He is quite lucid and insightful. BTW he did not blame the Paris attacks on Israel. That's just a RW headline -- total lie. Be less gullible, Moth.

It is a RW headline, but it's not a lie.

If I tell you the barking of a furry animal with a tail, commonly called man's best friend, that likes milk bones and chases squirrels prevents me from sleeping, would it be a 'lie' for a headline to say:

'Jazz Blames Dog for Sleeplessness'

Admittedly, not everyone would see the connection, just as not everyone can connect what Carter said to the headline.

You specifically said that the dog keeps you from sleeping, while Carter didn't say a word about Israel. You suggest Israel is to blame. It is called projection. Of course in your case you were played into thinking it. Someone manipulated your thoughts, and by the looks of it, it was not very difficult.

It is a lie. Carter didn't say it nor can you reasonably infer it as his position from listening to the interview. RWers are incredibly gullible.

He'll probably write another book now.
Was he wrong?

I guess he chould have just replied I can't publicly address your question because others will claim whatever I say as an attack on Israel for event I wouldn't even be referencing.

Because Carter didn't say what some are claiming.

Stewart would have had to conclude hey I know you didn't say it, but I'm going to have to challenge you on your totally valid assertion because of what others are going to claim you just said.

I never used the word 'dog,' just as Carter never used the word 'Israel.' What you call 'projection' is actually knowledge of Carter's long held view of who is responsible for the 'Palestinian problem.'

John Stewart's country is The United States of America-apparently yours is not.

The US was founded on the basis of freedom of religion- all religions, so I will never understand why our Government and many right-wingers stoop to the barbaric level of the Middle East and entangle themselves in ancient religious feuds that we haven't had to deal with for Centuries before involving ourselves in that hellish and backwards region.

I also don't see how exactly Jimmy Carter "blamed Israel". It seems many on here just have a strong hate for the man.

The US needs to leave the Middle East, never return and try to save our own country.
