RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) - Former President Jimmy Carter embraced a leading Hamas figure Tuesday, according to participants in a meeting that infuriated Israeli officials already upset by Carter's freelance Mideast peace mission.
Carter also laid a wreath at the grave of Yasser Arafat, whom the Bush administration and many Israelis blame for the breakdown of peace talks seven years ago and the violence that followed.
At a reception in the West Bank town of Ramallah organized by Carter's office, the former president hugged Nasser Shaer, a senior Hamas politician, meeting participants said. Embraces between men are a common custom in Arab culture.
"He gave me a hug. We hugged each other, and it was a warm reception," Shaer told The Associated Press. "Carter asked what he can do to achieve peace between the Palestinians and Israel ... and I told him the possibility for peace is high."............."

Diabolical.
What a useless piece of debris he is.
What he means is that the possibility is high if Carter can just get him to make the Israelis pay the high price...their destruction. Hamas has consistantly indicated that peace will only come when the Israeli state and people are destroyed and pushed into the sea.
Carter is a traitorus bastard...no different really now than he was as President. We are still living with the abject negative results and impacts of his years in the White House.
Deny his re-entry to the US. He is now an associate of known terrorists.
Maybe Jimmah can provide a complimentary Monica for his Hammas significant other.
The democratic party?
I would love to see a picture of Jimma and Hamas hanging out.
Enforce the Logan Act! Jail Jimmy!
“Carter’s office refused to comment, saying he does not discuss closed meetings.”
What a high profile joke this POS is. Jimmah Carter embraces terrorists, publicly defies the White House and our strongest ally in doing so, but “does not discuss closed meetings.”
We have a winner. Democrat Party is the correct answer to what is a terrorist. Johnny, tell him what he has won.
I should have known better!
This is good...there are alot of old jewishdems who will see this and realize this is the real face of today’s modern Dem. party. Why this POS was allowed to go is still beyond me. I’ve contended that he’s just picking up the check in person this month, but it’s good this is happening so the world can see that liberals are anti-Israel and pro-terrorism...Keep them photo-ops going, Jimmy Peanutman.
“Sir you shall either die of the pox or be hanged for treason.”
“That depends, sir, on whether I embrace your principles or your mistress.”
Please, folks, don’t post pictures of this, I’m eating.
“On the way back to the US, Carter will be placing wreaths at the Lenin, Hitler and Stalin memorials.” /sarcasm
” told him the possibility for peace is high.”
Of course,”peace” in Islam means conquest.
He has sold his soul.
Hey Jimmah: A$$HOLE!!
Even that he screwed up. He could have held out for a second term, but he took the devil's first offer. Pathetic.
Jihad Carter.
What an embarrasment, it takes a lot of effort to make Bill clinton look statesmanlike but Jimmy pulls it off.
Jimmah Cahtah - FATHER OF MODERN DAY TERRORISM
ok so the liberals are now LITERALLY hugging terrorists..
“His arteries are hard......”
....as hard as his head!
Jimmy Carter “IS A LEADING HAMAS OFFICIAL”.
Jimmy’s deplorable attempt at becoming relevant in some way is further proof of his impotence as a leader. This is quite a statement when one considers the fact that he was a sitting president once. If you can’t leave a positive relevancy , marker, as a sitting president you are by DEFAULT , as unintelligent and useless as they come.
Look out Jimmah!....The rabbits are coming!
“and I told him the possibility for peace is high...”
Yup, just let them kill all the Jews and/or push Israel into the sea, and there will be peace. For a week or two, that is, until they decide who is next on their march to a new caliphate...
I am generally a very big fan of William Tecumseh Sherman, but I think his failure to thoroughly sack, burn, pillage and salt the fields of a certain plantation outside of Plains will always mar his legacy.
Now he is meeting with a baby killer organization. Why? Does he approve of the way they treat people? Apparently he finds them preferable to the Shah.
Can you say idiot double standard.
I am sorry, but Jimmy Carter is a despicable individual.
Reading this makes me wonder what ever happened to Ariel Sharon?
Jimmah, the Liberal Traitor, will be praising Adolf Hitler next.
When does start wearing jack boots and the Iron Cross?
Anyone who shows him any respect from this day forward is as guilty as he is!
What day......... Carter embraces Hamas and Bush greets the Pope. Kinda telling, ain’t it?
“and I told him the possibility for peace is high.”
what carter meant to say was the “possibility for pieces” of rockets hitting israelies were high. Or was it that trajectories were “high?” hmmm. Or maybe it was the possiblity that he would be institutionalized was high...or maybe....
Carter is like a case of herpes, he just won’t go away, keeps on coming back, over and over and over again.
We need political Valtrex for that pus filled blister.
And this is who we voted for to embrace a Conservative Democrat who was more honest than the Nixon Administration. Yes, he is honest, honest in his embrace of terrorists. Hey, Jimmy I wonder if those peanuts are halal. Maybe you can invite Hamas to have a Judenfrei Barbecue. Jeffrey Christie, Jimmy is a nut. I wonder what Billy thought about his brother’s goofiness, including his appeasement to terrorists.
Go on Jimmy, while you are at it call for a Southern Nationalist talk so that we can secede from the Union again. Oh, Jimmy you don’t want to? It is because it is not PC for a Liberal to talk about. I also wonder what plane Jimmy took to get there. Considering that his inaugural walk was low-key, informal and supposed to be the symbolic metaphor of his whole candiduncy, maybe you should’ve swam to meet Hamas.
He should have done something respectable after leaving office...you know, like farming peanuts or something.
Jimmah misses his butt buddy Arafat.
Uh, hello! He’s a douchebag.
Well, just an educated guess, by I’m thinking it’s not ‘or what’.
If Carter is going to continue to conduct himself in this manner, then it would be better for the nation (in fact the world) IMO, if he would pass on to his future reward.
I very seldom say this about anyone. When the abysmal actions of a person get to this level, I have to admit that it would be best for the nation (in fact the world) if they were not around to continue to do things like he as proven himself compelled to do.
This is a comment addressing natural causes, and nobody should read something more into it than that. I would never advocate physical harm be perpetrated on Carter by anyone.
I have no doubt that Carter sees himself as a Christian peacemaker. I see him as an addled fool. It’s a shame a past president could stoop to this level, granting stature to terrorists, and shaming not only himself, but his nation and allies in the process.
Personally, I think you think way to highly of this idiot!
Way to go Jimmah. Hug a terrorist and make a fool out of yourself. Best you get back to the peanut farm and stay there permanently, and stay away from dude-ranch diplomacy.
