Jimmy Carter: Hamas PR Agent

Fri, May 9, 2008 at 10:56:24 am PST

Here’s Jimmy Carter shilling for Hamas again, with an article in the Guardian that lets his mask slip a little more than usual: Jimmy Carter: A human rights crime.

The world is witnessing a terrible human rights crime in Gaza, where a million and a half human beings are being imprisoned with almost no access to the outside world. An entire population is being brutally punished.

This gross mistreatment of the Palestinians in Gaza was escalated dramatically by Israel, with United States backing, after political candidates representing Hamas won a majority of seats in the Palestinian Authority parliament in 2006. The election was unanimously judged to be honest and fair by all international observers.

Israel and the US refused to accept the right of Palestinians to form a unity government with Hamas and Fatah and now, after internal strife, Hamas alone controls Gaza. Forty-one of the 43 victorious Hamas candidates who lived in the West Bank have been imprisoned by Israel, plus an additional 10 who assumed positions in the short-lived coalition cabinet.

Hey, Jimmuh...suppose, just for the sake of argument, that the Hamas regime agreed to Israel's right to exist, foreswore any and all violence against Israel and its citizens, and set about building a civil society within the Gaza strip.

How do you suppose the lot of the Palestinian people would change?

Just askin'....

#16 lawhawk 5/09/08 11:02:22 am 10

Hmmm, the way this was written: (Jimmy Carter: A Human Rights Crime) is really too close to the truth. Carter's actions, words, and deeds are indeed a human rights crime. He's shilling for terrorists at every turn, and has no problem throwing Israel under a bus (the exploding kind).

Carter's refusal to deal with the reality - that both Fatah and Hamas refuse to accept a two-state solution, and both still seek Israel's ultimate destruction is a sign of pseudorealism. He's engaging in diplomacy in fairy-tale land, with his own set of facts and logic, which is totally estranged from reality.

The reality is too grim for him to understand. Israel does not have a partner in peace. In fact, Israel faces only an existential threat from those supposed partners in peace - as their terms and conditions for even talking are to subvert Israel's security and sovereignty.

#17 buzzsawmonkey 5/09/08 11:02:36 am 5

Israel and the US refused to accept the right of Palestinians to form a unity government with Hamas and Fatah and now, after internal strife, Hamas alone controls Gaza.

I was under the distinct impression that Hamas now controls Gaza because it murdered the Fatah thugs who were there. In other words, the "unity government" of Hamas and Fatah died in a hail of bullets that the adherents of those two organizations directed at each other.

Israel and the US never opposed the "right" of the "Palestinians" to form whatever government they chose. Israel merely exercised its right to refuse to give such a government any consideration whatsoever, beyond minimal services to the population under its heel.

Yeah, I know, people will say I should have known he hated Israel after the "Apartheid" book. And, I did. But still, I held it in my mind as a possibility that he still really did want to try to make the situation better.

I wonder when it will dawn on all the international do-gooders that when monsters have elections, they are likely to elect monsters.

Some of you attorney folks might call it circumstantial evidence. In Carter's case with regard, the overwhelming evidence proves guilt.

#30 ORD neighbor 5/09/08 11:04:43 am 2

By now, the fact of Dhimmi hating Jews is probably beginning to test the limits of newsworthiness for sane people. But for obvious reasons, this very fact bears repeating.

They've got a border with Egypt as well Jimmy.

An entire population is being brutally punished.

The Hamas leadership seems to be doing alright for themselves, plus they have money left over for munitions and producing propaganda.

This gross mistreatment of the Palestinians in Gaza was escalated dramatically by Israel, with United States backing, after political candidates representing Hamas won a majority of seats in the Palestinian Authority parliament in 2006. The election was unanimously judged to be honest and fair by all international observers.

Just because they elect terrorists does not mean we have to stop treating them like terrorists. That the elections were supposedly fair just means the population support terrorists.

Israel and the US refused to accept the right of Palestinians to form a unity government with Hamas and Fatah and now, after internal strife, Hamas alone controls Gaza.

Again, the Palis are free to form whatever form of government they desire, but we are under no obligation to work with it. The fact that Gaza is now under Hamas control has infinately more to do with their stated goals and beliefs than our decision not to deal with them.

Forty-one of the 43 victorious Hamas candidates who lived in the West Bank have been imprisoned by Israel, plus an additional 10 who assumed positions in the short-lived coalition cabinet.

And again, deciding to call a terrorist a political leader does not make him any less a terrorist.

Jimmy, please just go away

#41 TimK 5/09/08 11:07:27 am 0

Jimmy forgets that the Palistinians in Gaza hold the key to their jail in their own pockets. Merely acting like civilized members of the human race would make their existance far more tolerable. Gaza should be a vacation destination, but it is not because the Palis think it is their allah givin right to send rockets to explode in Iarael.
Jimmy should know that there are consequences for one's actions or non-actions. As in why Jimmy only had one term in the White House after he allowed the country to wallow in a malaise the he created.

re: #35 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

Yes, they have a border with Egypt, which Hamas promptly breached and launched an invasion into that sovereign country.

Egypt sealed the border because they didn't want Hamas thugs in their country either.

As for the rest of your fisking, spot on. Deciding to call a terrorist a political leader does not make him any less a terrorist. It's the same thing with the nonsensical claims of forming political and military wings of terror groups - they're still terrorists and their goals haven't changed. They still seek Israel's destruction.

The palestinians, if actions are taken into acount and poll results considered, are only human in the strictest biological sense.

They are in-humane in every other sense.

Their depravity and culturally inculcated hatred (lubricated by Islam) is so pervasive that is has literally smashed the instinctual human bonds of a parent for its child.

They practice child sacrifice. What more needs to be said?

On a recent trip through the Middle East, I attempted to gain a better understanding of the crisis. One of my visits was to Sderot, a community of about 20,000 in southern Israel that is frequently struck by rockets fired from nearby Gaza. I condemned these attacks as abominable acts of terrorism, since most of the 13 victims during the past seven years have been non-combatants.

Subsequently, I met with leaders of Hamas - a delegation from Gaza and the top officials in Damascus. I made the same condemnation to them, and urged that they declare a unilateral ceasefire or orchestrate with Israel a mutual agreement to terminate all military action in and around Gaza for an extended period.

They responded that such action by them in the past had not been reciprocated, and they reminded me that Hamas had previously insisted on a ceasefire throughout Palestine, including Gaza and the West Bank, which Israel had refused. Hamas then made a public proposal of a mutual ceasefire restricted to Gaza, which the Israelis also rejected.

Is Carter anti-semitic or just terminally stupid?

I guess he won't shut up until Israel is a smoldering crater and the islamic flag flies over the White House (January 2009 anyone?)

I think I need to become like most of the people I know, willfully ignorant, because reading about this crap day after day is just too depressing.

Then, to see the vicious infighting I have observed here, that is even worse. Some of the posts on the earlier threads sounded just like moonbats - "if you don't agree with me you are stupid and evil", on poster even said, if you teach you children about God, you are committing child abuse? WTF? Here? Never thought I would see it.

I understand that my fears sometimes are "over the top" as Noam told me the other day. No, we probably won't turn into Zimbabwe if Obama is elected. I think it will be worse...Dem congress, Dem White House, Dem Media, Dem courts....we don't stand a chance. We may not be brown-shirted out of our homes, but we will be taxed and regulated out of our homes.
