The United States, Israel and the European Union must end their policy of favoring Fatah over Hamas, or they will doom the Palestinian people to deepening conflict between the rival movements, former US President Jimmy Carter said Tuesday.
Carter, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate who was addressing a conference of Irish human rights officials, said the Bush administration's refusal to accept the 2006 election victory of Hamas was "criminal."
Carter said Hamas, besides winning a fair and democratic mandate that should have entitled it to lead the Palestinian government, had proven itself to be far more organized in its political and military showdowns with the Fatah movement of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

He’s right, respect their election, let them support Hamas and give zero American dollars to anyone.
Keep the buck - home.
Jimmy... I propose you go over there and sacrafice yourself for the glory of Hamas, by blowing up some Fatahs.
Any way to revoke his passport, like right now?
Ole Carter has been on a roll lately with all his stupid statements. He must be getting senile in his old age.
Ah, finally some clarity on what to do. If Jimmah says stop favoring Fatah over Hames, then the wisest, most prudent course of action, obviously, is to favor Fatah over Hamas.
“..favoring Fatah over Hamas..”
Favoring diamond back rattlers over cottonmouths?
This, from a pro-Pali, antisemite. What a disgusting human being.
This guy respected Ayatollah Khomeni too. He’s such a bumbling idiot.
The administration accepted the 2006 election and declined to deal with the terrorist victors. Didn't the The European Union freeze diplomatic relations with Austria when Joerg Haider of Austria's Freedom Party was about to take power? If that was sound foreign policy by the EU it is an even better way for the Bush administration to deal with the PA.
Carter has consistently favored any given radical muslim group over its rival, since 1976 (from the Ayatollah to Hamas).
Carter is not stupid; he has an agenda, and it’s evil.
He says that like it's a bad thing.
Let the scum kill each other off.
No he was always that stupid, the msm covered up for him. Now they can’t.
“Carter, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate”
As a half-wit, I’ll never win one. An American has to be a complete idiot to be nominated.
I agree with your view. I don’t know why we even talk to either party. We need to give the Palis some tough love. You want to behave like ruthless barbarians, then these are the consequences. Instead the world keeps enabling these guys.
MEGoody to Carter: Shut up and go plant some peanuts.
I honestly thought this was posted from The Onion. It is hard to believe this guy can be so obvious in his obsession with tyrants and radicals.
I don’t get it. Why the picture of Ellen DeGeneris?
