The Detroit Free Press very briefly gives Jimmy Carter the microphone to say that Israel is responsible for the Gaza war and to make this comment–

Notice the false claim that Hamas's policy has anything to do with Jewishness. Notice the dual loyalty in a prominent position in the American discourse. (Thanks to Nader Hashemi.)
