–Jimmy Carter unknowingly explains the real problem in Gaza — in one sentence

Mitchell’s laws:
●Those, who do not understand the differences between Monetary Sovereignty and monetary non-sovereignty, do not understand economics.
●The more federal budgets are cut and taxes increased, the weaker an economy becomes. .
Liberals think the purpose of government is to protect the poor and powerless from the rich and powerful. Conservatives think the purpose of government is to protect the rich and powerful from the poor and powerless.
●Austerity is the government’s method for widening
the gap between rich and poor.
●Until the 99% understand the need for federal deficits, the upper 1% will rule.
To survive long term, a monetarily non-sovereign government must have a positive balance of payments.
●Everything in economics devolves to motive,
and the motive is the Gap.

In just one sentence, Jimmy Carter articulated the real problem in Gaza. He just didn’t realize it.

Former President Jimmy Carter: Gaza situation ‘intolerable’

JERUSALEM (AP) — Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter said Saturday that eight months after a bloody war in the Gaza Strip the situation there remains “intolerable.”

Carter and his delegation were supposed to visit the isolated territory but earlier this week called it off citing unspecified security concerns.

Speaking to reporters in Jerusalem, Carter said he was still determined to work for a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza.

Those “unspecified security concerns” meant Carter felt he wasn’t safe in the very land he says should be an independent state.

This is the land that vows to destroy Israel, but at the same time, Carter wants Israel to grant it more land for rocket launches.

And here is the definitive Jimmy Carter statement about Gaza and Palestine:

“What we have seen and heard only strengthens our determination to work for peace,” he said. “The situation in Gaza is intolerable.

“Eight months after a devastating war, not one destroyed house has been rebuilt and people cannot live with the respect and dignity they deserve.”

Think about it. In eight months, Hamas has not rebuilt one house. Meanwhile, its work has been going forward furiously to build bigger, stronger, longer attack tunnels.

That is where all that concrete, Israel allow to enter, has gone — concrete Hamas said it would use for house-building, has been diverted for terrorist tunnels.

Is is any wonder the people of Gaza cannot live with respect and dignity? They live under a cruel and aggressive terrorist regime that cares nothing for peace, and cares nothing for the people of Gaza. In fact it uses its own civilians as human shields, when it fires its rockets.

Carter and the political innocents worldwide may wish for a “two-state solution.” They complain Israel does not allow it.

But this is not what Hamas wants. For Hamas, the sole goal is the destruction of Israel, regardless of the pain that effort causes its own people.

Not peace. Not the adorable “two-state solution,” so beloved in the imaginations of the naive left and on college campuses.

No, Hamas wants only the power that comes with telling its people that somehow, their salvation lies with the destruction of Israel, and the death of all Jews.

“Not one destroyed house has been rebuilt.”

Jimmy Carter, the perennial apologist for terrorism and critic of Israel, could not have explained it better.

The Ten Steps to Prosperity:

1. Eliminate FICA (Click here)
2. Federally funded Medicare — parts A, B & D plus long term nursing care — for everyone (Click here)
3. Provide an Economic Bonus to every man, woman and child in America, and/or every state a per capita Economic Bonus. (Click here) Or institute a reverse income tax.
4. Federally funded, free education (including post-grad) for everyone. Click here
5. Salary for attending school (Click here)
6. Eliminate corporate taxes (Click here)
7. Increase the standard income tax deduction annually. (Refer to this.)
8. Tax the very rich (.1%) more, with higher, progressive tax rates on all forms of income. (Click here)
9. Federal ownership of all banks (Click here and here)
10. Increase federal spending on the myriad initiatives that benefit America’s 99% (Click here)

Initiating The Ten Steps sequentially will add dollars to the economy, stimulate the economy, and narrow the income/wealth/power Gap between the rich and the rest.

