Jimmy Strikes Again
MIAMI (AFP) - Former US President Jimmy Carter called Yasser Arafat (news - web sites) "a powerful human symbol and forceful advocate" who united Palestinians in their pursuit of a homeland.
"Yasser Arafat's death marks the end of an era and will no doubt be painfully felt by Palestinians throughout the Middle East and elsewhere in the world," Carter said.
"He was the father of the modern Palestinian nationalist movement. A powerful human symbol and forceful advocate, Palestinians united behind him in their pursuit of a homeland," he said in a statement distributed by his Atlanta, Georgia-based Carter Center.
He said that while Arafat provided "indispensable leadership to a revolutionary movement" and played a key role in forging a peace agreement with Israel in 1993, he was excluded from negotiations in recent years.
"My hope is that an emerging Palestinian leadership can benefit from Arafat's experiences, be welcomed to the peace process by (Israeli) Prime Minister (Ariel) Sharon and (US) President (George W.) Bush, and be successful in helping to forge a Palestinian state living in harmony with their Israeli neighbors," Carter said.
Both Carter and Arafat are Nobel peace prize laureates.
Arafat, who died at a Paris hospital early Thursday, was to be buried at his West Bank headquarters after a military funeral ceremony in Cairo Friday.
Carter "will not be attending the funeral," said Jon Moor, a Carter Center spokesman.
Boy, was I ever mistaken.
MIAMI (AFP) - Former US President Jimmy Carter called (Adolf Hitler) "a powerful human symbol and forceful advocate" who united (Germans) in their pursuit of a homeland.
Gore needs to be on that list...and McAwful....and Jim McDermott....and Wexler....
That is because Jimmy Carter is not playing with a full deck.
Maybe he meant to say "powerful human slimeball".
BREAKING: FREEPER CALLS CARTER A PUNGENT WALKING TURD
It says Jimmy Carter right there in the headline. What more do you want?
Jimmy Carter is a disgrace and has his moral compass off balance...anyone who would sit next to Michael Moore at the Demo Convention....is off their rocker.......
Haj Amin al-Husseini eventually died in exile in 1974. He never returned to Jerusalem after his 1937 departure. His place as leader of the radical, nationalist Palestinian Arabs was taken by his nephew Mohammed Abdel-Raouf Arafat As Qudwa al-Hussaeini, better known as Yasser Arafat. In August 2002, Arafat gave an interview in which he referred to "our hero al-Husseini" as a symbol of Palestinian Arab resistance.
Carter's hero was Arafat whose hero (and uncle) was the mufti whose hero was Hitler.
Carter and Arafat were awarded the peace prize of the inventor of the dynamite adorning the Palikiddihajeen.
The more appropriate award would have been dynamite suppositories.
That's beautiful. Karter never met a scumbag terrorist tinhorn dictator that he didn't like.
Carter is an utter disgrace and shouldn't be allowed to go to the funeral.
Carter "will not be attending the funeral," said Jon Moor, a Carter Center spokesman.
"Take a few puffs of zis, zen we go get some boys, eh?"
GOOD!
A symbol of EVIL!!!
