Jimmy Carter Gushes Over Gush Etzion?

Whoa.

Former US president Jimmy Carter met with Gush Etzion Regional Council head Shaul Goldstein in his home on Sunday and issued a surprising declaration of support for the settlement bloc.

"This particular settlement area is not one I envisage ever being abandoned or changed over into Palestinian territory," Carter said in Goldstein's Neve Daniel home. "This is part of the close settlements to the 1967 line that I think will be here forever."

I don't know who Shaul Goldstein is, but can he invite Obama to his home next?
