Jimmy Carter Blames Recent Terror Attacks On ‘Palestinian Problem’
Daily Caller ^ | 12:22 AM 01/13/2015 | Jamie Weinstein

When in doubt, blame Israel — at least that seems to be the habit of America’s least respected former president.

In the wake of the Islamist terror attacks in France against cartoonists and Jews, former President Jimmy Carter’s first reaction was to pin the motivation for such terrorism on Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians. Appearing on “The Daily Show” Monday, Carter was asked by host Jon Stewart whether the violence the world saw on the streets of Paris was actually fueled by something else other than Islamic extremism.

“Well, one of the origins for it is the Palestinian problem,” Carter replied. “And this aggravates people who are affiliated in any way with the Arab people who live in the West Bank and Gaza, what they are doing now — what’s being done to them. So I think that’s part of it.”

Carter didn’t explain how solving the Israeli-Palestinian issue would in any way resolve the violent conflicts currently engulfing the Arab world, including the Syrian civil war, the Islamic State’s takeover of part of Iraq and its brutal implementation of Islamic law, and the conflict between the Egyptian government and the Muslim Brotherhood, just to name a few. Nor did he detail how the “Palestinian problem” helps explain why three French Muslims murdered innocent French Jews buying groceries for the coming Sabbath and cartoonists preparing the next issue of their paper.

How come it took so long for him to start blaming the Jews?

Next step: blame Bush (he invaded Iraq and set up Guantanamo). How come Obama hasn’t blamed Bush yet?

The innocent people murdered by jihadis have just been buried, and carter opens his jihadi-loving mouth. I knew the left wouldn’t be able to wait long before blaming the murders on the innocent people.
The left has a deep and abiding love with the towelheads and thinks they can do no wrong.

Great photo!

Carter has been a hand puppet of the Opecker Princes and Islamofacists, who kill anyone who disagrees them.

Carter hates Israel and real Jews like his Islamo buddies/Obama.

That's where I would go. That seemed to be the point where terror first came on the world stage. That was the point where America showed vulnerability to radical Islam.

It's not the "Palestinian problem." It's the Jiminy Cricket Carter appeaser problem.

I thought Carter died. No? Good grief!

Jimma Carter, when he was president, was a jew hating stupid man. And until Obama the worst president in our history.

Now, Jimma is still a stupid jew hating asshole. The only difference is that now he wears Depends.

Carter is just trying to get his place back as “The Worst President Ever” after he has been upstaged by Obama. Two of the most anti-American scum that ever lived.

Why are the Castro brothers still kicking? Why is Kim Il Sung’s dynasty still going? Why is there such evil all across the world?
