John ,   Harrisburg, PA USA   (10.19.10)
Please take a long rest.... Please don't write any more worthless books, Please move to Palestine or Gaza or Syria or Iran.... and take Hussein Obama with you. You guys are brothers. You raised peanuts... too much time in the field. Your are a nut!
32. Carter
j.bergman ,   Brooklyn N.Y.   (10.19.10)
It is time that someone will tell the failing ex-president to retire and stay home. He is not helping anybody, for that matter he never did.
33. Mr. Carter right after the US talks to Ben Laden
Mark C   (10.19.10)
34. My man !!! ,...
split ,   USA   (10.19.10)
An endangered speciman (with cojones) I wish those traitors in US Congress and Senate got the balls to say "no" where they sould.
35. The "cage" has a door
Arie ,   BaGolan   (10.19.10)
It's called PEACE! But neither Carter nor his Hamas / Saudi overlords see that as a viable alternative.
36. Jimmy Carter
Robert ,   Fernandina Beach USA   (10.19.10)
While I did not vote for Jimmy Carter never did I want a president-elect to succeed more than him. He was a total failure in that office, an embarrassment--and still is an embarrassment to the U.S. Sadly, I feel the same way about this nation's sitting president. Stand firm Israel and stay strong remembering: "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven..." Ecc. 3:1
37. "C.AGE" = CARTER , AGE
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (10.19.10)
38. Dear Mr. Carter
Alan Simanowitz ,   Elazar, Israel   (10.19.10)
Dear Mr. Carter, What about the Children of Sderot and Gilad Shalit? Who is looking after their Human Rights?
39. FUNNY KIND OF CAGE
Mark from Geogia ,   USA   (10.19.10)
With newly built swimming pools for the kids, upscale shopping malls, fully stocked food courts, upscale places to eat, heck some places rival Las Vegas style eating establishments. Gaza is far from a cage. But last time Carter wrote a book he called it an "open air prison", a remark most people laugh at now since the pictures of the real Gaza have come to light. So now he only calls it a "cage". Oh well, I wonder how much more money he has taken since his last book. BTW he never mentioned anywhere in the book that he had taken such vast amounts of money from Arab sources, an interesting omission, wouldn't you say? So apparently there is no shortage of cement, unless the Palestinians are using glue and cardboard to put these things together. But it is great PR from Jimmy Carter...who has taken well over $20 million dollars from pro-Palestinian sources, and that was at the time he wrote his last book. One he was ashamed to ever debate in front of anybody who was knowledgable about the Middle East. He refused to appear and debate the book, that says it all.
40. I challenge Jimmy Carter
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (10.19.10)
Go to Gaza and Damascus and convince Hamas to join the peace process. I'm betting my money on two things: a-Carter not going to Hamas at all and b-if he does meet them, Hamas will never agree to negotiate full peace with Israel. Any takers? Yo Mr. President? You up to the challenge? Or are you going to stay inside your own gilded cage?
41. I have a man crush on Jimmy Carter
Nate ,   USA   (10.19.10)
I applaud Mr. Carter as he is someone who looks at this problematic political/religious situation and bases his own opinion after sitting down and hearing both sides. He never allows anyone to influence his own opinion and he is absolutely right by saying the Palestinians are living in a cage. This man has a heart that is hard to find in this day of age. He doesn't want money, glory, fame or a good reputation. He just wants to do good. For everyone who calls Mr. Carter an anti-Semite is simply in denial and needs to have his head checked. There are different ways in dealing with Hamas and enforcing a blockade on 1.5 million Palestinians isn't the right approach. Not only is it wrong in a humanitarian aspect, it's also against international law. Since 2007, ask yourself, has the blockade in Gaza benefited Israel in any way, shape or form? Just yesterday I read an article that said Hamas has obtained anti-aircraft missiles. I have also noticed over the past few years that they are much organized and have kept relatively quiet. To read they have obtained more advanced weaponry just goes to show a bigger power is certainly advising them and assisting them in becoming much more powerful everyday. It is well known history repeats itself so just look at what happened in Lebanon from 1982-2000. If the Israelis really want peace and want to solve this issue once and for all, they must come to the table with every Palestinian organization regardless of their viewpoints. Instead of bashing Jimmy Carter, use your critical thinking skills (if applicable) and have an open mind. Thanks for reading and God bless. At the end of the day, we are all human beings hidden behind something termed as "religion." Humans must look past religion for the better good and to secure a better future for the next generation. Salam/Shalom
42. #34 Split. You're backing a dead horse. He can't even rise
Harry Wright ,   UK   (10.19.10)
to the occasion. The arrogant geriatric fool thinks he is God's gift to the Pals people. Every time he opens his mouth, horse sh** comes out. Don't think for one moment he has any credibility where it counts. He is just tolerated for the posistion he held once upon a time, a position for which he was so unsuitible that the Americans could not wait to boot him out of it. So really, you are just grasping for straws.
