Carter's new book:
Carter emphasizes that “Christian and Muslim Arabs had continued to live in this same land since Roman times,” but he ignores the fact that Jews have lived in Hebron, Tzfat, Jerusalem, and other cities for even longer. Nor does he discuss the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Jews from Arab countries since
1948.
Carter repeatedly claims that the Palestinians have long supported a two-state solution and the Israelis have always opposed it. Yet he makes no mention of the fact that in 1938 the Peel Commission proposed a two-state solution with Israel receiving a mere sliver of its ancient homeland and the Palestinians receiving the bulk of the land. The Jews accepted and the Palestinians rejected this proposal, because Arab leaders cared more about there being no Jewish state on Muslim holy land than about having a Palestinian
state of their own.
He barely mentions Israel’s acceptance, and the Palestinian rejection, of the U.N.’s division of the mandate in 1948

You are damned right he is an anti-Semite, he also has all but committed treason against America. It is unprecedented that an ex-president would speak ill (to put it lightly) overseas of a seated president. Carter's citizenship should be revoked and he should be given a one way ticket to live in the Palestinian territories, where he belongs.

The land of "Israel" should be split in half. The northern half would be Palestine and the southern half Israel.
In the middle occupying Jerusalem would be the new U.N. HQ with a corridor that divides these lands from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea. Disarm both sides, by force if needed. Stationed there should be 200,000 man Rapid Reaction Force capable of delivering a serious smack down to ANYONE in the region that acts out of line.

I think you're reaching here. Carter is not even close to being in any position to influence the Jewish State. But while we're on the subject; What's your solution to the problem in the Middle East? Everyone else has one do you? Just interested. Use comments to respond. (Common Sense; What the F..., are you living in Wonderland with Shrub?) Oh, and I guess it's better to nego. behind the scenes like Big daddy Reagen did with Iran? "We don't nego. w/ terrorists", unless of course there's money in it.

You make things too complicated. Jimmy Carter is an idiot. When it comes to politics, his thoughts are out in the twilight zone somewhere.

Nah. He is just trying to absolve the blood-guilt.
He should have stopped radical Islam in its infancy, but he thought he could negotiate with terrorists.
