Israeli leaders snub Jimmy Carter

JERUSALEM (AP) â?? Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter is currently an unpopular figure in Israel, though he brokered its first peace treaty with an Arab nation, Egypt, in 1979.
Carter met Sunday with Israel's ceremonial president, Shimon Peres, at the beginning of a week-long Mideast tour, but Israel's political leadership is avoiding him. Israel's perception is that in the 30 years since he got Israel and Egypt together, Carter has turned hostile toward Israel, while favoring the Palestinians.

Israeli and U.S. officials are particularly peeved that he has also chosen to meet in Syria with the leader of the militant Hamas movement, blacklisted by Washington and Jerusalem as a terrorist organization.

In an interview published Monday in Israel's Haaretz daily, Carter responded to criticism by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, saying that the State Department had been informed of the schedule for his week-long Mideast tour and had not tried to dissuade him from seeing exiled Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal in Damascus, Syria.

Hamas is sworn to Israel's destruction and has carried out dozens of suicide bombings that have killed more than 250 Israelis. Israel has no contacts with the Islamic militant group, whose violent takeover of the Gaza Strip in June has complicated newly revived efforts by Israel and the Palestinians to strike a final peace deal.

Way to go Jimmy! I guess the old saying of wisdom and age going hand in hand doesn't apply here; he's as big of an idiot as he was when he was president. Piss on our allie...lets meet with some group the world considers as terrorists. This should help the DNC's efforts.:thumbsup:

Have a good one!:s4:

And why do we all think they're terrorists?:rasta:

Hamas like to lob rockets at Isreal thats why Hamas is a terrorist organization.Now why does Hamas like to lob rockets at Isreal mmmmm could it be that Isreal is occupying land that belongs to the Palastenians.Could it be that Isreal treats the palastenians in the occupied lands like animals with no rights to there land or resources...

Jimmy Fuckin' Carter, the man never met a dictator or terrorist he didn't like.

One of the most socialist, if not the most socialist leader the United States has ever seen. I see oh so many people bitching about gas prices we have now. Any one else remember when Jimmy Carter was in office? NO ONE HAD GAS BECAUSE HE DEMANDED THAT IT COST A CERTAIN SET PRICE! Sounds just like how Venezuala's leader demanded that beef only only cost a certain price, let's say for shits and giggles it's 35 cents a pound. The farmers can ony make beef for 2 dollars, now theres a beef shortage. OPEC didn't help the situation but Jimmy Carter really tanked the economy.

Prices may be high now but at least your not at home waiting to be called for the fucking gas lottery.

Anywho, this whole post is just me trying to show how I feel about good ol' Jimmy.

And that's my two cents.

Good for him for being diplomatic, if that is exactly what this is...

Gosh, I don't know. Maybe because they teach their children to hate, strap on a suicide vest, maybe more huh?

Here's something I know the left wing will like to watch:

I am supposed to believe the Palestinians are terrorists because they're fighting for the same land that the Israelites are fighting for. I think they're both fucked in the head. To cause this much death and hate over a piece of ground is insane. But why are we choosing sides in this? Do you really think Israel is innocent in this mess?

Neither side here is completely innocent but we have to look further than that. How much love is there between us and them in terms of being an allie? What will happen if we were to say fuck it and let Israel fall to Hamas, Hezbullah, Syria, and Iran? When Israel launches over 200 nukes throughout the region in a last ditch effort what are the consequences that the world will have to face because of it?

As far as Israels right to exist how far back in history do we go to make things right? Hell, before there was an Israel there was the Ottoman Empire. I'm SURE the good people of Iraq would love to hear that they have the entire region once again. Likewise, does Canada and the U.S. return the lands to the Indians and Mexico? Does Germany regain it's lands it lost since WW1?

Israel had complete control of the Gaza Strip at one time and gave the land to the Palestinians. Since then they've had rockets, car bombs, and suicide vests to deal with. Isn't that a hell of a thank you? How much land has the other Palestinian neighbors given to help the cause?

Have a good one!:s4:

No Israel isn't innocent in the mess but lets look at how they go about doing things. One side blows up busses full of people, has car bombs outside of wedding parties and cafes whilest kidnapping and taking people hostage. The other side builds walls and sets up checkpoints and arrests probably more people than they should. But hey they aren't suicide bombing innocent people!

As the Israeli's aren't murderous barbarians, and the Palestinians would never kill such a close ally...I don't see the need for any security for that traitor. Would sure be funny, if due to his actions he ends-up on the no-fly list.

But if the Israeli's were to assassinate him, it would be understandable. Pretty balsy, putting your support behind a presidential candidate whose church despises jews, the day before embarking on a mideast trip to give regards to a Palestinian terror leader.

So how do democrats stop a bastardized theocratic regime from sponsoring ongoing terrorist attacks against innocent civilians...?
Apparently you send a bastardized former president.

First, you might want to know the back-story:
Brief facts about the origin of the Palestinian Refugees
Strange how the radical muslim regimes in the neighborhood never mention this...

Then some of the facts:
"Sponsoring Terrorism: Syria and Hamas" (October 2002)
(background on Hamas, and the support given by Syria)

List of Hamas suicide attacks
(all civilian targets)


I love the way some reporter on Fox News put it...Carter's actions stem from a case of "malicious boredom".

Guess it's either that, or Billary put him up to it. :jointsmile:

any reporter that would stick a microphone in front of such an obviously Alzheimer'ed old fool like Carter, should lose his job ... elder dementia is not 'news' ... but, then, Carter did stupid shit when he was a lot younger, too :D ... our most piss-poor President, and I hate myself for ever voting for him :jointsmile:
