Jimmy Carter to Obama: Recognize State of Palestine
Times of Israel ^ | November 29, 2016, 6:01 am | Eric Cortellessa

Former US president Jimmy Carter penned an op-ed in The New York Times Monday imploring President Barack Obama to formally recognize a Palestinian state before Donald Trump takes office in January.

Carter, who helped broker the 1978 Camp David Accords that brought peace between Israel and Egypt, argued the possibility of solidifying a two-state outcome between Israelis and Palestinians was dwindling because of continued settlement activity in the West Bank.

Carter’s controversial 2006 book “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” designated Israel an apartheid state “with two peoples occupying the same land, but completely separated from each other, with Israelis totally dominant and suppressing violence by depriving Palestinians of their basic human rights.”

While the 39th president did not reiterate his allegation of Israeli apartheid in his latest commentary on the conflict, he nonetheless cast full blame for its continuation exclusively on Israeli activity. …

Trump should let Obozo know that any such last-minute changes to US policy will be immediately repudiated and abolished on January 20, 2017.

The US public most certainly did not just vote for unilateral recognition of a Pali-terrorist state!!!

Jimmy Carter never quite went away, did he???

I saw an interview with him a couple of years ago, and he sounded like he was still bitter about the 1980 election. Decades later, he still can’t believe he lost to Reagan, and that the American people repudiated him.

So Jimmy thinks he and Obama can kill the Israelis. Eliminate those who they consider racist Jews. A final solution.

They could try to play a game like that but the problem is that the palestinian areas are not contiguous even in the West Bank

“with Israelis totally dominant and suppressing violence by depriving Palestinians of their basic human rights.”

Wow Jimmeh, just tell it like it is - recognizing the muzzie “right” to be their violent blood-cult psychotic selves. It’s the only “basic human right” they believe in or care about.

After the muzzie meltdown in Ohio today (yet another of thousands of muzzie meltdowns), I think Islam should be declared a disease like rabies and every effort made to eradicate it from the human race.

Once the palestinians have a state, they will be able to raise money from all over the world to create their own military.

evident, he wants to remain a solid second.

Or so he says. And that was with great reluctance anyway, due to the curative drug coming in part from Israel.

Carter and Obama and soros may never go to Hell. Satan won’t let them in. He’s afraid they’re way way too damned evil for Hell, they’ll wreck the place like they’re wrecking America

Somewhere along the line the concept of “Paleostinian Rights” came to mean the right to kill Jews and Israelis without retribution.

Jimmy Carter and his national security advisor Zbig Brezhensky were hardcore anti-semites and while Carter help user in HAMAS control in Gaza, Zbig coached Obama in 2008 about how to run a ruinous Foreign Policy...

To Jimmy Carter: F U!

Why is it that the aholes who messed up things the most are the ones that interfere the most? Been waiting years for Jimmy Carter to shut his trap. Now we’ll have both Jimmy Carter and Barak Obama whining together. Yuck.
