.09)
So this isn't his first hallucination. Does he remember how he missmanaged the whole Iranian revolution thing back then? I mean, the guy was a disaster when it came to foreign issues. And now he's an American spokesman for innocent terrorists.
20. An honorable ex president
Haider ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (09.06.09)
I don´t know, according to Steve, what is anti semitic in what he quoted from Carter´s book? You who keeps on blaming any criticism of the Israeli policies of beeing anti semitic. Get a brain. Carter is voicing what any rational and intelligent person in the world believes is going on.
21. Jimmy Carter needs help
(09.06.09)
He has obviously lost his marbles; hes going senile in old age. Hopefully his family realizes this soon and puts him in an aged care home, or even better, a psychiatric institution. In the meantime, the Israeli Government needs to put Carter on the blacklist of people who are banned from entering ALL of Israel, including Judea and Samaria. The Israeli Government has the right to decide who may enter this country and the terms of their entry. End of story.
22. Of course he wants one state
Steve from Raleigh   (09.06.09)
A state of Hamas and piles of smoking Jewish corpses.
23. #1
Harold ,   Syracuse, USA   (09.06.09)
Jealousy, Jealousy, Jealousy. The whole world respect Carter except somebody like you and your followers. Carter is a man of peace and he is saying the truth. Occupation and illegal settlements are against international laws. Obama made a great mistake by not appointing Carter as his Middle East envoy. He started the peace process and he has to complete it. You better wise-up and don't through stones on others because your roof is made of glass.
24. #11
Harold ,   Liverpool, USA   (09.06.09)
Well said and true. Those who are against peace talk against Mr. Carter who is respected by the whole world except Israel and her followers.
25. Carter and tutu want no state
Arie ,   BaGolan   (09.06.09)
With his constant pronouncements and Anti-Semitic diatribes, carter may as well come out in the open and admit he wants no Jewish State. The only thing carter is sorry about is that he wasn't around to enjoy the glory of his mentor, adolf "i like my peanut butter crunchy" hitler
26. Cheap shots at Carter
Marcos ,   Massachusetts, USA   (09.06.09)
The above talkbacks show how hard it is for Israelis to face the fact that Israel is a ruthless oppressor of Palestinians and an illegitimate occupier of their land, and how easy it is for them to fire cheap shots at a decent man who dares to remind them of that fact. As an old Jew I am ashamed.
27. There really is only two options, one stat or two
Mr. Peanut ,   USA   (09.06.09)
Carter is once again correct in stating the obvious in that unless Israel agrees to halt settlement construction and define a two state solution now, a single state is the only remaining solution; one where Muslims would quickly become the majority. I personally don't understand why the Palestinians don't just vote to dissolve the PA and wave the white flag surrender right now. Once they admit their homeland was conquered by Israel, Israel would be the one burdened with providing them with food, housing, healthcare, and as a the only democracy in the Middle East, full and equal citizenship. BTW - Anyone is still fooling themselves with the notion that Israel will be allowed by the international community to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians, or that they will voluntarily move to other countries, needs their head examined.
28. Carter the loser is still talking.
Janet Keno ,   Baltimore   (09.06.09)
Didnt he do enough damage in USA? Carter couldnt handle Iran. He loves muslims, maybe thats why americans had to suffer 444 days.
29. If only he was right...
shmuel ,   washington, DC   (09.06.09)
If the Palestinian leadership truely emulates Martin Luther King and Ghandi than we will have peace in our part of the Middle East. Sadly, for the last century the Arabs have chosen the path of war with the jews. Did Carter not hear Bibi's several months ago? Did he not hear Fatah's response? We are all frustrated by this war, but Carter has to keep his eyes on the ball and place the blame where it belongs. Arab rejection of the Jewish State's existence.
30. Incomptent As Always
Watcher ,   Denver USA   (09.06.09)
Right behind Bush on the failed president list and still gushing foolishness.
