Former US president Jimmy Carter accused Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu of placing "several obstacles on the road to peace" on Monday, addressing the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee one day after Netanyahu laid out his policy during an internationally-televised speech.

"In my opinion, Netanyahu brought up several obstacles to peace in his speech that others before him have not placed," Carter, who is visiting Israel as part of a larger Middle East tour, told the committee. "He insists on settlement expansion and demands that the Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state, even though 20% of Israel's citizens are not Jewish."

Carter nevertheless stressed that the differences between US President Barack Obama and Netanyahu could be overcome.

[Always Right]

Damn Jews expect to live! Why can’t they just accept the ‘peace’ that Carter and Obama want for them!

[penelopesire]

Once again, FReepers were right! Obama is sending out Jimma Carter for a test flight of Obama’s soaring weakness and cowardice.

Good ole terrorist loving Jimmah - some things never change - thinking when his time comes he should be buried right next to Yassir Arafat

[Redbob]

To the idiot peanut farmer from Plains, Israelis’ desire to live is “an obstacle to peace.”

Jimmy is a fool, and an almost as great an embarrassment to this country as his spiritual successor, Zero.

[Redbob]

"...when his time comes he should be buried right next to Yassir Arafat."

Preferably, next week.

Late 1970's in more ways than one.

What a confirmation that Netanyahu is right! It's his country Carter, not yours! And we don't have Iran's missiles trained on us...not yet at least.

I will not miss him when meets his end.

10% of Egypt’s population is non-Muslim. Does that mean that Egypt isn’t an Islamic state?

[2ndDivisionVet]

If by “PM” he means “Palestinian Muslims” or “Palestinian Militias” or somesuch, then I agree with him ... LOL

[WellyP]

Jimmy, I have had a “sort of” soft soft for you, after all, you are a USNA grad. This time you have totally and completely lost me. Sir, GFYS! You are a complete idiot!

[Congressman Billybob]

Jimmy Carter is the most disgraceful ex=President the US has ever had. And he did have some serious opposition for the title. But he and Bill will be left in the shade for worst ever, when Obama retires (?) in 1912.

Latest articles, "Stayin' Alive, Ah, ha, ha, ha...."

I've got Jimmy as #2 in my “Dead Pool” list. Come on Carter hurry up and .....

[Foolsgold]

Carter certified election in south America and is a disgrace, He gave away the Panama Canal, but not in 1912

[El Gato]

If you look in the dictionary under “obstacle to peace”, you’ll find a picture of Mr. Peanut.

[Slimey]

He had his day (o’boy did he ever)let him go back to Ghawgeh
and keep his dam pie hole shut.Nobody needs his 2 cents worth anyway.

[headstamp 2]

What in God’s name is this raging anti-Semite doing addressing the Knesset?

[Mind-numbed Robot]

It would be nice if Jimmy and Roselyn would peacefully die in their sleep.

[ldish]

is this islam loving peanut terd still alive? if so i would have thought he would be living (or hiding for delight every evening) under the highnass, your anus, nobamas bed

[wally_bert]

People like him seem to live forever and always causing trouble. They can’t take the hint it is time for them to shut up and go away.

[ldish]

he may “seem to”, but like the rest of us, he will not live here on earth...forever. he is an old,troubled ole man...but i do not wish him or anyone else any ill will.

[WellyP]

I can’t wish him dead. I do wish he would retire and spend his time devoted to the one hobby, the one skill that he is truly exceptional. He is a great cabinetmaker.

What in God’s name is this raging anti-Semite doing addressing the Knesset?

Soothing the nerves of Leftist anti-Semitic Israelis.

[SunkenCiv]

I'll say.

Israeli security sources said that the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) had learned of plans to target Carter and had passed on the information to the former president's security detail in "real time." According to Palestinian sources, terrorists linked with al Qaida hid a number of improved explosive devices along a road that Carter's convoy was scheduled to travel on inside Gaza. Hamas forces reportedly uncovered the IEDs and destroyed them.

Somewhere in Georgia there is a plot of dirt with Jimmah’s name on it.
