Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter condemned Israel on Monday, saying the prospects for peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority are fading into a crisis.
Carter told a news conference in Jerusalem on Monday said the Israeli-PA peace process has reached a crisis point and that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government was not interested in pursuing a two-state solution.
Carter arrived here this week with other members of “The Elders” – group of former world leaders who are in the region to visit Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and Egypt. He claimed that continued construction in Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria and areas of Jerusalem restored to the capital during the 1967 Six Day War is making the prospect of peace less and less likely.
The former president said the situation has reached a “crisis stage,” adding that Washington has “zero” influence to resolve the decades-long conflict. Carter also said the ability of the U.S. to persuade Israel to change its policies had dropped to its lowest level in 45 years. Nor was the one-term Democratic president optimistic that the United States could “reassert its influence.”
Carter expressed pessimism about the future of any final status agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority while Netanyahu is in office. He made it clear that he believes that Israel's prime minister has given up on the idea of a two-state solution.
"The policy of promoting a two-state solution seems to be abandoned now and we are deeply concerned about this move towards this catastrophic so-called one-state choice... this is a major concern,” Carter said. "All indications to us is that this two-state solution has basically been abandoned and we've had a moving forward towards a 'greater Israel' which I think is contrary to the two-state solution concept,” he said.

Did he even fire that bitch who thinks the only reason anyone is upset over Benghazi is because of Mitt and Paul? Does he agree with or repudiate her?
Be vewy vewy quiet. I’m hunting wabbits. Hehehehe.
Current US voter, Muirwoods, says " Screw you Jimmah, you worthless failed peanut farmer, why don't you work on breaking your oxygen habit?"
“Why can’t he just be satisfied with being the second worst president in the history of this country?”
Because of his new book: Why Not the Worst?
He’ll take twelve months and a day of kaddish, I suspect.*
* Yeah, I know it’s wrong to say that, but he’s such a foul man.
Compared to what? When is the "peace process" not at a crisis point?
There is no peace process. We already have peace in the middle east and guess what, this is what it looks like.
The only peace that exists is the peace Israel has created within its well-guarded borders. Outside its borders is hell. Occasionally hell manages to breach the fence but thats to be expected. If you want more peace, then Israel needs to expand the borders of civilization. Thats the only way its going to happen.
The worm that roars.
Jews aligning with the Democrat Party is the Stockholm Syndrome writ large.
There was no need for the last two on the right, since the letters a-s-s are synonymous with Jimmuh.
Hey Jimmy Boy, it is Israel’s land, G-d given and it is not up to you to decide to give it away....
Carter is on Saudi Arabia’s payroll. He collects major bucks from them for doing this stuff.
I saw Jimmy Carter at a Habitat For Humanity house trying to nail glass.
With or without pilot holes? Did he give it one final smack to make sure the head was coutersunk?
LLS
There was a time I thought Carter was a terrible president, but still a good man. Now I realize that the reason he is still alive is because neither GOD or Satan want him! Sadly if that is true we are stuck with him for a long time.
Someone please put him out of my misery!
As near as I can figure, some Southern Jewish banker musta stiffed Jimmah’s family on a loan, or mebbe refused to give his family one when he had to take over the family bizness from his drunk brother Billy.
How can a man despise the Jews sooooo much? is he a closet Islamist perchance?
