Um, yes. That is his full sentence. He said the U.S. and Israel:
1. decided to punish all the people in Palestine; and
2. did everything they could to deter a compromise between Hamas and Fatah.
I find (1) above to be a poor choice of words and the second part does not help. It is an irrational, emotional blurt that is embarrassing for an ex President to utter. This is also not his first time for slips like this. Lastly, Carter did not talk about "a policy that promotes a deterioration in....." as Ty so eloquently speaks. Carter, instead, said our country made the decision to dole out punishment to Palestinians. I expect him to choose his words more carefully, especially when millions of people will be talking about the U.S. President who admitted that the U.S. (and Israel) is out to get Muslims. That is my view; thank you for listening.
