Carter replies to Abram’s reply-UPDATES http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/carter-replies-to-abrams-reply/ Jimmy Carter "takes exception" with the "Take Exception" piece Elliott Abrams wrote about Carter’s original Washington Post op-ed suggesting that if Israel does not move quickly in the West Bank, it will be facing the unpalatable prospect of a single state with the possibility of a Palestinian majority. (Eric noted the earlier argument here.) en-us rkampeas@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-09-09T;18:36:01-05:00 Comment by Paul Winter winfamly@bigpond.net.au Thoroughly digusting is additionally thoroughly ignorant. Under the Palestine Interim Agreement (1995), Israel has control over the seas outside Gaza. If the Hamas goons don’t like it, they can call of their war. It is just as well that anonymous does not reveal his name, otherwise he would reveal himself as a fool. Carter was president 1977 - 1981 and the Iranian revolution was in 1979, during his no action administration. As for road blocks, etc they only went up when the Arabs took to the war path in 2000. No terror, no hardship. And yes, it is antisemitic to demand that Arab hardship be eased through the spilling of Jewish blood. When the Arab start to behave like civilised human beings instead of glorying in depravity when they stop regarding the Jew as a second rate dhimmi and they start to keep their undertakings, then there will be peace, road blocks will go and hardships will cease.

Egypt alone decides this based on its security concerns. Jimmy Carter should blame Egypt for denying Gazans proper medical care and for treating them as untouchables.

A statue of him should stand in front of Evin Prison in Tehran, and the mullahs should bow in gratitude every day to the Carter statue.

Public kerry.berger@gmail.com I agree with John Shook’s comments that Carter needs to shut up and let the current US Government deal with Israel and the Palestinians.  Carter’s credibility since he took funding from the Arabs is compromised.  His language, calling Gaza a “ghetto” ignores that it is the Hamas Government itself that is making things difficult for Palestinians through their own intransigence in not renouncing violence.

This poorest excuse for a president is an anti-Semite, senile and irrelevant. Accordingly, he deserves to be ignored and relegated to the trash heap of history, certainly not given the honor of an editorial or the recognition of a response. The only reason he can still smile his toothy grin is, that the current occupier of the White House is on track to be worse than him. ‘nough said!
