Carter’s version of the War in Gaza
QandO —
Jimmy Carter starts his article in the Washington Post this way: I know from personal involvement that the devastating invasion of Gaza by Israel could easily have been avoided. After visiting Sderot last April and seeing the serious psychological damage caused by the rockets that had fallen in that area, my wife, Rosalynn, and I declared their launching from Gaza to be inexcusable and an act of terrorism.To that point, Mr. Carter and I were in agreement. Of course knowing it was Carter writing this piece, I knew there ...
Abbreviated Pundit Round-Up
Daily Kos —
Your one stop pundit shop. Jimmy Carter believes that the "devastating invasion of Gaza by Israel could easily have been avoided." Nicholas Kristof described the Boomerang Syndrome: Arab terrorism built support for right-wing Israeli politicians, who took harsh actions against Palestinians, who responded with more terrorism, and so on. Extremists on each side sustain the other, and the excessive Israeli ground assault in Gaza is likely to create more terrorists in the long run. If this pattern continues, we may ...

Hamas Stooge Jimmy Carter Endorses Gaza's "Defensive" Tunnels
Gateway Pundit —
The worst president ever, Jimmy Carter, who presided over high inflation, high unemployment, high gas prices, stagflation, gas lines, not to mention his horrible foreign policy that brought the regime to power in Iran and the spread of communism worldwide, backed the 200 tunnels into Israel today. Carter called them "defensive" tunnels. The Washington Post published Carter's latest attack on Israel: Since we were only observers, and not negotiators, we ...

Jimmy Carter Chimes In: Gaza War Unnecessary, And, Oh, Israels Fault
Stop The ACLU —
The Worst President Ever has a column up at the Washington Post which even pigeons won’t poop on, essentially finding that it is Israel at complete fault . Go figure. [image] He starts off with a little background on how only 3 people have been killed by the Hamas rockets, but, the people have been terrified and do not go out because of the fear. That is why Hamas is called a “terrorist organization,” Jimmy! Then Knowing that we would soon be seeing Hamas leaders from Gaza and also in Damascus, we promised to assess prospects for a cease-fire. From Egyptian intelligence chief ...
Jimmy Crater on the Preventable War in Gaza [Dan Collins]
protein wisdom —
Palestinian leaders from Gaza were noncommittal on all issues , claiming that rockets were the only way to respond to their imprisonment and to dramatize their humanitarian plight. The top Hamas leaders in Damascus, however, agreed to consider a cease-fire in Gaza only, provided Israel would not attack Gaza and would permit normal humanitarian supplies to be delivered to Palestinian citizens. After extended discussions with those from Gaza, these Hamas leaders also agreed to accept any peace agreement that might be negotiated between the Israelis and Palestinian Authority ...

A Blog For All —
Once again, former President Jimmy Carter chooses evil over good . He sides with terrorism over a state's right to defend itself from terrorism.“I know from personal involvement that the devastating invasion of Gaza by Israel could easily have been avoided. After visiting Sderot last April and seeing the serious psychological damage caused by the rockets that had fallen in that area, my wife, Rosalynn, and I declared their launching from Gaza to be inexcusable and an act of terrorism.

I know from personal involvement that the devastating invasion of Gaza by Israel could easily have been avoided.
Oh, come on, Jimmah. Nothing matches the devastation you dealt yourself as president. Carter was actually the first vote I ever cast and the last one I ever cast for a Democrat.
Was he a necessary president?
Perhaps.

Brainster's Blog — Jimmuh Speaks Out And removes all doubt that he's a fool. Since we were only observers, and not negotiators, we relayed this information to the Egyptians, and they pursued the cease-fire proposal. After about a month, the Egyptians and Hamas informed us that all military action by both sides and all rocket firing would stop on June 19, for a period of six months, and that humanitarian supplies would be restored to the normal level that had existed before Israel's withdrawal in 2005 (about 700 trucks daily). We were unable to confirm ...
