Now explain to me what Carter gets and why he thinks Isreal is the worse violators of human rights in the world. You must agree as you seemed to hug his book like a Right Wing Christian hugs his bible.
I explained "what Carter gets" in the previous post. Here it is again:

"Obama has a strong interest in, and understanding of, the myriad of complexities involving the various countries in the middle east. Tribal relations, power struggles, economics, historic, religious, etc. Carter had (and has) the same. Both "get it" - that it's an incredibly complicated, multi-layered area of the world."

Obama - with his family history, having an understanding of Muslim culture - that helps him "get" the middle east, too. His speech in Cairo was broadly hailed in the middle east as he showed his understanding of area idiosyncrasies. He is intelligent and articulate regarding general middle eastern area concepts, and the middle east even points it out.

Carter, through the years of his Presidency and since, also has a strong and complex understanding of middle eastern issues.

You should probably stop assuming what other people think or agree to. Makes you look silly.

If you want to discuss the state of Isreal, and the best way to achieve middle eastern peace in it's various regions - go for it and open a different thread about it.

It has nothing to do with what I posted about Obama, and mentioned about Carter.
