Jimmy Carter to Obama: Before you leave office, recognize Palestinian state

quote [ " Carter wrote. "The simple but vital step this administration must take before its term expires on Jan. 20 is to grant American diplomatic recognition to the state of Palestine."

The former President also called for the UN Security Council to pass a resolution "laying out the parameters for resolving the conflict." ]

This might be necessary to keep Bibi and Trump from starting another war. It will damn sure be necessary if we still care about a two state solution.

Won't do a thing to improve the situation there.

I'd be fine with us defunding the tax charity box for Israel, let private donations fill those coffers.

I click on your link and I get 'CARRIE FISHER DEAD' and I don't quite see how it relates.

Maybe you mean this?

Thanks.

I was just thinking about the fact that Senate Republicans have denied a president twice elected by a clear, significant majority his legitimate nomination of a Supreme Court Justice, so now the vacancy will be filled by a president elected by a popular minority, with the assistance of a foreign power.
Just the icing on the cake. White, racist icing.

Carter's NY Times op-ed, from November 28th. Maybe this is where the link should go instead of the brief summary from Democracy Now.
It's a nice idea, but even with Obama's last minute jabbing at Netanyahu over the settlements the two-state solution is pretty much dead in the water.

I'm all for it, but Palestinian statehood is not something that's going to get hammered together while Barack is tying his shoes on the way out the door.

When he announced the brain cancer diagnosis I expected the worst.
Now I'm thinking that Carter might be an immortal.

He eats cancer for breakfast. He is the one man Chuck Norris fears.

Chuck Norris is a fucking pussy.

Netanyahu 'told New Zealand backing UN vote would be declaration of war'

Israeli PM reportedly warned that support for motion on settlements would ‘rupture relations’ between two countries


I am beginning to think Bibi wants a war. Before the Iran agreement the Israels made it clear that if Iran got closer to a bomb that they would attack them alone if necessary.

Well Obama Clinton and Kerry got the p5+1together and levied sanctions that actually hurt Iran came to the bargaining table and the p5 got pretty much what they asked for.

Instantly Bibi shows up before the deal is done inserts himself into US politics something they have strictly avoided up until this time say this deal will put them in mortal danger...even though all of the evidence to the contrary.

At the same time Obama is being called President Obama: ‘Patron’ Of The Israeli Occupation

Now anybody who dare say anything about they stealing Palestinian land is a act of war.
