Riz Khan - Jimmy Carter - 28 Jan 09 - Part 1

[khghountch]

Mr Obama failed his voters, and it is a shame.

[cincykid77]

democratic elections?  give me a break...

[129749]

respect for this men!

[betterworld4u]

Riz Khan undestands the value for interviewing a statesman. Many object to the opinions of Mr. Carter,but other leaders are so lame they talk without true suggestion.

i believe that if Hamas truly wants to change their international image,it would provide to Mr.Carter that Isreali prisoner captured during an ambush along the border of Isreal-Gaza some time ago.

Now,that achievement would be considered progress.

Not sure whether mediator,Mitchell is the best for the peace,halting settlements

[kgboy1]

Carter is a man!!!!

[greekhoplites]

not a good man at that.

[KurdishImmortal]

Please read what this hypocrite did to El Salvador, he aided in the military killing of women and children. what he did in Iran as well is abhorring at best,

[greekhoplites]

I believe any president presented with the same opportunity would have facilitated the agreement between Egypt and Israel.

[ARMAJETON]

Señor Presidente JIMMY CARTER.

Me gustaría conocerlo. Yo compuse un

poema llamado NIÑO DEL FUTURO

mencionándolo. Es usted un HOMBRE DE LA PAZ.

Por ello mi admiracion...

Jimmy Carter is delluded! Although he recognises Israel's Apartheid nature, I believe he is in denial about how deep racism is rooted in Israel. This is either because he does not want to appear "radical" in the eyes of the Americans or because he is a semi Zionist. A ONE state solution is the ONLY solution. For Israel to be a "Jewish" state is to admit Israel is a racist state as Judaism is classed as a race. An Arab majority in a ONE state would mean true justice for the Palestinians!

[Kerstingker]

All loyal Americans support EQUALITY for all. 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,...' Zionists don't let Palestinians return to what is left of their homes within Israel for the RACIST reason they're not Jewish! When loyal Americans call for Equality, the zionists say they're anti-semitic anti-Israeli bigots. A 'Jewish state' forced into multi-ethnic Palestine is violent state racism as plain as it ever gets. Zionism is ANTI-American and ANTI-Constitutional!

[manhattankd1985]

I guess you would prefer listening to Bush savage one of his stupid speeches.

[iloveyoumany]

F*** Carter he is boring

[iloveyoumany]

Tell Carter to get to his point because it is boring.

[uuubeut]

Jimmy Carter is a great humanitarian! He is a true patriot!

He will not bow to Nationalist Fascist Zionism, AIPAC must go! America is opening their eyes! Zionism is not the Jewish peoples and further, Israel is apartheid!

[Fazi19867]

Hes just a bullshit who changed the middle East situation during his presidency dramatically. Hes a shame for himanity who deserves torture in Guantanamo.

[dwipbhakti]

most of us have "post power syndrom" whther he was bureaucrats, politician or more than that president . President Jimmy carter is the one who colored his retirement with a remarkable endeavor. Salute for Mr carter

[lproth]

You sir did not have to live through his adminastration. Inflation, Iran hostages, failed military, failed cold warrior, 3 mile Island, high oil prices, first collapes of American industry and high taxes of over 50%. Yea great man!

[bvdswqawe11]

@lproth -well,I lived through the time when American chickens came home to roost so,don`t blame Carter for your fucking stupid usa imperialism;I lived through Reagans trickle down economy with it`s savings and loans collapse and deregulations,a harvest we now reap and suffer;so stop spinning fucking american propaganda for the use of american burger feed sheep.Some of us ren`t as stupid as you .

[lproth]

@bvdswqawe11 savings and loans happened under first Bush. Reagon won the cold war. Also not a burger feed sheep my self. Just finished a year of stepping on haji in Iraq:-) .....Good times

[changiz110]

he is stupid and killer .

[manhattankd]

Carter is a moral man. Something Bush lacks.

[ali7739]

Carter has a strong sense of morality, admirable and logical. Very admirable.

[slimwhitman0236]

Without a doubt the most embarrassing x-president the US has had, I'm so ashamed of him

[Rx4pabulum]

Former President Jimmy Carter is a man who is not afraid to utter an unpopular opinion. This is a man who dares to speak the truth and refuses to be mute, reserved and non committal. Bless his heart!

[justjeshb]

Wow! I didn't know that Obama condemed violence against women and children! what a strong positiong to take! He'll sure catch some flack from the pro-killing women and children lobby in the USA!

[mrshutter77]

The problem w/Carter is he isn't willing show flexibility on the status of the refugees & east Jerusalem & removal of all settlements.All settlements must be removed & Right of return of the refugees is none-negotiable,once those two are granted, we can move on to a refurendum where both peoples can select what is it they want, One state, two states, One state twin republic, two states economically unified, if two states then east Jerusalmen must be capital of palistine.

[madrid23]

sure the Palestineans refugees can go back to Israel. As soon as the descendents of all those Jews (nearly 1 million people) kicked out of Arab lands in 1948 can go back to their lands in Arab nations, reclaim their property and ask for monetary compensation for all their stolen property plus the terrible experience of being kicked out of the homes and communities across the Middle East and North Africa that they had lived for hundreds and even thousands of years.

