Carter had never been to a settlement before last month, when he visited Shaul Goldstein, head of the Gush Etzion council. Carter left the meeting, walked up to the cameras and said:
"This particular settlement (Gush Etzion) is not one that I envision ever being abandoned or changed over into Palestinian territory. This is part of the close settlements to the 1967 line that I think will be here forever."
Jimmy Carter, June 14, 2009
Remember: Jimmy Carter`s words, not mine, and the meeting was held at his request, not Goldstein`s. |
