He called repeatedly for the return of Palestinian refugees to the territories, beyond what is called for in the Geneva Accord.
Senior government [Israeli] officials dismissed Carter's comments as irrelevant. "Does anyone really care what Carter has to say?" one said.

Carter said the main flaw of the US-brokered road map is its step-by-step approach, which he said has allowed Israel to stop its advance by building "an enormous barrier wall" and with "the colonization of Gaza."
"The people support a peace settlement, but political leaders are the obstacle to peace," he said.

Hundreds of Israelis and Palestinians joined Nobel Peace Prize winners yesterday for a ceremony filled with song and hope, celebrating an unofficial peace accord intended to guide their peoples out of conflict.

"The alternative, and the only alternative, to this initiative is sustained and permanent violence," former U.S. president Jimmy Carter said at the conference. "It is unlikely that we shall ever see a more promising foundation for peace."
�
Canada welcomed the accord.
"We welcome the Geneva initiative as a complement to the road map process and a reflection of the aspirations of the Israeli and Palestinian people to achieve a just and lasting peace," said Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham.
The event ended with a song called Generation Demands Peace, written for the event and sung by the Palestinian group Dam and the Israeli group Fools of Prophecy

Carter put the blame for Mideast terrorism - and that would include attacks such as those on the World Trade Center and Pentagon - not on the shoulders of the Islamofascists. He unequivocally blamed President Bush...

Carter, who failed at achieving peace, joins the Hollywood chorus that looks the other way at Islamic atrocities, while advancing the fiction that selling out Israel will stop the carnage.
