Carter warns US and Israel on collision course

Former US president Jimmy Carter, seen here on June 11, has told the Haaret...

      Israel is headed for a clash with main ally the United States over the issue of Jewish settlements, former US president Jimmy Carter said in an interview on Sunday.

Asked by the liberal Haaretz newspaper whether the Jewish state was looking at a "head-on collision" with the United States if it doesn't comply with Washington's demands, Carter said "Yes."

The former president, who brokered the historic peace treaty between Israel and Egypt in 1979, said Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank were the biggest hurdle in the hobbled Middle East peace process, saying they were "illegal and (an) obstacle to peace."

The administration of US President Barack Obama has repeatedly called on Israel to halt all settlement activity in the occupied West Bank, which is viewed as one of the key obstacles in the stalled Middle East peace process.

Carter on Sunday made a rare visit to a settlement, saying he went to Neve Daniel "to make sure they (the settlers) understand my own attitude towards Israel, the Jewish population across the world and the Jewish settlements."

He was speaking at the start of a meeting with Shaul Goldstein, the head of the regional council of Gush Etzion, a large settlement bloc south of Jerusalem that Israel hopes to keep in any future peace deal.

Goldstein briefed the 85-year-old former president on joint Israeli-Palestinian projects in the region and on the history of the Jewish community in the Gush Etzion before the creation of the Jewish state in 1948.

"This is our homeland but we recognise that there are other people living next to us," Goldstein told Carter. "We believe in human rights and we suffer when they (Palestinians) suffer."

Obama's efforts to push forward the peace process has raised fears in Israel that Washington may ease its support of the Jewish state as it tries to improve relations with the Muslim world.

Carter is also due to visit the Hamas-run Gaza Strip on Tuesday as part of a regional visit.

This Nazi animal. But I fear he is right as long Obama is in the White House.

Sadly, looks like Israel will also get some "change".

This still turns my stomach, to me it is nothing but desecration.

Gentile: This is hypocrisy at it's sickest. Have pity on Carter as he has a disability. I'd say mental, but he doesn't have a brain. This animal should get an incurable disease with an affirmitive action doctor!

Who cares what Carter says..... Look at what the outcome was for Israel the last time they allowed themselves to be dragged down the garden path by the filthy animal. Israel is on its own on this issue as we speak by going along with the process its not going to change a thing. If its going to be a collision course Israel should make the collision a memorable one and tell the shvartza Administration and the U.N to go screw itself. Honestly Carter should have taken up drinking habits like the rest of his misfit family and restricted himself to the peanut plantation. Sadly what Israel has to contend with now at the hands of this black animal and his socialist administration is far more sinister then Carter ever was.

Seems to be a coded message from the Kingdom of the Wretch.

Carter and Obama are exactly the same, both want to squeeze Israel's people out of the land.  I totally support Israel and will do whatever I can to help the people.  Thanks to Chaim for his information on the Hilltop Youth families.

The collision course was inevitable.  Stand Strong children of Israel.
