When in doubt, blame Israel at least that seems to be the habit of Americas least respected former president.
In the wake of the Islamist terror attacks in France against cartoonists and Jews, former President Jimmy Carters first reaction was to pin the motivation for such terrorism on Israels 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 whats being done to them. So I think thats part of it.
Carter didnt 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 States 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.

That may be true, but it was against Israel. Attacks against Israel were well established. The attacks were by Palestinians and not the general Islamic population which is what we have today.
