This is wonderful news . . but I am not surprised Jimmy Carter has worked hard for peace in the Middle East . . to all those who haven't read Peace Not Apartheid . . I urge you to read it . . .

the West and the Israelis have demonised Hamas and Hezbollah for far too long and often unfairly . . the problem is zionist israel . . . the only suicide bombers I have ever felt sympathy and empathy with are the Palestinians . . . make no mistake israel is committing genocide and for all those biblical apologists . . . if god gave the israelis their promised land why did he allow them to lose it . . .was it because of their actions . . .

I am with the Jews who say the existence of israel is contrary to the Talmud . . . unfortunately it is there . . . the best solution long overdue is for israel to return to its pre-war 1967 boundaries . . .

Thank you Jimmy Carter . . Thank you Hamas

5 months ago, who could have imagined that the Obama adminstration would see Carter has more of a headache to deal with than Bill Clinton. Oh, the irony.

[Macready]

[jordanispalestine]

Hamas is the ONLY Middle Eastern group who pays any attention to Jimmy Carter!

[MotherMiasia]

AND democratically elected.

[arle]

Yeah, keep lobbing insults at Americans. That's scoring Israel big points with us.

[Sentientbeing09]

and the Israels listen to noone except their own selfish ambitions.

[Sentientbeing09]

Whereas Israel listens to nobody except their own selfish interests.

[LeeCalif]

Very Good !

Jimmy who?

[arle]

I can't imagine why anyone thinks Israelis are insular and their supporters are blind.

[azriel]

Hey Jimmy, I love you but--didn't you pull this stuff in the past when you traveled to a country considered an enemy of America and make deals& give speeches. Come on Jimmy, what are you doing.? Did you get the admn's approval to go to a foreign land and intervene in the peace process?

[amalfedup]

The enemies of America were in power for 8 years. Carter has always had the best interest of his country in mind. He tried to get us to move away from fossil fuels long before it was hip.

[arle]

Maybe if there were /actually/ a peace process in progress right now, that would matter. Have you been paying attention to the rhetoric coming out of Israel? Here's a nice article for starters:

Jpost is to Israel as Fox News is to _________?

[riverhouse]

Everyone recognizes President Carter as an honest broker.

[Macready]

totally agree with you riverhouse . . . Jimmy Carter has worked hard for peace in the Middle East . . . if there are some of you who have not read his book Peace Not Apartheid . . I urge you to read it . . .

[Cosmic-Zantor]

Whatever you think of Hamas, the simple fact is they are a group that has to be dealt with when it comes to providing a solution and creating a Palestinian state. Carter has been doing good work over there.