[mrshutter77]

I think what your talking about is what ISrael should do to Palestinia refuges & thier descendents when they return home to what is now called Israel. As far is this folk tale myth of yoru goes, its laughable, this was never ture, Zonist movments came to various countires & scared the Arab jews into moving to Israel & secrectly airlifted them. Why is it that Morroco, Algeria, Tunesis, Even Iraq have Jewish populations, get yoru facts straight first!

[madrid23]

Sure, just as the folk tale that Palestineans were driven out by the Jews off Palestine by force. Most of them were convinced by their Arab cousins to leave Israel in order to allow them to better kick the Jews onto the sea in 1948. Had the Jews driven the Palestineans out why would there be nearly 1.5 million Israeli Arabs living in Israel as citizens even represented in the Keness, in a country of only 7 million. I guess they r kits now. Arabs stay in Arab countries and Jews in Israel.

[mrshutter77]

No, you are suffering from KKKIKKKE psychosis, Palestinains where4 driven out by IUSraeli, there is just too much documentation of that, & Refugees where produced as a result. The Zionist Malitia forced out nearly 1 million Palestinians, those that resisted & stayed on make up the 1.5 -2 million palestinains living in SIrael today & keeping alvie palestinain hitory even though they get treat like 2nd class citizens. The resps in Knesset is very small & they recentlky got banned from the elctions

[mrshutter77]

So please grow up & get yoru facts straight, Jewsin Arab countreis where never kickeout they left volutarity becuase Zionist scared them into doin it. They where airlifetd, so grow up, waatch Palestine Stret & get yoru facts straight, other wise maybe discarding this flithy faith of your will help allot. Go see a dotocr & get medical threatment because your suffering from KKKIKKKE psychosis

[madrid23]

u grow up. Why don't u go to Israel and ask them if many of their parents were not intimidated out of countries like Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. They were kicked out. It is one of the lest documented events in this conflict, because cynics like you don't want it reported. U made up this story that they left on their own. Well they left on their own just as Palestineans left Israel on their own. And that is not true, there are still Israeli Arabs in the Keness

[mrshutter77]

I will never set my foot on Isreal as long it continues to remain a racist aparthied state, the honest one--which are far & few will tell me that Zionist organizations came to them & convinced them to immigrate to Israel becuase it will be beneficial. The ones who want to exaggerate & lie wil tell what you telling. It s leat documented becuase it never happened, they never where kicked out the choose to immigrate to Israel. Palestinians never choose to leve paliestine they where expelled!

[madrid23]

Israel does not need u there. I will go to Israel and love it too, like the millions of people who go every year. And by the way, u still haven't answered my question why did so many Jews that left Arab lands ended up in Australia, America, Europe and South America. Why didn't they go to Israel as the Zionists wanted them to? And if the Israelis militias kicked out the Palestineans why did the 1.5 million remained. R u gonna tell me now that they were collaborators right? its all a conspiracy.

[mrshutter77]

these 1.5 2 million palestinians are descendents of the few thousand palestinians that remained in Palestine & resisted Siraeli threats & are still over soming many odds to remain there. I did answer your questions, Zionist organization want jews from everwhere to immigrate to israel for demographic reason & wiping any historical evidence of palestinains hitory off Palestine. Arab Jews in Aussie & elsewhere are the same reason why people from Arab natiosn ahve been immigrating, economic, ect..

[madrid23]

if Zionists convinced Jews to leave Arab lands, why did so many of them end up in NY and California and Canada and Australia and Britain, and South Africa, and South America and France and Holland. Why didn't they all go to Israel where the Zionists wanted them to. Go around a and talk to them and they will tell u what their families went through. Ignorant, u get your facts straight. Looking at a conflict is not just looking through one side. U need to look at both sides u cynic.

[mrshutter77]

All those countries had Jewish populatiuon before 1948, Your are ignorant, Zionist go all over the world to convice Jew to go to Israel so that Jews can have a demographics advantage, demographics is the reason why Zionist want Jews from everywhere to immigrte to Israel. You need to look at the truth & look at the other side I see othr side all the time--the Zionist side is 2 laughable to a smart & informed person. Especially since Jews can be of any race & nationality & eithnicity even arab,

[madrid23]

even i wouldn't go to that level of cynicism. Both sides kicked each others out. Jews in Arab countries were intimidated, with violence and ethnic attacks. Many left on their own accord but many didn't. Some were given direct verdicts by Arab authorities to leave or face prosecution or arrest. Many went 2 Europe and America. Same goes 4 Palestineans, many chose to stay, many went on their own, others were intimidated to leave by Jewish attacks. No good will come from undoing this but more war.

[mrshutter77]

Ah no that is only true about ISreal that is not true about Jews in arab countreis so please get yoru facts straight & grow up. Watch Palestine Street please because youa re seriouly suffering from CNN FOX BBC & KKKIKKKE syndrome!

