31. Thank you Mr. President!
Sean ,   Montréal, Québec   (09.06.09)
He states the obvious and the talkbacks can do little more than sling mud. In spite of the paranoia expressed here, criticism of Israel does not make one an anti semite. Sadly, some people think that the injustices committed against the peoples of the First Nations of North America, should somehow give them carte blanche to do the same to the indigent population of Palestine. It does not. The former president is beyond reproach when it comes to honesty. Perhaps the real complaint is that he is not as malicious and hate filled as so many of the talk back contributors.
32. Carter
Rob ,   USA   (09.06.09)
We know he is a propagandist, a liar, and now add senility to the mix and what do you get, a raging confused lunatic!
33. Carter is Father of Islamic Terrorism
Dan ,   Titusville, FL   (09.06.09)
The noted luminary Jimmy Carter has given the world modern day Islamic terrorism. He should be sued by every victim of Islamic terrorism. Carter is too feeble to understand that he has no standing to criticize Israeli building new settlements just as Israel cannot comment on new construction in Plains Georgia. When a country wages war they put at risk their resources, their treasury, their national treasure and their land. Five time the Palestinians attacked Israel and have lost and just as the United States took possession of CA, AZ, NM, and Texas after the war with Mexico, Israel has clear title and ownership of the West Bank and our undivided Capitol of Jerusalem. The Palestinians have a lovely seaside resort of Gaza. They may live in freedom in Israel or enjoy the Islamic enlightenment of the regime in Gaza but the West Bank and Jerusalem are no longer theirs or part of any discussions. In fact Jimmy Carter can run for President of Gaza and hopefully the Muslims terrorists there will do for him what they did for Danny Pearl.
34. Actually we DO want 1 state. A palestinian FREE state.Carter
2give them jobs on ,   his peanut farm!!!!!   (09.06.09)
35. Carter should be trialed for creating Khomeini and it's
grandchild,Hamas. ,   NY,USA   (09.06.09)
36. Shakespeare, he's not
Sarah B ,   New York City, USA   (09.06.09)
Prior to "Palestine: Peace, Not Apartheid" (note use of "Palestine" as distinct from "Israel"), Carter wrote only one other book. Do you know what it was called? I will tell you: "The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer." Look it up.
37. THE SADDEST PART -HE ACTUALLY THINKS HES DOING YESHUAS WORK
Andrew ,   Miami,FL   (09.06.09)
I REALLY THINK THAT IN HIS HEART - HE HASNT MADE THE CORRELATON BETWEEN THE BIBLE - THE PEOPLE AN DTHE LAND = ISRAEL
38. one state better than two = no (Jewish ) state
bezalel ,   tel aviv   (09.06.09)
we follow G-d's commandments, not those of the nations who plan our destruction. clearly a 2 state solution is a path to destuction of the Jewish state for 2 reasons: [1] the new arab state becomes another gaza and/or lebanon and given the topography of the judean hills and those of samaria, a Jewish state becomes impossible to defend. [2] by giving away the promised land, we fail to show faith in following G-d's commandments and we all have learnt the severe punishment that is clearly roadmapped in the Torah, viz destruction of the Jewish state. So, the only chance for securing the future of a Jewish state is to annex all the land between the jordan river and the medit sea. Anyone, arab or whatever, who becomes treasoness gets expelled. Only Jews get to vote-others get "green cards". There are plenty of modern day examples of this-try every arab state in the middle east for starters. Try Japan.
39.  of course ,one state!
OZ   (09.06.09)
and that state is israel, home for world jewery . j.carter has shown his anti- israel bias ime and time again, by writing books , visiting the terrorists in gaza and rammalah and wrinitng editorial peices in newspaper- basically achieving nothing,but disdain , loathing and redicule. even obama, who is not too far behind this penut of a man in his anti- iarale views, chooses to stay away from carter, for now. carter will do all of us a favor and disappear!
40. Carter, America's embarassment
Murray of Montreal   (09.06.09)
If the man was worthy of being president he would have given Iran an ultimatum within 24 hrs of the overtaking of the US' Tehran enbassy. He was a failure as a president and is a failure as a person.
41. insanity
David Benson ,   Seattle USA   (09.06.09)
Damn right! The Jews have owned it since they stole it from the Canaanites.
42. #14, Palestinian
Anna ,   Montreal, Canada   (09.06.09)
You are listening to the false prophets.
43. Carter is due for a prostate examination - HAMAS STYLE!
(09.06.09)
44. To Bill in Denver
David Rosenberg ,   New York, USA   (09.06.09)
How about mentioning some truth about yourself. The United States is built upon the greatest holocaust and land grabbing by European colonists in world history. The American settlers stole an entire continent and yet liberals and Israel bashers such as yourself like to point your hypociritical dirty fingers at Jews taking back a few miles of their homeland from the Arabs who have 22 states of their own. If you call that evil than what do you call yourself?
45. 3 Steve: Mr. Carter's ancestors claimed the promises of God
Rivkah   (09.06.09)
just as the Jews in Israel are doing. God promised the descendants of Jacob the land of Israel in the Middle East and a great nation to Manasseh and a multitude of nations with the gates of their enemies to Ephraim. The descendants of Manasseh and Ephraim who migrated to Britain mostly claimed North America for the British Commonwealth. They fought wars to establish their rights to the lands God promised them. Reuben (France) was disinherited by Jacob for cruelty to animals and France sold the Louisiana Purchase the the descendants of Manasseh. They gave Canada to the descendants of Ephraim after a war. Manasseh also claimed California and Texas and other areas that had Spanish land grants to others. God is a King of Kings and that is higher than a King of Spain or France. God's will came to pass and Manasseh became a great nation (USA) and Ephraim became a multitude of nations with the gates of their enemies (British Commonwealth). The Jews have a Promised Land, too, well established as a promise of God in the Bible and they are fighting for it with God helping them. The Palestinians have no such claim and are calling God a liar by claiming the land He gave to the Jews. It is like Indians claiming lands in America God gave to the descendants of Manasseh, not to Oriental migrants called Indians.
46. Obama maybe force to act soon, even if he doesnt want to
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, USA   (09.06.09)
With Israel seeming to be pushing for one state were non-Jews will be forced to leave at some point, that leaves the US with few options. Obama will be force to use the UN soon and declare Palestine a state based on 67 greenline borders or give up on Roadmap. With most the world against Israel on this issue including EU, Russia and China, this could weaken Israel over time. The US may soon start rearming Iraq and stop arming Israel, while Israel could afford to buy weapons and fuel it would be costly over time.
47. Question is what does Israel really want? is he partly right
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, USA   (09.06.09)
If the building continues then there is little or no hope for a 2 state solution. That leaves one state only and if the Palestinians remain then the state can not be Jewish. That means all the non-Jews should go to Gaza or Jordan and use the freed land for Jewish settlers. This will lead to war but Israel always wins.
48. Presidential Failure...
Matthew ,   Chicago, IL, USA   (09.06.09)
Carter was a disasterous failure as a president and has tried to re-write his legacy. He hasn't succeeded. He just needs to stay on the peanut farm where he belongs.
49. President Carter: Why didn't Sadat take Gaza?
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (09.06.09)
You brokered the Camp David Accord. Begin did not want Gaza which was "Occupied" by Israel and nor did Sadat. Why didn't you insist the Sadat take Gaza as it was Egyptian territory before June '67? The reason is that you are a bigot and an anti-Semite hiding behind that face of goodwill. No doubt you would be one of those who say "some of my best friends are Jews but they are not welcome in my club!" Mr. President, you call Israel an "Apartheid State". Do you know what Apartheid was? Actually, you don't and believe you me I do - I lived under it for 40 years! You are so full of your holier than thou attitude but you did not impose US Sanctions on South Africa. Now, you must explain to the people of South Africa why you failed them during your term of office! Tell your friends, “The Elders” why you failed! You are an old man who screwed up the USA. You couldn’t even get your people out of Iran! You made a fool of your own country and now you are trying to atone for your failure as President by using Israel as you whipping boy! WE will not grant your wish to see the State of Israel destroyed and those “pesky” Jews annihilated! Just remember one thing Mr. President. Arabs, not Jews, flew those planes on 9/11/2001 and I am sure they will do it again and rejoice as they do each time and American Soldier is killed in Iraq or Afghanistan!
