Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has called for an end to the fighting and bombing in Gaza.

“Both sides must distinguish between combatants and noncombatants, and Israel must ensure that its use of force is proportionate in accordance with international humanitarian law. More immediately, all combat operations must stop, and Israeli troops should withdraw from Gaza,” Carter said in a statement released Tuesday.

So far, more than 600 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed in the fighting, according to reports. The Israeli death toll is estimated at 29, including two civilians.

Humantarian groups have also called for an end to the fighting, citing the civilian loss of life as well as deteriorating conditions in the area.

Carter also called on the international community to use a ceasefire agreement to ” advance the reunification of Palestine if there is to be sustainable peace between Israelis and Palestinians. The agreement must include implementation and international monitoring mechanisms.”

Hey Jimmah, how ‘bout you go be a human shield with your fellow Jew haters?

[CrazyIvan]

I can never hear about ol’ Jimmy without recalling P.J. O'Rourke,s describing him as “grinning like a raccoon eating fish guts out of a wire brush”.

[RetSignman]

Jimmy can’t tell which room the toilet is in anymore.
++++++++++
Thanks to Depends, he doesn’t need to.

[Eleutheria5]

...and a beginning to fighting everywhere.

[ully2]

Oh good, that ought to help a lot.

[RetiredTexasVet]

I think most Americans would prefer an end to Jimuh Catuh.

[Disambiguator]

I went to high school with this guy, and he used to do a killer Jimmy Carter impersonation. He got in trouble doing it at an assembly once. Hilarious stuff.

[exit82]

Yes, he still draws breath.

He will be 90 come October 1st.

Carter is the prototype leftist dumbkopf ineffective POTUS com-symp.

He's also a rabid anti-semite and NEO-NAZI.

Hussein Baraka might be a worse POTUS, but he is hampered by being on vacation so much.

Thank God he isn't worried about the "Lazy Black" stereotype.

Jimmy Carter has not changed. He was okay with Palestinian terrorists shooting at Jewish civilians - not a peep. When Israeli soldiers start shooting back at the terrorists, good old Jimmy wants a stop to the violence. Today’s Democrats disgust me.

More immediately... all Israeli combat operations must stop killing innocent Palestinian women and children for fun--

And all those nasty Israeli thugs should withdraw from Gaza, the West Bank and all the way back to the original 1948 borders.... Don't you think that is right, Amy?

Gee, Daddy, it is hard to say... just what to do--

Buy Misty Malarky Ying Yang says all Jews hate cats... so kill 'em all.

Still a source of wise advice, Amy... and you, too, Misty Malarky Ying Yang.

[Tijeras_Slim]

That is an entirely valid point.

[Big Mack]

I think it is Adolf Carter.

[DoughtyOne]

Carter was the brain-trust that demanded an end to fighting in Iran too. Way to go Jimma!

[Slings and Arrows]

Shut up and take your Aricept, Judenfresser.

[Impy]

Hard to believe we could have worse President than Jimmy, but we do and he got reelected, good lord.

ONE MORE SIGN Benjamin Netanyahu is on the right track. Netanyahu needs to keep this up until Hamas is run out of the region and every tunnel is destroyed. Best way to know you're 'in the right' is to have Carter on the other side...

[Howie66]

I find it nearly impossible to say that next to Obama, even Carter looks good.
