This morning the Carter Center issued the following press release:
Carter Center Supports Calls to Investigate Human Rights Violations
ATLANTA…The Carter Center commends the 15 Christian leaders who recently urged Congress to investigate human rights violations by Israelis against Palestinians that are obviously in violation of U.S. law.
Like these church leaders, The Carter Center has long been concerned about Israel’s disregard for stated U.S. policy. This is demonstrated by an unprecedented massive increase in encroachment on occupied Palestinian territory, with illegal settlement expansion during recent years.
“This is precluding the possibility of a two-state solution and endangers a peaceful future for both Israelis and Palestinians,” said former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, founder of The Carter Center.

Thank you President Carter, The Carter Center and the 15 Christian leaders!
This will raise the ire of many just because it reeks of justice long denied.
James Earl Carter really knows how to “lead from the front.”
Thank you President Carter. You have been out in front on this issue for decades.
Thank you to the Carter Center for representing the best in America today.
Thank you Mr Carter.
Bravo!
