Obviously the Israelis did it because they're modern-day Nazis who practice apartheid and treat the Palestinians as subhuman. It all makes sense now!

A minor nitpick, Marty -- The Jerusalem Post only publishes in English.

All I can say is, what a price Israelis pay for being a moral people.

the Israelis have every right to be Out Of Their F...... Minds It's their country, not yours.

Well, at least governmenr officials are not meeting with Carter.

What a dumb comment, Jacobt1.

Jackson, came by to see what the Israelis have done to raise Marty's ire, and saw your "dumb" comment.

As always, a helpful addition to the discourse.

My suggestion to the rest of the TNR crowd, why don't we let Jackson and Marty have the Spine as their own echo chamber.  Save Jackson the bother of having to whack everyone else with insults.

icarusr, yes do stay out of here; no loss for anyone. Go back to the "Oh say can't you see how wonderful Obama is" plank threads.

Not all Israelis "are out of their minds:"

By ASSOCIATED PRESS

"President Shimon Peres criticized former US president Jimmy Carter for his latest book in which he called Israel an apartheid state.  Peres said that despite Carter's achievements at Camp David, his activities over the last few years had caused great damage to Israel and the peace process...."

"PLO: We'll drive Israel out of Palestine"

Jerusalem Post Staff , THE JERUSALEM POST  Apr. 13, 2008

""The PLO is the sole legitimate representative [of the Palestinian people], and it has not changed its platform even one iota."

That's what the PLO's ambassador to Lebanon, Abbas Zaki, told Lebanon's NBN TV in an interview that aired last Wednesday and was translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

"In light of the weakness of the Arab nation and the lack of values, and in light of the American control over the world, the PLO proceeds through phases, without changing its strategy. Let me tell you, when the ideology of Israel collapses, and we take, at least, Jerusalem, the Israeli ideology will collapse in its entirety, and we will begin to progress with our own ideology, Allah willing, and drive them out of all of Palestine," added Zaki.

The clip can be viewed at www.memritv.org/.../1738.htm.

And in a sermon televised on Friday, Yunis al-Astal, a Hamas MP and cleric, told worshipers that Islam would soon conquer Rome, "the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital, which has declared its hostility to Islam, and which has planted the brothers of apes and pigs in Palestine in order to prevent the reawakening of Islam," just as Constantinople was.

Rome, he said, would become "an advanced post for the Islamic conquests which will spread through Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, and even Eastern Europe."

In his address aired on Hamas's Al-Aksa TV and also translated by MEMRI, Astal told his audience: "Allah has chosen you for himself and for his religion, so that you will serve as the engine pulling this nation to the phase of succession, security, and consolidation of power, and even to conquests through da'wa [preaching] and military conquests of the capitals of the entire world."

"I believe that our children or our grandchildren will inherit our jihad and our sacrifices, and Allah willing, the commanders of the conquest will come from among them. Today, we instill these good tidings in their souls, and by means of the mosques and the Koran books, and the history of our prophet, his companions, and the great leaders, we prepare them for the mission of saving humanity from the hellfire on the brink of which they stand."
