Jimmy Carter is going to work the Obama administration to try to get Hamas’ terror designation revoked.
Former President Jimmy Carter will urge the Obama administration to remove Hamas from the terrorist list, FOX News has learned.
Carter, a chief defender of the U.S.-designated terror group, said Tuesday he will meet with officials in the Obama administration in two days to discuss his latest trip to the Middle East.
This comes even as Carter is on yet another of his meddlesome visits to uphold the Palestinians and denigrate the Israelis.
Carter said one of his trip’s main goals was to persuade Hamas to accept the West’s three conditions for engaging the group: renouncing violence, recognizing Israel and accepting previous Israeli-Palestinian agreements – all of which Hamas has refused to do.
At a news conference in Tel Aviv after leaving Gaza, Carter said he was waiting for Hamas to determine what it could agree to.
“When they make their decision on the exact language, they’ll be back in touch with me, and I’ll relay that commitment to the government officials in my country,” Carter said.
The last time he visited Hamas, they swore to him that they would cease violence. He told us so. The next day, Hamas representatives said they’d never said that to Carter. Somehow, those quotes never seemed to get back to Carter, and he doggedly continued his march towards legitimizing the terrorist government of Gaza. And now, the EU is joining him in granting legitimacy to the organization that is sworn to the destruction of all Jews in Israel:
In what is perceived in Jerusalem as a mistaken effort to give Hamas room to maneuver, the EU’s 27 foreign ministers, in a statement issued Monday, did not call, as in the past, for Hamas to forswear terrorism, recognize Israel or accept previous PLO agreements with Israel.
Government sources in Jerusalem said France led the efforts to keep what has become known as the Quartet’s three conditions on Hamas from being included in the European Council’s conclusions on the Middle East peace process.
This is the first step towards allowing Hamas in on the negotiations with Israel—except, of course, Israeli negotiators will not sit down with Hamas, so that leaves the EU to the negotiations. Once more, the world attempts to negotiate for Israel, make demands to Israel, and force Israel to do what they declare—while utterly excusing any and all failures on the Palestinians to end incitement, lay down their weapons, and come to the table as true peace-seekers.
Obama’s Cairo speech has emboldened anti-Israel forces all over the world—including the ones who think they know what’s best for the Jewish state. Here’s a news flash, EU: You have never known what’s best for the Jews. Look to your own history for evidence of that, and STFU.
Sorry, I can only do links when you have a button but….
According to Ace (of Ace Of Spades HQ), the Israelis were the ones who uncovered the plot
and they told the Palestinians about it. It’s in a JPost article titled
“‘Hamas thwarts Carter assassination'”, the money quote is
Israeli security sources said they had learned of plans to target Carter and had passed
on the information to his security detail in “real time.”
Once again, Israel shows they’re much better than any of their detractors as St. Jimmeh is
one of the worst and most notable of Jew…. errr… Israeli Haters.
As to Europe, I wish I could remember who said this and give credit where it is very much due: Europe used to have a minority group that was generally law-abiding, hardworking, and creative. They killed it. Now they have the minority group they deserve.”
That’s a good one Alex.
Why would any Palis want to kill Carter? That would be an own goal if there ever was one. It’s just more evidence for the total nihilistic depravity and inability to think rationally of the Jihadists.
