Why would anyone in Israel pay attention to JimmY Carter?

This guy is the “Father” of terrorisum.  Had this “moron” had the balls to lay Iran away for the hostage crisis, the islamic world would have know the consequences of terrorisum and hostage taking.  His abysmal failure emboldened the evil muslims and here we are today.

You Israelies are in the fight to the death with these arabs and persians.  Don’t lose sight of that or the last Holocaust will have beeen a walk in the park

Did I hear Jimmy Carter correctly when he said that the impediment to peace is “the large influx of Israeli settlements into the West Bank”?  That’s interesting, since there were no settlements before 1967, yet the Arabs attacked Israel from all sides in 1948, 1956, and 1967.  Why would they have done that if there were no settlements?  Answer: Jimmy Carter doesn’t know what he’s talking about.  He was without a doubt the worst president of the 20th century, possibly the worst US president of all time.  His judgment is totally off.  He clearly does not understand the Middle East.  The perpetual Arab hostility towards Israel is only the vanguard of the worldwide jihad against Western Civilization.  The Arabs cannot deal with a western-style country in their midst, especially because Israel is so successful and progressive.  The Arabs cannot cope with modernity and achievement, because they cannot compete effectively.  So “their best defense is a good offense.” By constantly attacking and feigning outrage and promulgating terrorism, they try to keep the focus of the world off their miserable and pathetic countries, their inability to achieve anything worthwhile, their lack of creativity, and their failed societies.  The religion of Islam is truly a curse, since it prevents a billion people from living in the modern world and choosing life, as it commands in Deuteronomy.

Two guys beat me to trashing Jimmy Carter, but Jon Stewart put it best when he refferred to Carter’s books as fiction.

Carter’s views on the middle-east are nothing short of delusional.
