Here is a most enlightening interview on ABC Radio (Australia's National Radio) with Ex-President Carter:

Elders group seeks peace

The following exchange illustrates the shoddy propaganda tactics used by Carter to blacken Israel's image:

ANNE BARKER: Do you believe though that the two peoples are becoming more divided; that this generation of both peoples seem to have less and less contact than they did in the past?

JIMMY CARTER: There's no doubt about that. I think the recent regimes in Israel have wanted to see this divide emphasised.

Just a few years ago there were 40 or 50,000 Palestinians every day going in and out across the 67 borders, working in jobs in Israel. Trade and commerce was going on.

The Israelis have stopped all of that intercommunication and they even prohibit the Arabs who live in Israel and who are citizens of Israel from being able to visit their friends and relatives across the narrow border which you can see just standing on the hill top.

So I think the Israelis have decided to clamp down and to prevent any more intercommunication than is absolutely necessary. That needs to be changed. Odd, he seems to have forgotten about the spate of suicide bombings that were initiated by the Palestinian Arabs against Israeli civilians in the wake of Ehud Barak's peace offer in 2000/2001. Of course the murderous suicide bombing campaign had nothing to do with the divide that has been created by the two peoples (and the restrictions imposed by Israel), eh President Carter?

On ya Carter for trying to fool my fellow Australians about this conflict. Hopefully there will be many who will see through your shoddy and biased tactics ...
