When asked by the media for his thoughts on the Hamas triumph in the Palestinian parliamentary elections, former President Jimmy Carter replied that while they have a terrorist past, at least they're not corrupt.
One of the complaints by many in the Middle East was the corruption within the Palestinian Authority and Yasser Arafat's Fatah Party.
Arafat himself squirreled away millions of dollars from aid packages that were intended to help the Palestinian people.
However, Carter's comment appears to dismiss the years of death and destruction perpetrated by Hamas on the Jewish State.
One of the first statements made by the leaders of Hamas rebuffed demands to disarm and change its charter. Part of Hamas' charter is the total destruction of Israel and the establishment of an Islamic nation.
Israelis are in shock over this development and they wonder how they will be able to negotiate with these newly empowered Islamic Jihadists in their midst.
It's one thing to fight terrorists living in the shadows, but quite another thing to deal with them when the are legally elected officials in a sovereign nation that borders the Israeli State.
Tehran sent its congratulations to “the Palestinians, the Hamas movement, all Palestinians combatants, and the great Islamic [jihad].”

He appointed Paul Volker to the Fed. I guess even a blind hog finds an acorn ever' once in a while.
No Jimmah, not corrupt. They just want to kill us. IDIOT!!!
Is he that brain dead?
This guy is delusional.
Its time to turn the middle east into stone.
Lol...no kidding.
I hereby add Mr. Peanut to my "Pustule on the Butt of Humanity" list.
"Well, at least they aren't corrupt! They don't need to be corrupt, since they own everything including their citizens."
Except guess what -- they probably ARE corrupt. Nobody can tell you whether or not Hamas is corrupt because 1)they make their reputation blowing up people and things, so no one has looked to see if they are corrupt, and 2) they have never had access to the real money before.
One has to be truly gullible to believe that Hamas, if given the reins of power, is going to be any less corrupt than any other middle eastern gangsterocracy. Jimmy Carter is, of course, that gullible.
Jimmy Carter is corrupt.
Jimmy Carter is corrupt.
He hasn't been an honest broker in a very long time.
He is nuts.

Worst President Ever!
And brother Billy Carter at least was an honest alcoholic.
Did you ever notice him building an "Habitat Homes for Humanity" in the West Bank or Gaza???
Probably not.
Can the man GET any more irrelevant?
Carter has a peanut size brain.
Does he think 'terrorism' and wanting to 'wipe Israel off the map' pale compared to 'corruption' (whatever than means)?
Bump!
He still out there waiting Jimmy.