50. Who is funding Carter ?
Michel ,   Jerusalem   (09.06.09)
The Ford foundation is funding Carter. Don't look after any balanced position..
51. The worst President of USA
Claude ,   Brooklyn USA   (09.06.09)
Carter is the worst President the USA have ever known. During his mandat, the dollar has never been so weak, the economy was collapsing face to Japan, and He is personnaly responsible for the arrival of extremists in Iran. Now that he is retired, his main hobby is to explain to jewish people that they don't deserve their own state..and how to commit their own suicid by creating three palestinan states (one in gaza, on in jordan and one in judea and samaria). Above all, it is necessary for him to accept the right of return for every arabs in Israel. Shame on him.
52. #10
observer   (09.06.09)
Jews live in 160 states, and sit in parliaments of 10 countries; there are or were Jewish premier ministers in France, Russia, Austria etc. In the Jewish state, there are no goy ministers, and goyim – whether Christian or Muslim have no full rights, even if they were born there.
53. carter is an UNELECTED anti semite & Obamas mentor
zionist forever   (09.06.09)
This failed EX president thanks he has been divinely sent to solve all the conflicts in the Middle East and he knows better than everybody else on the solution. His book Peace Not Apartheid are not based on well researched facts or backed up by evidence alot of the time its his personal opinion propoganda he is trying to sell as fact. In 2008 he visted Arafats grave where he laid a wreath and said: "Yasser Arafat fought for the advancement of the palestinians and other just causes in the world " He is a member of the UNELECTED so called Elders who have appointed themselves as the people who are going to sort all of this. Its also been a well known fact that for decades the anti semitic penut brain has wanted a binational state as his preferred solution. He condemns Israel for its blockade of Gaza but he doesn't have even one word of criticizm for Hamas and their actions instead he went to pay a diplomatic visits to Ismail Haniyeh & Khaled Meshal. Carter is not a diplomat looking for a fair peace he instead wants to be a spokesman for terrorists and Israel bashers.
54. So what's new?
Norman Gellmann ,   Rehovot, Israel   (09.06.09)
We know Carter's bent towards Gaza. What is needed is a massive protest to the Washington Post for publishing his article.
55. One state is death to Jewish state, mr Carter...
John ,   Europe   (09.06.09)
Israel would have to exterminate Palestinians in such a state to prevent their natural growth. Or to force them out of the state. What would be... bit problematical. 2 state solution without right of return and Jerusalem as Israel's capital - in return for "open boarders" policy between states + heavy financial reparations for Palestinians are the only way. Al Aqusa stays until earthquake or thunderbolt - i.e. G-d Himself - does not destroy it and shows His will that he wants to come back.
56. Carter go back to your peanut farm.
Wise Saba ,   Netivot   (09.06.09)
Your opinions mean nothing. Barak Husein Obama will be a one time looser just like you.
57. Dhimmi Carter - give back your farm to the Native Americans
Roscio ,   Rome, Italy   (09.06.09)
He is a superannuated paid messenger boy for Islamic Imperialism. His hypocrisy knows no bounds, and he is a traitor to the US, the West and to his own Christian religion. His true deity is Arab oil money, which owns him utterly.
58. Actually, Carter was an excellent President
Joe the Plonker   (09.06.09)
Excellent for the Mullahs, radical Islam, enemies of America, peanut sales, political cartoonists, and the toothpaste industry in general.
59. CARTER: THE WORST PRES. EVER - NOT AN OUNCE OF BRAINS
Scott ,   Australia   (09.06.09)
This guy is living proof that anyone can be President. I cannot think of another person that so completely bereft of commonsense as Jimmy Carter. A complete and utter fool.
60. Journos and elitists are very interested in JC's words
Rami   (09.06.09)
No one else cares - we already knew what he was back in the 70's when he gave away America's assets including Iran and the Panama Canal, among many others. Conservative authors at the time clearly delineated the case for JC being a radical and a communist. Just like Obama today, gee what a co-inkydink.
