1. Carter called Israel an apartheid state and endorsed the use of terror against it (although he later claimed he “didn’t mean it that way” re: the use of terror. In the past, he has advised Arafat how to go about garnering world sympathy. This is no more newsworthy than Abbas or Assad making these statements.

2. I’m too young to remember…..what were this guy’s policies toward Israel when he was president?

3. The Peanut Man has no credibility.

4. The fact that Carter is a bigotted jerk is irrelevant.

   Israel should ask for something in exchange, such as an agreement that no hostile forces be stationed within 500 miles of its border (i.e. Syria give up jet aircraft, armored vehicles, artillery, missles), or perhaps on parity between Jewish and Islamic states in nuclear weapons, with no Muslim nukes within 1000 miles of Israel (Pakistan keeps some nukes, but no Iranian or Arab ones). Israel might also demand reparations to cover all the money wasted on its military since the Arabs attacked them in 1948.

5. GottaHaveEmunah-

   As president, Carter was no friend of Israel, but his visceral contempt towards it either wasn’t apparent or didn’t develop until after he’d left office.

6. Please HASHEM,
   Get rid of this disgusting AK

7. Israel desperately needs peace. It has lost its last several wars, and has been driven out of Lebanon twice, and forced to withdraw from Gaza. When they withdrew from Sinai, the Israelis got a little bit in return. The hilonim are increasingly refusing to support continuation of a Jewish state, and are increasingly refusing to serve in the army. If the Israelis can’t get a permanent stable peace, they will eventually be driven into the sea. Making reasonable demands in return for withdrawals (e.g. Arab disarmament, end to anti-Jewish propaganda worldwide, reparations for past wrongs) may be the only way to preserve any sort of Jewish presence in Eretz Yisrael. Continuing to rely on military power to rule over the Arabs will in the long run lead to failure.

   This is independent of whether the reliance on Tzahal and the Medinah in place of HaShem has a negative impact from a yiddishkeit perspective.

8. Happily ignoring the Carter angle altogether (his only accomplishment is giving the Arabs another propaganda platform), I think it’s better that the Arabs be openly hostile toward us. Wouldn’t it be worse were they to snooker us smiley-faced into treaties only to turn around and attack once our guard is down?

9. Carter stated that from his perspective, a peace agreement is not possible without Israel’s total withdrawal.—-According to HIS PERSPECTIVE, no Jews is a better solution.
   “The hilonim are increasingly refusing to support continuation of a Jewish state, and are increasingly refusing to serve in the army”.–A large % of chilonim (children of secular MKs) have left Israel to make big bucks in Europe and America. There is about 40% religious and another 35% traditional soldiers who are presently defending the state of Israel
   Keep in mind that Syria received in 1944 the Golan Heights from the French Mandate. The heights was won fairly and with much hardship by the Israelis. The main water supplies are located there, plus from the heights all of Tveria and most of the upper Galil is exposed to the eyes (cannons) of Syria. Over 80% of the residents of Israel agree that the Golan Heights must remain in Jewish hands so Jimmy go home..

10. Why does the Yeshiva World feel the need to perpetuate all the terrible things that these anti-semites say? If we would ignore them they would do less damage.
