Jimmy Carter, one of the best ex-Presidents in the nation's history, has once again been in the Middle East seeking a resolution of several issues with the ultimate goal being peace. Pres. Carter has been making progress, with the leader of the Palestinian Hamas movement now saying a two-state solution is possible.
I thought you, my reader, would be interested in the following quotes from Pres. Carter. I have not yet verified them but they are from a usually reliable source.
In referring to Israeli attacks on Gaza earlier this year, Carter said that in "the aftermath of bombs, missiles, tanks, bulldozers, and the continuing economic siege have brought death, destruction, pain, and suffering to the people here. Tragically, the international community largely ignores the cries for help, while the citizens of Gaza are being treated more like animals than human beings."
Carter further declared in speaking to the residents of Gaza, "The responsibility for this terrible human rights crime lies in Jerusalem, Cairo, Washington, and throughout the international community. This abuse must cease; the crimes must be investigated; the walls must be brought down, and the basic right of freedom must come to you."
