31. "historic deal". Its deal no ???? between these 2.
Rebecca ,   Modi'in   (05.04.11)
And is likely to end the same way - with one lot arresting and shooting the other, and the other throwing the first off tall buildings. Yes why not recognize such loving behavior.
32. Carter an embarrassment to US/Humanity
EZ ,   US   (05.04.11)
Carter is a thug, anti-Semite, coward and EXTREMLY DANGEROUS for the security of the world. If things went his way, there would be death in the streets of the most civilized nations every day. It would be very nice if be would shut up and mind his own long string of failures.
33. Carter= Horrible Leader
Yakov ,   Tel Aviv   (05.04.11)
Jimmy Carter was the worst US President for at least 100 years, and rated as one of the worst of all US presidents, ever. He boasts a long list of failures, and was one of the few Presidents to serve only 4 years. So, what? Why would anyone take this man seriously? All he has is a long list of failures and evidence of poor judgement? The man was irrelevant as President, and at least as irrelevant today. Who asked him to comment on this? What and how does he feel empowered to have an opinion that is significant. Who is he speaking for? Jimmy Carter is over 30 years removed from the US Presidency. He wants to remain a voice in world politics, but lacks any validity. Stop printing his dementia, let him fade away, as his mind did so very long ago.
34. Who would have thunk one day I will agree with Carter?!!
Dan the Jafa ,   Auckland,Aotearoa   (05.04.11)
The world absolutely has to back the unity government of those eulogizing dead Osama and those who Israel is supposed to negotiate peace with.
35. I am Carter's age, and ashamed I ever voted for him!!
Zeev ,   West Palm Beach, FL   (05.04.11)
The man is truly an anti-Semite. All the more reason why we must be careful of Obama.
36. deeper to history
petr vojta ,   prag   (05.04.11)
Nobody buys this "crap" about "chosen people, eternal strugle, God as Realestate agent etc", its time to mark the borders and since Israel is reality, to 1967 borders would be still big success for Israel. To eliminate treat, I suggest peace keeping force to Palestine and Israel, but Israel has to be disarmed especially from illegal WMD. Etnocracy with rasist elements has to be replaced by democracy. Jews in Iran are not in danger, only Israel bombs may kill them....
37. It went horribly wrong
petr vojta ,   prag   (05.04.11)
Embarrasment to humanity is regime of Israel. World regrets already the day when UN voted for creation....But it was to be home for people who suffered..., not for people bringing suffering to others. When you look back, can you be proud for horrrors colonisation brought upon innocent people??? Were the Palestine people responsible for ww2? If any responce, pleace not nonsense about "chosen people or God as Realestate agent"...stick with international law!!!
38. CARTER IS A TERRORIST - put him in jail !
Jaacov Baumann   (05.04.11)
He who supports terrorists is a terrorist himself - pretty simple ! He should never be allowed to enter Israel !
39. 2 states WB and Gaza
Dan ,   RG   (05.04.11)
They already have 2 states, One is "The West Bank" of Jordan, and so called because it is part of the Hashimite Kingdom. The other state is Gaza, which has been a city-state and crossroads between Africa and Europe/Asia for a very long time.

41. voting dem
jonathan ,   great neck   (05.04.11)

