Jimmy Carter Says Israel ‘Pressured’ And Encouraged Christians To Leave Palestine (Video)

Gaza Christians were warned in 2007 that in order for them to remain in Gaza… they must accept strict Islamic Law. This meant that all women would be expected to cover themselves up when in public.

A woman walks in the burned premises of the Rosary Sisters School and nearby convent, belonging to the Gaza Strip’s tiny Roman Catholic community, in Gaza City, Monday June 18, 2007. The premises were ransacked, partially burned and looted during clashes between Fatah and Hamas around a major security headquarters. Crosses were broken, a statue of Jesus was damaged, and prayer books were burnt at the school and nearby convent, said Father Manuel Musallem, head of Gaza’s Latin church. (AP Photo/Khalil Hamra)

In the early 20th century, Christians were much higher percentages in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and in most Muslim majority countries of the region. Their ongoing exodus began well before Israel’s creation.

But, that didn’t stop Jimmy Carter from attacking Israel yesterday.
The former worst president said Israel “pressured and encouraged Christians to leave Israel.”
Via Breitbart TV:

From the video:
“When I first went to Israel about 15% of the Palestinians were Christians… Now they’ve almost been removed from Palestine because of some pressures and encouragement from the Israelis.”

Just another sad old Soviet lying to protect his Islamic allies. We really got to get back into who was behind the economic terrorism attack on America in 2008.

So, Jimmy – is it Fatah or Hamas that are the “Israelis”? Because I don’t see any Israeli women being forced into hag bags in public.

Since when has Judea and Samaria become palestine? Gaza, turned over to arabs, has turned into a garden spot, right? Jimmy Caeter is not only a fool, but an evil liar. How much money does he get from his arab friends. We have the best communist politicians that money can buy.

It must be terrible to have a too tight foreskin choking off blood to to the head, leaving Carter’s brains oxygen starved!

What hell awaits Carter. Can’t come soon enough. That is one funeral I will be happy to watch.

Israel would rather live with islamists in its midst than Christians.

This is such a ridiculous statement. Muslims, Islamic extremists, KILL Christians, and Jews and Hindis and Buddhists. Israel had nothing to do with this. They may have warned Christians about the danger of trying to live under such barbaric conditions, but so would I. Look at Egypt. Just look at what the Arab spring has become and you can see the vile muslim movement for what it is; a militant takeover. Next they start killing each other because the other is not muslim enough.

Carter is NOT a Christian why does he care? The media tries to push him off as Christian much as they do Obama. I guess they can fool the rubes.

btw:

the great late dr michael debakey – one of the greatest heart surgeons of all time – was born in lebanon.

a christian family.

his family fled islamo-thuggery just after the turn of the century – 20th century!

christians once were the majority in lebanon. jews did not kick them out.

in fact – all of egypt was christian. they fled and were coerced into islam by the same thuggery.

carter is an evil evil evil thing.

++++++++

This sounds like BS to me; however, I can think of one [peanut farmer] Christian to which this statement might apply.

And there is no better example than the city of Bethlehem: during Israeli “occupation” Christians were terrorized, chased out and forced to convert to Judaism, but after Israel’s withdrawal Christianity has flourished.

Of course one can extrapolate to Egypt, Tunisia, Pakistan, Libya and Malaysia. It is all IDF fault, you see?

Jimmy Carter has a long proud history of anti Zionism. He and his supporters claim he is not, nor that he is an anti semite. The facts speak for themselves. He is the best advocate enemies of Israel and world Jewery could have.

I just rewatched Lord of the Rings. Isn’t this where Gandalf should smack Jimmy Carter with his staff because he’s ranting like an imbecile?

Funny that someone mentioned Lord of the Rings. It is certainly reminiscent of the situation in the Middle East.
