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. …

He’d probably hear him talking on the phone, too.

Former US president Jimmy Carter needs to have a little talk with Jesus. Israel is God’s land . . . in fact the whole world is God’s. What part of that doesn’t he understand? Who knows what he was teaching his Sunday School class?

Since two of the communist goals from the list in Chapter 12 of The Naked Communist were to subvert religion and subvert education, I would say Mr. Carter was on the front lines of both.

May Jimmy Carter live long enough to see that recognition of a Palestinian “state” will never happen. And that he will pass away with that knowledge.

To recognize scattered portions of the West Bank as Palestine would be like announcing that scattered parts of California are now Mexico.....

Oh wait!....Maybe that is already happening. LOL

Leave it to the dumbest POTUS of all to make this horrid suggest (and plea) to the Marxist Muslim POTUS in his waning days.

Go ahead, Barack.

But, be ready for the consequences and your legacy.

...and most of all the Pali’s themselves didn’t vote for it and wouldn’t even if given the opportunity.

Someone ask the old fool - or any like minded young fool - to draw an outline of ‘Palestine’ on a map.

Dear Jimmy,

Fidel Castro died.

Take a hint.

Love, Laz.

I look at Jimmah Carter as the ‘Bernie” from ‘Weekend At Bernies’ movie. He really is dead-—only he keeps popping up here & there again & again.

I suspect Obama has the same plan for the rest of his life-—keep bad mouthing America.

Is it not so that Terrorist states are not normally recognized.

So now we have Carter, still alive - via a medical miracle - with cancer metastatic to his brain, asking lame-duck Obama to recognize a Palestinian state.

Now how can even Obama recognize a Pali state when there is no Pali state to be recognized at this point? And not even the Palis have been talking about a state lately, only directing perpetual terror attacks against Israel.

Is Carter demented from his brain cancer, or is this merely a continuation of his previous fondness for the Palestinians and antagonism toward Israel? Probably a combination of both.
