Jimmy Carter was on the Diane Rehm show on WAMU in D.C. this morning. A reliable source tells me that: Carter said the most important question to answer this morning is whether it will be one state or two… Carter said, I haven't said I regret the use of the word apartheid…. and Carter said, in speaking of the apartheid wall, apparently its height (which is not always the 25 feet of the famous photographs, which might pose a problem to the Georgia peach at 84), that in most places I could throw a grenade over the barrier.

It seems as if Carter is reveal to the world that his senility is becoming a problem on the world stage.
Here's a good blurb regarding one of the worst american presidents in modern history:
Just some back of the napkin scribbling about other parts of the video where Carter or CNN says things that are at best mildly suspicious (if you find thing that sound untrue mildly suspicious…)
(1) Carter says that he has apologized to numerous audiences over his "suicide bombings sometimes appropriate" passage. Why something is amiss: Wolf Blitzer introduces the tape by saying that Carter "apologized for the first time" and Carol Costello declared that Carter has "refused to apologize for any part of his book." She then says again that it's the first time he's apologizing for that passage – seconds before they roll tape of Carter saying the exact opposite.
(2) Carter implies that he categorically opposes terrorism. Why something is amiss: it's highly doubtful that he really does.
(3) Carol Costello describes the controversy as one in which Carter "enraged some Jewish leaders over that use of the word apartheid": Why something is amiss: we're seeing this specific misleading-by-omission line a lot. When the Boston Globe covered Carter's refusal to debate Dersh in December, they pulled the exact same stunt – stating that "a furor has erupted because of the use of the word apartheid". Since we're lazy, we'll just cut and paste what we said then:
No… the furor erupted because he published slanders about Israel that are demonstrably wrong and – literally, it appears – indefensible when challenged. The use of the word apartheid is one of those things – especially because Carter writes in his book that Israel is actually not like South Africa – but it's only a small part of it. The bigger problem is the rewriting of history that he does – and that any anti-Israel psuedo academic has to do – to make it seem like Israel isn't interested in peace.

I love these stale ad hominems, each time they come out they look sillier. Carter is not senile. The fact from time to time he says things he is subsequently forced to retract is hardly unique, especially when the things concerned annoy the almighty jewish elite.
Interesting to read the words of the Israeli hasbara agent, chris berel, on an American President, who he should thank for Egypt and Jordan playing nice with Israel thanks to American bribes annually.
Further, Carter's habitat for humanity shows Carter continuing to contribute in a very real way to what's best for the USA–chris berel obviously thinks ShrubCo is the bomb, the bible-thumping, draft avoiding, dui frat boy totally berift
of any common sense when it comes to what's actually in the interest of the USA masses. Bush favored Likkud Israel, for the same reason
his ancestors favored the NAZI regime.
Carter is amazing. He is calling it as he sees it, and people are listening. The fevered attacks at him (note, not attacks at the information contained in his book) are indicative of his impact on the American psyche.
Even some very laid back people are getting surprised and annoyed that in the land of the free even ex-president is not allowed to speak his mind.
Without his book there would be no breakthrough in censorship.
You know, when the Jewish elite, the power-holders, eventually conclude that they really have lost control of the USA, they will attempt to convince the rest of the world that the USA has become fascist. The media templates for this already exist and have been used to paint all sorts of countries brown, from France to Turkey to Venezuela to Iran to Russia.
Why would anyone want to talk with "Dersh"owitz? It'd be like talking to a deaf person. He doesn't listen. To truly listen one must be willing to change, otherwise there is merely hearing.
Eva,

But Eva, Carter's book was ripped apart as a pack of lies, regardless he continued to act as if the stark proof was meaningless. The old goat has become senile.
the old disinfo factory is working overtime these days, here's the latest piece of shameless fabrication, which will doubtless be embellished with fake details over the coming days:
A massive terror attack against an Israeli target in Europe has been thwarted in recent weeks, Channel 2 quoted security officials as saying Wednesday. The attack, linked to the Lebanese militia Hezbollah, was foiled thanks to intelligence sharing between Israel and an undisclosed European country. Israeli officials believe that as the one year anniversary of the February 14 assassination of Hezbollah second-in-command Imad Mughniyeh approaches, attempts to attack Israeli targets around the world will intensify. (Haaretz)
Actually Rowan, I would not discount this story. I doubt that Hezbollah will allow Israel to kill its top military commanders and sleep sound in bed. They said that they will respond and they do keep their word. This is what makes them so formidable an adversary, and this is what won them place in Lebanon politics.
Personally, between the war crimes tribunal and summary execution, it is not a comfortable place to be for Israel military and government. I've heard that Brazil and Argentina are good……..
The Israel civilian and military leadership sleep soundly. Hamas is in hiding.
Well…let's think about all this.
The majority of the populations in every country in the world despise Israel now.
Anti Semite has lost it's power as a slur or censorship tool.
A lot of Jews are dennouncing Israel in as bad or worse terms than the non jews.
Carter hasn't shut up.
W&M haven't shut up
Phil hasn't shut up.
Greenwald hasn't shut up.
Moyers hasn't apologized.
60 Minutes has waded into the fray.
Congress has gone from 2 (Dennis and Moran)speaking out for Gaza and Palestine to 60.
Every rabid zionist apologist on every net site I have seen is being given the flying finger by all other commenters.
A lot of the dems biggest zionist campaign contributors have gone bankrupt.
Boycott Israel is afoot in many major universities among our young people.
Israeli Trade offices have been shut down and Israeli amb's expelled from several Arab countries and in S.A..
I think we see a trend. Israel again today bombed a boarder crossing in Gaza so the US and world trend against will probably keep getting bigger.
Who does Israel have left? Our congress, AIPAC, JINSA, the jewish orgs and their zio neos and cult members.
We still out number them a million to one.
They will lose. Keep it up.
If you could post some actual statistics to back your statements?
However, it is doubtful that you can.
Outnumbered 1 million to one, and the Jews keep proving that you are powerless and inferior. I'll bet that stings.
Eva, the whole idea that Hezbollah attacks jewish targets abroad is a propaganda myth. I started with that disinfo story about Buenos Aires, a story which, like so many others, fades from the view of the media as hard evidence proves unavailable.
chris – you sound more like one trying to convince yourself. Your cheerleading for Israel smacks of insecurity. Little Israel supposedly kicks ass (with help from its bully bretheren – who Israel is also willing to stab in the back whenever convenient) and that somehow makes you a big shot? If there's so much glory in defending the motherland?/fatherland?, why aren't you on the front lines getting some Ay-rab scalps on your belt? It is afterall, just as you said, easy to kick the asses of the powerless and inferior.
The only thing that "stings" is how long it's taking Americans to see what a false friend Israel actually is. You want to keep spitting in the face of a billion Muslims and thinking that is the key to your safety, you go right ahead. Just stop asking my country to bankroll your aggression.
the Jews keep proving that you are powerless and inferior
Ah yes, the supremacism comes out. Let it shine, berel, let it shine…
Still stings you, I see.
what goes around comes around, chris berel–look at your history–there is reason to the cause and effect, anti-semitism did not spring full blown out of the head of medusa, though that's your people's alibi.
A reason? Obviously you forgot to do your homework. All reasons are contradictory.