43. Syria the land of the free
Ron ,   Melbourne, Australia   (10.19.10)
At least he is consistent. His location for his 'freedom attack' is Syria. The land of the 'free' - 'free' of any freedoms, free of any non-discrimination, free of any consideration to kurds and other minorities (sorry they consider them so much they keep arresting and torturing them) - Got to love this guy and worry about the long term effect of peanuts......
44. And how is that different?
Yitzhak ,   Dallas USA   (10.19.10)
Christians believe yeshua is g_d and Muslims believe Muhammad is a prophet of g_d. These two belief systems are completely incompatible with Judaism and the idea that Jews will be defended by any of these religions is laughable. Carter is a Christian and all Christians believe that Jews will accept yeshua as g_d, this is the same old story so spare me the difference.
45. Dhimmi Carter is a jackass!
Wise Saba ,   Eretz Yisrael   (10.19.10)
Go back to your peanut farm & chase rabbits, that is where you belong.
46. I just saw pics from Gaza
Golan ,   Modiin   (10.19.10)
Carter is either an anti-Semite or ignorant. Considering his track-record I'll bet on the first one.
47. Whatever happened to his mea culpa a few months ago?
Essie HaKohane ,   Florida, USA   (10.19.10)
He is still an anti-semite after all these years (and one of the worst presidents in US history).
48. Yitzhak #4
Brod ,   USA   (10.19.10)
Your knowledge of Judeo-Christians and true Christianity is zero. There is no need to spew your ignorance on the subject. You should read the entire Bible to be enlightened.
49. Jimmy's legacy.....Ayatollahs and OPEC
tony ,   canada   (10.19.10)
It's difficult to assess what a failure this President was.
50. 5 - sara, you are an idiot, give it a break and get a life.
Dr. no   (10.19.10)
51. The cage doesn't stop Pals from importing missles
Steve ,   Atlanta USA   (10.20.10)
52. Cage ( ? ) has rockets ??
simple man ,   USA   (10.20.10)
Mr Carter is not antisemite, but he is blind to antisemite rhetorics of Hamas, and Islam. Same grand mistaker of Iran affair. What makes you Mr Carter that this time you are correct, and not making another grave mistake? Offer appology for giving birth to Khomeinism, and let the people fogive you, naive man.
53. and you live in fantasy land, carter
jared ,   orlando   (10.20.10)
indeed, a cage of their own making, senile fool
54. #41..WELL WRITTEN BUT CONSIDER THE FACTS
ABRAHAM ben KACOB ,   CANADA   (10.20.10)
EX. PRES CARTER IS AN EX- BIBLE PREACHER . HE OF ALL PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW FROM HIS BIBLICAL STUDIES THAT THIS LAND OF ISRAEL IS JEWISH LAND, NOT PAL'N ARAB LAND. CARTER REALLY IS SAYING THAT THE BIBLE IS WRONG IN SAYING THE LAND IS JEWISH, HEBREW ISRAELITE COUNTRY. BUT CARTER PRESENTS A RADICAL VIEW NOW DESPITE HIS BIBLICAL KNOWLEDGE. HOW CAN HIS PAST LEARNINGS AND TEACHINGS NOW BECOME REVERSED, TOPPLED UPSIDE DOWN AND RENDERED AS OBSOLETE ? CARTER HAS HAD A MIRACULOUS TRANSITION AND A REVELATION THAT PREFERS FICTION OVER FACTS.
55. I have an idea
Rick ,   NY, US   (10.20.10)
Let's put Carter in a cage and make sure that he doesn't come out of it.
56. hold steady
alexi   (10.20.10)
carter continues to earn millions with arab money and spouting propaganda. Gaza is not a prison yet it is the result of hamas enforcement that limits it. Israel is not there. You know the story. Now, getting back to carter, he was responsibe for iran's khomeini taking power without response by the iran armed forces. On top of it. Like gutless olmert, he screwed up the american hostage rescue by not sending enough helicopters. So he abetted iran's murder of over 3000 people since 1079.
57. easy solution mr ex pres
Real vision ,   usa   (10.20.10)
convince hamas to become non violent and renounce violence and accept israel's right to exist in peace and security for perpetuity and get schalit back. Then you may have earned one ounce of credibility to suggest anything. As of now Mr carter you are an embarrassment to the US for talking with murderers and terrorists. They are killers who think nothing about killing jewish babies and women.
58. Jimmy Carter might be living in a zoo.
Zoologist   (10.20.10)
59. TO THE SECOND WEAKEST PRESIDENT
LARRY ,   USA   (10.20.10)
itIT IS ALSO AGENST INTERNATIONAL LAW TO PINT AND FIRE ROCKETS AT CIVILIANS ACROSS INTERNATIONAL BORDERS KILLING CHILDREN IN KINDERGARDEN WHERE ARE YOU CARTER TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH ABOUT THAT. YOU ARE THE SECOND WEAKEST PRESIDENT IN US HISTORY .STAY HOME AND READ A BOOK
60. he must have gotten paid again to say that
rachel ,   usa   (10.20.10)
