Say, Jimmy Carter, would you mind responding to these words by Mahmoud al-Zahar, whom you said only last week wants peace of a sorts with Israel?
“The Palestinians and the Arabs have crushed the Jews’ assumption of supremacy… The Zionist legend of invincibility has been destroyed.
“Now more than ever I tell you – will never recognize Israel… We will form the Palestinian state on all of Palestine’s territories and the sun of liberty will burn the Zionists. To them I say – you will lose. You will leave and we will keep hounding you. The blood of our slain sons will haunt you forever,” he said.
Carter wrote in op-eds around the world only last week:
Hamas has agreed to accept any negotiated peace settlement between the president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, and Israel’s prime minister, Ehud Olmert, provided it is approved in a referendum of the Palestinian people.
Compare and contrast these words, Mr. Carter. Tell me how Hamas wants peace. And oh yeah—there’s also the matter of flooding Israel with millions of third- and fourth-generation Palestinian “refugees”:
Senior Hamas member Mahmoud al-Zahar spoke Wednesday at a Gaza Strip event marking the 60th anniversary of the Nakba – the anniversary of the 1948 events which led to the induction of the State of Israel – and promised his listeners that “the right of return in closer than ever.”
Yep. Those are the words of a group that is willing to accept a peace with Israel. Uh-huh. Sure.
I’m anxiously awaiting the Carter spin on this one.
Oh, Meryl, I am constantly bemused by your lack of cultural sensitivity. Al-Zahar whispers soft words into Carter’s willing ears…that’s what he really means. The rest, the blood-curdlingly savage words with which he addresses his followers–just colorful Arab rhetoric.
Spin Schmin. *shrug* I’m anxiously awaiting to collect pool points on Carter.
Jimmy Carter isn’t the only moonbat who thinks this way.
‘the sun of liberty will burn the Zionists’
Could he be meaning the iranian atomic bomb?
In that case he’s an idiot.
Israel is’t big enough for the pals not to suffer almost the same fate as the Israelies would in such a case.
Somewhere there should be pals smarter than that but unfortunatly they are not the ones holding the guns over there.
I’m not sure there are any Palis smarter than that. When Saddam was shooting missiles at Israel in 1991, with the potential for chamical weapons in the warheads, the Palis were out cheering. This was despite the fact that they were downwind of any Israeli targets Saddam might be lobbing missiles armed with nerve gas at.
There weren’t any smarter Palis 17 years ago and since then Arafat’s rule just made them dumber and more barbaric.
