Jimmy Carter: Hamas is a legitimate political actor (Calls for investigation of Israel)
The Jerusalem Post ^ | 08/06/2014 | JPost.com Staff

Posted on 08/06/2014 2:32:11 AM PDT by Fenhalls555

Former US President Jimmy Carter, in an analysis he wrote for Foreign Policy (FP), stated that "Hamas cannot be wished away, nor will it cooperate in its own demise. Only by recognizing its legitimacy as a political actor - one that represents a substantial portion of the Palestinian people - can the West begin to provide the right incentives for Hamas to lay down its weapons."

In the article, Carter praised Hamas for making a "major concession" in April when it entered into a reconciliation agreement with the Palestinian Authority's President Mahmoud Abbas. In the reconciliation agreement, Hamas gave up all of the top government positions to technocratic Fatah appointees pending elections.

Carter also credits Hamas with adopting de facto the unity government's pledge to nonviolence, recognition of Israel and adherence to past agreements.

So how do we check to see if Carter is registered agent of Saudi Arabia?

If he hasn’t he should to to jail.

He has been in their employ for decades.

I call for an investigation of Jimmah. I believe an errant 10 penny nail from a “habitat” nail gun may have compromised his frontal lobe.

What is it about ex-dim presidents that they stick their noses into current events?(Actually the MSM goes looking for them)
This ditz has only been boosted up from the bottom rung of effective Presidents by the present occupant of the White House.

Carter, get down on your hands and knees ..and dig up some peanuts.
Keep your ignorant comments to yourself.

These days journalistic integrity demands that we preface every story about Democrat leaders and other liberals regarding philosophy or analysis with a "Semi-serious" or "Satire" modifier.

Carter always acted like a senile old buzzard. Now he looks like one. He has demonstrated his hatred of Jews so many times that this story would seem true even if entirely made up.

Gee — glad they did that. So Jimmy, since Hamas adopted the nonviolence pledge, just who’s been firing thousands of rockets into Israel?

Jimmy Carter is an absolute idiot of the first order.

If the American people vote like idiots like they did in two of the last presidential elections then I would say Elizabeth Warren.