[madrid23]

and u think that Al Jazeera is completely neutral and without bias. Oh please, when have u seen Al Jazeera placing as much condemnation on the Turks for slaughtering Kurds 40 000 dead who are not even allowed to speak their own language, on the Arabs in Sudan for slaughtering and ethnic cleasing nearly 200 000 black Africans, on the Lebanese for slaughtering the Palestineans refugees in the Ghettos as they did last year as they do with Israel for killing 1300 Palestineans. There is your no bias

[Jewishfan]

I called Jimmy sick and stupid before, but I was wrong. He is not stupid, he is intellegent man, but he is just evil, and he is my enemy, and enemy of my nation.

[baronmorris]

enemy? are u an enemy of peace?

Terrorist Jews? Who would have thunk it.

What a sick irony of history. From concentration camp victims to concentration camp tyrants in less than a century.

It doesn't help that every Israeli is bound by law to serve in the military, which breeds dogmatic Nationalism in a religious state.

It also doesn't help that the US has become a retarded apocalyptic theocracy.

PEACE to ALL!

The ends cannot justify the means... the means must be justified in themselves.

[FlatulenceFox]

It is really sad that Israel is placing itself into such and inflexible and morally indefensible position. Really, one day, and one day soon, it will be time for Israel to go it alone.

I am one American who is sick and tired our nation's unconditional support for Israel. Supporting Israel and its destructive policies has hurt the USA almost irreparably.

Jimmy Carter is very right here.

[madrid23]

you are fooling yourself thinking that going against Israel is gonna make the Muslims like us. Bin Laden when he started his Jihad never even mentioned the Palestinean cause as the reason for it until decades later. Listen to what their demands are. These radicals want to create an Islamist Kaliphate that will cover the all world including America in which all will have just 3 choices. Convert to Islam, pay tribute to them or die. That is why they cannot accept the existence of Israel.

[covertcovenant]

For there to be peace and reconciliation, justice is needed. The Jews that were kicked out of Arab countries, I am not too sure with whom their loyalties were affiliated, did they feel as Arab Jews, or Jews in a Arab land needing to support Israel? Look at those folks in Egypt that worked for the Mossad within Egypt to help sabotage the countries government, or spy on them. I think it is slightly complicated, but nevertheless, they should have the right to return,same as the Palestinians.

[harmlesstree]

"Bin Laden when he started his Jihad never even mentioned the Palestinean cause as the reason"

This statement is just patently false. Bin Laden's first public pronouncement(1994) quite explicitly mentions the Palestinians. This is not surprising given that it came in a letter titled " The Betrayal of Palestine." And he frequently refers to the Palestinians in subsequent pronouncements and interviews. Incidentally, the preponderance of Muslims do like us. They just don't like our foreign policy

[madrid23]

that is not true. OBL only adopted the Palestinean cause much later in his campaign of terror. His main reason for war with us was our presence in Saudi Arabia and our influence there. He only adopted the Palestinean cause, once most of our troops left Saudi Arabia. If Bin Laden had a problem with the Israelis. He would have attacked the Israelis. Not us. He knows that we are his greatest obstacle for a Kaliphate across the Middle East. And he sees our western culture as Islam's greatest enemy.

[madrid23]

"Most Muslims do like us" U are talking about the moderates (some good people). But the radicals do hate us, and trust me there are many out there and they hate us and our culture. Our views on women' s rights, our views in religious diversity, our secular society, our capitalist way of life and our humanist ideals. I think that they have resentment that we have progress and they have receded. But instead of blaming their own corrupt authoritarian governments, they blame us for it.

[FlatulenceFox]

It is not about the how the average Muslim in the streets perceives the US. However, it is about how much an increasing negative view of the US can eventually force the Muslim citizens of various countries to force their respective nations to change their relations with the US. And that change will not be for the good. It will continue to adversely affect America's soft power and influence around the world.

That is not in the US's interest. We cannot continue to support Israel unconditionally.

[madrid23]

I am telling u, u think the Palestineans are the only people without a state in the Middle East. Look at the kurds. A people without a nation scathared across Iran, Syria, Turkey and Iraq. Massacred and brutalized for hundred of years, where is the outrage in the Muslim world for their cause. There is none, you know why? Because their oppressors are Muslim. But because Israel is a none Muslim country in the middle East, they simply cannot accept that fact. That is why they want to destroy it.

[covertcovenant]

I am not sure if you are of any faith, or if you are a Kurd or a Israeli. I can tell you this, I think you are right about the Kurds, I have been to southeastern Turkey and have seen Kurds tortured and abused for just being kurds, similarly how Palestinians have been treated by Israeli soldiers, settlers, and military/police/secret service forces. I also agree with you on letting the Jews back to their homecountries, if they came from a arab country. It was wrong expelling them to begin with.

[covertcovenant]

Great comment, thank you. I fully agree.

[covertcovenant]

You are an enemy of your own nation.

[Gunida]

A very constructive idea from Carter.

[sleeplessintokyo]

i admire president Carter. way ahead of his time back then and still is.