42. to # 37
fad egypt   (05.04.11)
the land of so called palestine belongs to the jewish people it is the religious , historical land of the jewish people and their forefathers it was given by god to the forefathers of the jewish people abraham , issac and jacob and their children ( the jews) as a covenant forever the land wasnt named palestine until the roman occupation and it was named palestine by empror hedrian to remove any link between the jews and their land there was no any arab or muslim existence in the land of israel until the seventh century when it was occupied by the muslims in 1948 it was liberated by the jewish people in the war which started by arabs due to their refusal of the recognition of israel all the land which controled by israel israel , west bank and jerusalem and the golan heights and formerly gaza were part of the british manadate of palestine which was given to the jews as the national home of the jewish people in the balfour declaration and it was approved in san remo agreement in 1921 in 1923 the league of nations approved by a majority that palestine be the national home of the jews there was agreement between emir faisul son of hussein ibn elsherif king of hejaz and weizman the zionist representative that palestine be the national home of the jews and that was in paris in 1919 and also in jerusalem in 1922 with the blessing of winston churchil the british minister the local arabs refused to accept the jewish control so they started violence and terror against the jews and carried out many massacres against the jews hebron massacre safed massacre tiberies massacre and britain violated its promise to the jews ad prevented the jewish immigration in 1938 so the holocust happened in europe and six million jews were killed by the nazi while the arab immigration to palestine was increasing due to the economic stability when the situation between arabs and jews were out of control britain decided to leave palestine after handing over the issue to the UN which divided illegaly the land into states arab and jewish states the jews welcomed the decision although it was unfair to them and a violation of the 1923 league of nations resolution but the arabs refused it and launched a war against israel and many many arabs living there decided to sell their homes to the jews and returned to their original countries promised that they one day will return to palestine after the destruction of israel those were called the refugees the arab countries expelled more tha million jews from their homes from 1948 to 1967 although they were loyal jews the arabs launched many wars against israel to destroy it but the victory was israel`s and that because israel is the will of god in the world god bless israel shalom
43. Hamas-fatah
Non ,   Westbank   (05.04.11)
I'm speaking of a Palestinian point of view that we don't want hamas, I hope they don't make unity government, Hamas are all ignorant and have no commen since, israel should clean them out of gaza so we can have peace.
44. I agree in unity!
Moshico ,   Jerusalem   (05.04.11)
There can only be unity when the Arabs recognise that Israel exists until then Carter can kiss my ass.
45. Carter is just as dangerous to Israel as Al Quada is to USA
Essie HaKohane ,   Florida, USA   (05.04.11)
He is just as determined to destroy the Jewish State!
46. Carter can go to Hell
Brod ,   USA   (05.04.11)
Israel can tell Carter to go to Hell for meddling in its internal affairs. At his age he should be resting at home or in a nursing home, instead of traveling the world crusading against Israel. Carter's knowledge of history, the Holy Bible and Biblical Archaeology is zero. He is an AntiSemite driven by hate and intoxicated with the cesspool of Islamist-Jihadism.
47. America's Worst President
DavidM ,   CTUSA   (05.04.11)
Nobody should listen to Jimmy Carter. He was America's worst president. Carter degraded the U.S. military to the point where it couldn't find 6 working helicopters to rescue the hostages in Iran. He has never met a terrorist he didn't like and has just praised the dictator who is starving the people of North Korea.
48. Any wonder why he was a 1 term President?
Eli ,   norfolk, va   (05.04.11)
49. #37
jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argetina   (05.04.11)
Do not forget that Checzslovakia were also an artifitial state create after WWI. You can say the same about you country. At least Israel has the gut to defend herself. Remember the Munich conference in 1938. Please stop making idiot propaganda. You are qworthless to be a checz citizen
50. Carter: are you sad that your friend osama was killed?
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (05.04.11)

55. Carter
The guy   (05.04.11)
From what I understand, Carter is a lone fool. Somebody will take him. He collects peanuts and since nobody wants him, he has to keep the world alive by using his "in famous" name. What a clown! he's probably frustrated without a "wummen"
56. petr vojta prag - #37

Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (05.04.11)
Well they enjoy a hell of a lot more democracy than any Arab in any other Arab country.
59. Jimmy Carter is a great man * an honest american
christianpalestinian ,   las vegas   (05.04.11)
Obama and the american people should listen very carefully to what Carter says.
60. POOR STUPID CARTER
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (05.04.11)
Here are a couple of nice quotes from this article: "while Palestinian Authority dismisses international demands that Hamas recognize Israel as 'unfair, unworkable' "unfair, unworkable to who? Why is it Israel always has accept all the BS, while the Pals get a pass on everything. Abbas state:""We will not demand that Hamas recognize Israel" Then why should Israel have to negotiate with a government that acknowledges they don't recognize Israel as a state? It makes no sense? One of the criteria for for a people to be considered for an entity, is that they honor all International Laws and honor all past agreements. Both The Oslo Accords and the Declaration of Principles were very clear on this point. Israel was "recognizing the PLO, as the sole legitimate representatives of the Palestinian people" in exchange for, the PLO and Yasser Arafat "were recognizing Israel's right to exist within recognized borders and to live in peace". In addition the deal included the PLO "renounce all violence, inciting and terrorism, and that negotiation would be sole way of resolving all outstanding issues." So now we have a new government, not the PLO, and the new government is not going to honor any past agreements. So International Law is in violation by this entire affair. Naturally Jimmy Carter would back anything that's pro-Pal, even if it violates International Law. After all it's well known he's taken over $20 million dollars from the pro-Pal groups (that was thye last figure about 7 years old). So if you say AIPAC buys power, it would hypocritical to say Carter hasn't been bought by the Arabs, right?
