I would say that any person that thinks Israel is the greatest human rights violator in the world obviously has no understanding of the Middle East.
Let me ask you a simple question: do you understand that there is a difference between realizing that a situation is complex, being aware of the complexities and interactions and influences within a situation, yet then choosing actions that do not engender the best outcome?

Handicappers demonstrate that daily

Again your answer with a question speaks volumes to those who 'get you'

Try again,

If a person (Carter) says that Israel is the greatest human right violator in the world, do you think that is consistent with having a great understaing of the Middle East?

And I don't know how you survive the world, seeing issues in the simplistic black and white terms of a six-year-old.

You guys don't even realize that you are actually attacking someone who is agreeing with your own politics on this.

Complete morons

answer the question! How hard is it?

Again, "If a person (Carter) says that Israel is the greatest human right violator in the world, do you think that is consistent with having a great understaing of the Middle East?"

Apparently they couldn't understand all the words the first time.

Yes!

I just don't understand with that realization how one would come up with even the thought of Israel being greatest human right violator in the world?

To cite and give a man who thinks such that accolade is sickening IMO and that's why this dog won't lay down!

Now please once again Riot concentate and answer, "If a person (Carter) says that Israel is the greatest human right violator in the world, do you think that is consistent with having a great understaing of the Middle East?"

I don't know why Riot doesn't just admit that she made a mistake. I will admit that at one time I assumed that Carter had a pretty good understanding of the Middle East. I thought he did a fairly good job on the Middle East when he was President.

I was literally flabergasted when I heard some of the statements he made in later years such as the one about Israel being the greatest human-rights violator in the world. I have lost all respect for Carter. After listening to some of his statements in later years, I think he is totally clueless on the Middle East. Not only is he clueless, he is also an obvious Israel-hater. It took him a while to come out of the closet, but he eventually did.

Riot, you do have moral ambiguity, and so do these Conservatives. When he (and that bitch Hillary) failed to honor their promises to recognize the Armenian Genocide, did Conservatives care (that he lied?) Not much. They wanted their "Moderate" pet Muslim Friend happy. Well, now that friend is helping Hamas. That so called friend's Gov't put a 100 terrorists on boats that were supposed to be full of Humanitarian activists. Conservatives should of backed the Armenian Genocide Resolution, but they lacked moral clarity. They wanted a base in Turkey. So they could keep these two loser wars going on.

I have no "moral ambiguity". I know exactly where I stand on moral issues. Especially when I hear hate-filled crap.

Yes, I understand that. It is conceivable in theory that someone could understand the complexities of a situation or conflict yet not be good at solving it. I will give in to you on that point.

But now I would like you to answer my question. If a person (Carter) says that Israel is the greatest human right violator in the world, do you think that is consistent with having a great understaing of the Middle East?

I think that anyone that would make such a statement clearly does not have a good understanding of the Middle East.
