Jimmy Carter ties Paris terror to ‘Palestinian problem’

Former US president Jimmy Carter said on Jon Stewart’s “The Daily Show” that “the Palestinian problem” is one of the causes of the violent terror attack during which four Jews were murdered in a Paris supermarket.

Carter was answering a question by Stewart on whether the violence stems from anything other than Islamic extremism.

“This aggravates people who are affiliated in any way with the Arab people who live in the West Bank and Gaza, what they are doing now — what’s being done to them. So I think that’s part of it,” Carter said.
