He said a Palestinian state has become “unviable.”<br /><br />“We’ve reached a crisis stage,” said Carter, 88. “The two-state solution is the only realistic path to peace and security for Israel and the Palestinians.”<br /><br />http://washington.cbslocal.com/2012/10/22/jimmy-carter-claims-israel-creating-catastrophic-situation-with-palestinians/Doodadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349941094682080146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-54431191824749963942012-10-21T22:36:48.467-07:002012-10-21T22:36:48.467-07:00It's up to Israelis to decide if they want to ...It's up to Israelis to decide if they want to divide Jerusalem, is what I think. I trust they'll make the right call.<br /><br />If it were up to me, I'd tell Abbas and Company to go shit in the ocean. So-called "East Jerusalem" is yet another Palestinian fiction which I do not buy.<br /><br />If the price for a real peace involves dividing the city, however, I'd bite my tongue and trust Israel knew best. Although divided cities do not, and can not, work. I'll support Israel's ultimate final call either way.JayinPhiladelphiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556212008313470286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-85112805577651384102012-10-21T22:09:45.510-07:002012-10-21T22:09:45.510-07:00This is a tough one, Jay.
