My heart goes out to Jimmy Carter at this time. He worked so hard to bring peace and stability to

the Middle East. It must be a total gut punch at this phase of his life when he has done so much good. We have to fight hate or we get nowhere.

7. Henry Kissinger on Hamas attacks fallout: Germany let in too many foreigners

As a minority in Berlin cheer Hamas’ attacks on Israel, former top US diplomat says mass immigration was a ‘grave mistake.’

https://www.politico.eu/article/henry-kissinger-germany-let-in-way-too-many-foreigners/



Hamas’ attack against Israel being celebrated on the streets of Berlin indicates that Germany has let too many foreigners into the country, according to former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

“It was a grave mistake to let in so many people of totally different culture and religion and concepts, because it creates a pressure group inside each country that does that,” the 100-year-old ex-top American diplomat said in an interview with Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner for Germany’s Welt TV. Axel Springer is POLITICO’s parent company.

German-born Kissinger — who fled Nazi Germany with his family in 1938, and went on to become the architect of American foreign policy during the Vietnam War — said that it was “painful,” in response to a question about seeing Arabs in Berlin celebrating last weekend’s assault on Israel.

It’s very possible that Egypt and Jordan may cancel the treaties due to public opinion if this war continues for months.

But definitely hear you. So naive to think an outsider could fix this. They absolutely hate each other. Their children hate each other. Won't resolve in our lifetime. Bet President Carter figured that out long ago.

Made several trips there; talked with all major players. Reading his 2006 book on it, also we see Rosalynn was with him most of the time, doing her own meetings or going with him or taking notes.
