Jimmy Carter: “This is a complicated and difficult matter.”

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

The title was very carefully chosen by me. And the first word is the most important. It's Palestine. The land of the Palestinians. It doesn't refer to Israel at all.

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 don't think the administration has ever picked up the ball, much less dropped it.
