RE: Carter: Speaking frankly about Israel and Palestine
Jimmy Carter opines: "It would be almost politically suicidal for members of Congress to espouse a balanced position between Israel and Palestine, to suggest that Israel comply with international law or to speak in defense of justice or human rights for Palestinians."
What international law is Carter talking about??? And who's fault is it for the lack of human rights for the Palestinians??? Does Carter even acknowledge how much money his pal Arafat personally pocketed in aid money that was meant for the Palestinians??? Does Carter acknowledge that the Palestinian leadership wants the complete destruction of Israel??? Carter is a fool...
"Although I have spent only a week or so on a book tour so far, it is already possible to judge public and media reaction. Sales are brisk, and I have had interesting interviews on TV, including "Larry King Live," "Hardball," "Meet the Press," "The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer," the "Charlie Rose" show, C-SPAN and others. But I have seen few news stories in major newspapers about what I have written."
Yeah, what interviews when he's only asked softball questions. I don't know when he wrote this but quite a few newspapers are now writing about what he has written... He's now being accused of being a liar and a plagiarist.
"The book describes the abominable oppression and persecution in the occupied Palestinian territories, with a rigid system of required passes and strict segregation between Palestine's citizens and Jewish settlers in the West Bank. An enormous imprisonment wall is now under construction, snaking through what is left of Palestine to encompass more and more land for Israeli settlers."
Does Carter say why this is so??? It's because the people in Israel are tired of getting blown up with bombs on people, in cars and buses, etc. In the areas where this wall has been built, terrorist acts have pretty much been eliminated.
"The ultimate purpose of my book is to present facts about the Middle East that are largely unknown in America, to precipitate discussion and to help restart peace talks (now absent for six years) that can lead to permanent peace for Israel and its neighbors. Another hope is that Jews and other Americans who share this same goal might be motivated to express their views, even publicly, and perhaps in concert. I would be glad to help with that effort."
The only way to have peace in the Middle East is to have a winner and a loser. The reason both Jordan and Egypt have peaceful relations with Israel is because Israel defeated them in war when both of those countries attacked Israel. It's that simple...
