"Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has said Israel holds at least 150 nuclear weapons, the first time a U.S. president has publicly acknowledged Israel's atomic arsenal.
Asked at a news conference at Wales's Hay literary festival on Sunday how a future U.S. president should deal with the Iranian nuclear threat, Carter put the risk in context by listing atomic weapons held globally.
"The U.S. has more more than 12,000 nuclear weapons, the Soviet Union (Russia) has about the same, Great Britain and France have several hundred, and Israel has 150 or more. We have a phalanx of enormous weaponry ... not only of enormous weaponry but of rockets to deliver those missiles on a pinpoint accuracy target," he said, according to a transcript of his remarks.
Carter also condemned Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip as "one of the greatest human rights crimes now existing on Earth," according to the Agence France-Presse news agency. "

Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

carter better watch his back before israel kidnaps him and imprisons him like vanunu
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way
Nuclear Threat Is From Israel NOT Iran. If this secret never came out where would we be today?

'Former Israeli military intelligence chief Aharon Zeevi-Farkash told Reuters news agency he considered Mr Carter's comments "irresponsible".
"The problem is that there are those who can use these statements when it comes to discussing the international effort to prevent Iran getting nuclear weapons," he said.
During the press briefing, Mr Carter expressed his support for Israel as a country, but criticised its domestic and foreign policy.
"One of the greatest human rights crimes on earth is the starvation and imprisonment of 1.6m Palestinians," he said.
The former US president cited statistics which he said showed the nutritional intake of some Palestinian children was below that of children in Sub-Saharan Africa..'

israel is the problem
arm palestine like we arm israel...
...would put an end to suicide bombings and rocks being thrown
sadly - although that would level the playing field ... it wouldn't put an end to this situation ...

"We hope that the Zionist entity will be peacefully dismantled and that an independent Palestinian state will be established here."

i remember the day the iranian hostages were taken. and i find it an interesting moment in history that carter was thwarted in his attempts to secure their release and yet the reagan administration managed it with relative ease.
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
Because the Iranians weren't going to let him have one moment of glory and they were scarred shitless of RR. He wasn't going to take any crap and they knew it. All you have to do is remember the time before the election in '80 to know what the American people thought of him. He's a nightmare.

Catrer orchestrated a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. Not a point of that treaty has been breached in nearly 30 years.
scared shitless of reagan my arse. have you any idea of the back room shenanigans that went on at that time? how implicit the CIA was in it all?
excuse me if i dont take into account the mindset of the american public when it comes to their choice of president. you all voted nixon in for fucks sake. :rolleyes:

Carter secured the hostages release. Reagan may have committed treason by subverting the president of the united states and prolonging the hostage crisis; by bowing to Iran -giving Iran weapons to delay the release of hostages for domestic politics.
It was more like 30 years and it was his ONE shinning moment. Do you remember the state he left the economy? We were in a huge recession when RR took over. Interest rates were near 20% and unemployment was in double digits, too.

Are we talking about the economy or about Arab-Israli conflict?
maybe, maybe not
but it was tongue in cheek (a modest proposal)
Your proof? RR was the greatest president of my lifetime. (I was born during the nightmare that was LBJ. - Vietnam and the Great Society)

I would go the opposite way by takin away Israel's weapons to the same with Palestine and see what happens at that point.

That's like saying Lou Pinella is the greatest manager the Devil Rays ever had.
RR handed out bandaids while we continued to bleed internally. If the Soviet Union wasn't "bleeding out" faster than the US at the time due to massive military overspending (RR only glorious moment " tear down that wall Mr Gorbachev...") RR is just another in a long line of military overspending presidents we've had.

The economy was a mess because the economy was manipulated by certain corporations and financial institutions.
That's why it was a mess.
