Carter: ...as a matter of fact, the concerns I exposed have gotten even worse now with the United States supporting and encouraging Israel in its unjustified attack on Lebanon.
SPIEGEL: But wasn't Israel the first to get attacked?
Carter: I don't think that Israel has any legal or moral justification for their massive bombing of the entire nation of Lebanon. What happened is that Israel is holding almost 10,000 prisoners, so when the militants in Lebanon or in Gaza take one or two soldiers, Israel looks upon this as a justification for an attack on the civilian population of Lebanon and Gaza. I do not think that's justified, no.
How sad is it when Israel depends on the German mainstream media to defend it against an American ex-president. Jimmy Carter sat in the box of honor (with Michael Moore) at the last Democratic convetnion. The same party which is itching to jettison the most well known orthodox Jew in American politics and whose rival proudly stands arm and arm with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
