Breitbart.com offered this addendum:
Far from encouraging Hamas’ move into parliamentary politics, Carter said the U.S. and Israel, with European Union acquiescence, sought to subvert the outcome by shunning Hamas and helping Abbas to keep the reins of political and military power.
“That action was criminal,” he said in a news conference after his speech.
For someone who lamented Reagan’s “sabre rattling” to defend Hamas is nothing short of hypocritical and quite astonishing. Hamas’ own charter includes the destruction of Israel as its goal, and yet this cretin who was once our “leader” recognizes them as a legitimate player in diplomacy? How can anyone take him seriously?
There is much debate as to what is seditious and what is protected speech, but I insist that Mr. Peanut should be facing a firing squad. Not convince by his words alone? Then let’s take a look at one his greatest accomplishments, also from the Jerusalem Post:
Carter pressured the shah to make what he termed human rights concessions by releasing political prisoners and relaxing press censorship. Khomeini could never have succeeded without Carter. The Islamic Revolution would have been stillborn. I guess Oslo thought this was worth of a prize.
Thanks Jimmy. Thanks a lot.
