Terrorists Reject Carter
Jimmy Carter has finally found some terrorists who won’t hug him—because despite his long history of anti-Israel statements and actions, he’s just not antisemitic enough for them.
BEIRUT (AFP) – Lebanon’s militant group Hezbollah has refused to meet visiting former US president Jimmy Carter to discuss legislative elections set for the spring, Carter’s spokesman said on Wednesday.
“We have sought meetings with all the main parliamentary blocs and parties in the upcoming election and Hezbollah was one of those meetings we had requested,” Rick Jasculca, a spokesman for the Carter Center, told AFP. “Hezbollah declined the request,” he added without providing further detail.
Hezbollah officials contacted by AFP would not comment on Carter’s request for a meeting.
“Hezbollah does not meet with anyone from a US administration which supports Zionist terrorism,” said Mohamed Raad, head of Hezbollah’s parliamentary bloc.
