We were the first to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel which I'm sure Carter ws against. And a volatile recognition I must say. One I disagreed with anyhow.

Carter says Gaza Palestinians treated like animals

Tue Jun 16, 2009 11:18am EDT

GAZA, June 16 (Reuters) - Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are being "treated more like animals than human beings", former U.S. president Jimmy Carter said on Tuesday.

On a visit to the enclave, he condemned Israel's January bombardment of Gaza and its continuing trade blockade, which he said forbids even children's toys.

"I understand that even paper and crayons are treated as a security hazard," he told Gazans at a local United Nations office. "I sought an explanation of this when I met with Israeli officials and I received none, because there is no explanation."

I think Israel should stop making war on children.

IMO, the blockade of Gaza must end before any progress can be made in peace efforts.

I think the Palestinians should stop making children human shields, and start acting like humans rather than animals.

Clark proposed it. He didn't go ahead with it.

They are acting like humans.

You actually think that women and children being used as human shields is a viable and humane military policy. Golly.

When corrupt Israeli officals use the average Israeli as a shield to their corruption no one mentions it.

Same thing, Israeli officials are neither animals nor super humans.

Animals don't do that.

I believe that the word animal was intended to mean wrong, bad, evil, selfish, inhumane rather than infer they are four legged beasts who bark like dogs. In any case, Israel does not have an official policy of using their own people as human shields rather, they seek to protect those people. On the other hand, Hamas not only puts their own people at risk by their actions but actually states they will use those people as a means of defense known to all as 'human shileds.'

Israelis bring their children in the most-exposed colonies.

The government mandates this for protection of Israeli troops? Explain please.

Gaza residents cannot even get toys, how could they have the luxury of a government with troops?

They have difficulty getting toys because the military wing of Hamas, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades has screwed everything up by using funding which should be going towards the welfare of the people to buy weapons to kill Israeli civilians with. The Israelis, not liking this for obvious reasons, close borders down to prevent the illegal smuggling of these weapons. Hamas, wishing to get some sympathy from the actions which they have themselves caused, use propaganda to get left wing Jew hating morons from the west to overlook the fact that their actions ensure that this occurs, and, blame Israel for protecting it's own people instead.

Benny

No toy, no childhood.

Call on Hamas to stop supporting their terrorism and buy toys instead. Heck, why do you blame Israel for Hamas's poor leadership?

Carter: a left wing Jew hating moron from the west overlooking the facts!? Who are you to say that!?

I would say he is more misguided than a Jew hater. His inability to ask Hamas to stop using their own women and children as a cornerstone in military operations gives this one away.

Who are you to know Carter is unable to ask something when he thinks it has to be asked!?

Simply because such a noteworthy diversion to his usual appeasement of Hamas would have been front page news across the world.

I am somebody who knows that Carter rarely criticizes Hamas. So, a rare utterance from someone such as Carter would be noteworthy don't you think?
