I almost fell off my seat when I read this one: “Former President Carter angered Israel's government Tuesday by embracing a Hamas politician during a visit to the West Bank, ignoring Israeli and U.S. designation of the Islamic militants as a terror group. Israel accused Carter, the broker of the first Arab-Israeli peace accord, of ‘dignifying’ extremists. But Carter vowed to meet Hamas' supreme leader this week in Syria.” (AP)
What on God’s green Earth is Carter thinking? This lone man (and one of the worst Presidents this country has ever seen) is over in the Middle East literally embracing our enemies and playing unofficial diplomat in direct opposition to American and Israeli policy. By doing so, he is in fact undermining his own country and one of her closest allies: Israel.
If you’re not convinced of the evilness of Hamas and therefore Carter’s idiocy, their charter reads in part, “There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad.” (http://www.mideastweb.org/hamas.htm) This then, is an organization 100% dedicated to the destruction of Israel through Jihad- an organization whose leaders have almost deified Hitler in the past and denied the Hollocaust.
Great, Carter, go meet with the intellectual and moral inheritors of Naziism. I’m sure your smile will do the trick.
