Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100

Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. While remembered for his humanitarian work and diplomacy, Carter’s legacy also includes his fearless critique of Israel’s occupation of Palestine.

A Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Carter was one of the first U.S. presidents to publicly denounce the abuse of Palestinian rights, warning Americans about the powerful forces preventing honest discussions about Israel.

“Americans don’t want to know what’s happening there,” he once said, referencing the media and political establishments shielding the truth.

Carter’s advocacy for peace extended beyond words—he pushed against apartheid policies in the region, even as he faced backlash for calling it as he saw it. His commitment to truth and justice set him apart in a political landscape often defined by silence on these issues.

As the world mourns a humanitarian and peace advocate, it’s worth revisiting his courage in speaking out for those whose voices are silenced.
