The only right the Palestinians have is in this area marked by the circle

Perhaps sensing that he would soon have to relinquish his position as America’s worst ex-president, Jimmy Carter reminded everyone last month how he earned the title with yet another call for the U.S. to recognize a Palestinian state. Carter’s call is a departure from American diplomacy, which insists, per UN Resolution 338, that an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement can only be reached through negotiations “between the parties.”
Carter’s presidency was mired in bad foreign policy decisions, and his post-presidency has been marred with excusing terrorism, attempting to revise history, and meddling in the affairs of every subsequent occupant of the White House, especially where the Middle East, which Carter considers his forte, is concerned. At each stage of his post-presidency, he has advocated on behalf of the Palestinians and against Israel, a nation he considers an apartheid state.
The Carter presidency is notable mostly for its failures: a 21.5% prime interest rate, the aborted April 1980 mission to rescue American hostages held in Iran, and dreary speeches to the nation, like the “crisis of confidence” or “malaise” speech. The only bright spot, and the one achievement upon which he has built his post-presidency reputation, is the Egyptian-Israeli peace deal known as the Camp David Accords. Were it not for that lone foreign policy success during his presidency, few would listen to Jimmy Carter today.
Unfortunately, Carter gets too much credit for Camp David. He almost botched the whole deal with two ill-advised strategies: bringing the USSR into the negotiations and insisting on a comprehensive deal that would create a Palestinian state.

Carter is a muzzy. Has been for many years.
I easily predict that after leaving office Obama, like Carter, will reveal himself to be an even wilder leftist. If only we had a media to discuss what frauds these “democrats” are.
Dead link
More like Jimmy Carter’s lifelong pursuit of being the Antichrist.
There Was Never A Country Called Palestine

If you consider Palestine to be a “Sovereign” and “Independent” country that goes back through most of recorded history as many would have you to believe, then a few questions need to be answered:
•When was it founded and by whom?
•What were its borders?
•What was its capital?
•Who was the President?
•What was its form of government?
•What were its major cities?
•What constituted the basis of its economy?
•Who was the Palestinian leader before Yasser Arafat?
•Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation?
•What was the language of the country of Palestine?
•What was the prevalent religion of the country of Palestine?
•What was the name of its currency and what was the approximate exchange rate of the Palestinian monetary unit against the US dollar, German mark, GB pound, or Japanese yen on any particular date?
•And, finally, since there is no such country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur?
The Jimmah Cahtah & the Cahtah Centah was bought and paid for by the Saudis years ago.
Why is anyone surprised ?
There is a small, but determined, group among “Evangelical Christians” who are still determined to blame the “Jews” for crucifying Christ and they are virulently anti-Semitic.
Forget that Christ Himself was Jewish, and came to earth specifically to die for the sins of all mankind...let’s just go on a witch hunt and destroy Israel, whom God has said over and over again is the “Apple of His eye”.
I suspect that Jimmy Carter is part of this faction and actually thinks that he is doing God’s work...but then, foreign policy was never his strong suit!
[... have to relinquish his position as America’s worst ex-president, Jimmy Carter...]
..have to relinquish his position as America’s 2nd worst ex-president, Jimmy Carter..
There, fixed it.
There is already a `Palestinian state’. It’s called `Israel,’ a small strip of land in the Levant.
Anyone not happy living in the palestinian state can move to one of the huge states that surround it.
Jimmah has been ecstatic lately, seeing his title as `Worst Former President’ going soon, hands-down, to our current seminiferous, cracktilian, buttnoidal, craptastic failed `rat figurehead.
[but determined, group among “Evangelical Christians”]
Jimmy Carter is not a Christian as he abandoned the doctines of the Christ given to the apostle Paul in the Word of God before he was President of America. Evangelicals are bible believing Christians and know the Word of God is solely in the Scriptures alone and so much, perhaps more that 50%, of todays Christians doubt or deny these doctrines given to Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles in the New Testament, though a few of his contemporaries God the Holy Spirit inspired to write the epistles and all were Jewish. Luke has not been determined to be Jew or Gentile as the Jews had been dispersed the first time aound 600 B.C.
For being a professing Christian, he doesn’t seem to be much of a bible student.
Evangelical Christian/ anti Semitic.......does not equate.......even in small batches.
Try again

My impression of Jimmy Carter is that he not only considers him to be a “good Christian”, as evidenced by his many good works (which are in actuality filthy rags) but that he considers himself to be doing God a great favor by picking and choosing winners (Palestinians) and losers (Israel) that God doesn’t have the sense to figure out on His own...which is why Carter continues to ascribe noble motives to those who do not deserve it and to heap scorn on those who are not as “enlightened” and “tolerant” as he!
I will never forget the contempt on his face at Ronald Reagan’s funeral - so much very Un-Christian anger directed at a man who clearly knew the Father in a way that smug, self-righteous Jimmy and Rosalynn never had, which probably explains the obvious failure and success of their specific presidencies!
There is a reason that I put “evangelical Christian” into quotes...
