Jimmy Carter: “We have an impending shortage of energy which can be almost catastrophic if it's not dealt with early and effectively.”

the federal, state and local government process to get the money appropriated to the families so they can start rebuilding their homes is a total disaster.

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

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.

Without immediate action, we are at genuine risk of civil conflict and losing our precious democracy.
