Jimmy Carter: “I will nominate David E. McGiffert to be an Assistant Secretary of Defense.”

I watched him on television. I thought what he said was absolutely ridiculous. There's no rational or logic to what he had to say.

But inside Palestine, outside of Israel, where the Israelis occupying forces are there, the persecution and deprivation of the Palestinians is horrendous.

Base on what I just said, which I can't retract.

This is a very wise and very courageous thing for President Obama to do. And in my opinion, is long overdue.
