Jimmy Carter: “The true measure of success is how we contribute to the well-being of others.”

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

I recognize that Israel is a wonderful democracy with freedom of speech and equality of treatment under the law between Arab Israelis and Jewish Israelis.

I fear for our democracy.