10 Steps to Economic Misery: (Click here:)
1. Maintain or increase the FICA tax..
2. Spread the myth Social Security, Medicare and the U.S. government are insolvent.
3. Cut federal employment in the military, post office, other federal agencies.
4. Broaden the income tax base so more lower income people will pay.
5. Cut financial assistance to the states.
6. Spread the myth federal taxes pay for federal spending.
7. Allow banks to trade for their own accounts; save them when their investments go sour.
8. Never prosecute any banker for criminal activity.
9. Nominate arch conservatives to the Supreme Court.
10. Reduce the federal deficit and debt

No nation can tax itself into prosperity, nor grow without money growth. Monetary Sovereignty: Cutting federal deficits to grow the economy is like applying leeches to cure anemia.
1. A growing economy requires a growing supply of dollars (GDP=Federal Spending + Non-federal Spending + Net Exports)
2. All deficit spending grows the supply of dollars
3. The limit to federal deficit spending is an inflation that cannot be cured with interest rate control.
4. The limit to non-federal deficit spending is the ability to borrow.

Vertical gray bars mark recessions.

As the federal deficit growth lines drop, we approach recession, which will be cured only when the growth lines rise. Increasing federal deficit growth (aka “stimulus”) is necessary for long-term economic growth.

Gaza has a population density twice that of the Bronx, app. 13,500 people per sq. mile. How is it possible to sustain any tolerable living conditions with-out the basics, food water and medical care?

    1. I guess you didn’t read the post before you dove right in.

      The myth that Israel haters love to promulgate is that the Gazans are being starved to death by blockades.

      100% false.

      Israel allows plenty of food, water, electricity and yes, even the above-mentioned cement, to enter.

      The problem is that Hamas mistreats its own people. If Isreal treated Gazans as ruthlessly as Hamas treats Gazans, the situation there would be far worse than it is.

      But Hamas takes the necessities for its fighters and politicians. And as for that cement, which was supposed to be used to rebuild houses: It’ s used for attack tunnels.

      You really should read a few articles about Hamas’s brutality toward Gazans before you parrot the Israel-haters line.

      And visualize what Israel would be if Hamas ever took over.

    1. Rich, I published this to demonstrate the massive bullshit surrounding the entire “war.”

      First, your own “both sides” comment was bullshit, because the article is a one-sided, propaganda piece by — get this — Ali Abunimah of Electronic Intifada. Gee, I wonder how fair minded Ali Abunimah is.

      Second, if killing civilians in war was a war crime, which nation on earth is innocent? Please name the innocent nation.

      Why has Israel, of all nations, been singled out? The Jews know the answer to that one.

      Jew-hatred by fools has lasted 2,000 years, with no respite. I guess there is no shortage of fools and no shortage of hatred.

      If the haters spent less time hating Jews, and abusing women, they might win a Nobel or two rather than remaining stuck in the fifth century.

      Third, where is the war crimes investigation of all the suicide bombers sent by the Palestinians, which required Israel to build a wall?

      Fourth, firing rockets indiscriminately at civilians is not a war crime? I guess if one is so stupid as to fire rockets that land in the desert, one couldn’t be guilty of a war crime.???

      So now, that you have had your bullshit printed, do you feel happy?

  2. UN charges Israel with war crimes — is the US next?

    Did the (Israel Defense Forces) IDF actually commit war crimes by neglecting to protect innocents, as the McGowan Davis report argues? Military professionals beg to differ.

    In Gaza “Israel went to extraordinary lengths to limit collateral damage and civilian casualties,” the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, said last November.

    This month, a group of European, American and other former military commanders investigated the war and insisted they’d never heard of “any army that takes such extensive measures as did the IDF last summer to protect the lives of the civilian population.”

    Such testimony indicates that Israel’s asymmetric war against terrorism differs little from NATO’s or other armies’.

    President Obama must consider disavowing and defunding biased, purely political bodies like the Human Rights Council, and warn UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon that other UN bodies are next.

    America shouldn’t get anywhere near the ICC either, at least not until it conclusively proves that law, rather than global politics, guides its decisions.

    See, it’s like this. Terrorist organizations can slaughter civilians at will, and the UN will not complain. That is what terrorist organizations do.

    But if Israel, despite all its efforts, kills civilians along with terrorists, the UN is all atwitter, because it’s Israel.

    Understand?
