Longtime friend and supporter of the PA (Palestinian Authority), former US President Jimmy Carter has come out to express his support for a declaration of Palestinian independence. He feels that the unilateral move planned for the upcoming United Nations General Assembly is preferable to the frozen political process that exists. Regarding Israeli-Egyptian relations, Carter, whose administration spearheaded the Camp David Accord stated he does not feel that the long-standing peace agreement is in jeopardy.
Carter accuses Israel of failing to withdraw from the “occupied areas”, namely, Yehuda and Shomron. Regarding America’s threat to veto a unilateral PA declaration of statehood, Carter explained that if the current administration had a comprehensive plan as an alternative he would not support the unilateral PA move but in light of the options, stalled negotiations, he feels the move is indeed justified. The former president adds the move will represent significant progress for the PA since even if the United Nations recognizes Palestine but the new state does not receive membership to the international forum.

What a charming picture that you posted…can it be enlarged and made into a dart board?
One of the worst presidents by nearly everyone’s rankings, http://goo.gl/bYMk3
Since when was Carter a friend of the PA?? He is the self appointed spokesman of HAMAS (get your facts right!)
Not news.
Dog bites man. Not news
Man bites dog. News.
Jimmy Carter bites Jews. Not news.
they don’t call Carter the Pea”nut” Man for nothing
I think there’s a very cushy, comfy seat waiting for him in a place called “Gehinom”. HAMAS (Handy App Mapping Assist System) will get him there quickly on the first non-stop trip.
This is a reminder to all of you who think that Obama is the “worst president for Israel ever.”
