Israel this week issued a formal rejection of a recent offer by former US President Jimmy Carter and former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan to mediate a ceasefire between the Jewish state and the Hamas rulers of the Gaza Strip.
Carter and Annan sent their proposal to Israel several weeks ago, and noted that South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu and former Irish President Mary Robinson would also be part of the mediation team.
Carter, Annan, Tutu and Robinson have for decades been among the foremost international critics of Israel's right to defend itself against Arab Muslim terrorism and have regularly lent credibility to groups like Hamas that openly reject the Jewish state's very right to exist.
Nevertheless, Israel remained diplomatic in its response to what many viewed as a duplicitous offer of help by explaining that "at this time it would not be right to introduce more players into a diplomatic process that is already in a complex stage."
Bravo Israel! how dare such pompous fools such as Carter and entourage even suggest they should serve as mediators.
Maybe Jimmah can help negotiate the nuclear mess with Iran. After all, he is a nuke-lare engineer.
Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton are the only two ex-Presidents in U.S. history with absolutely no class whatsoever.
Allahu fubar! Carter, Kofi “Famous Anus” Anan, and Desmond Three Three..Their gene pool could have used a bit of chlorine!
Awwwwww....poor Jimmy. Nobody wants him any more. He just don’t get it does he?
The role for Jimmah in this situation is to negotiate how long the plank should off the Ship of Hamas for the Israelis to walk. If there is any other role for him, it would be to stipulate what the Israelis should wear while walking said plank {ie: ball-n-chain, cement shoes, etc).
can we tell the bastard his help is not welcome?
And dumping on Kofi Annan is icing on the cake.
". . . and frankly, we don't need a self-aggrandizing gesture by a self-important, effete has-been whose demonstrated antipathy to Israel is well documented."
I am so proud of Israel. They see Jimmah's "offer" for the bogus crap that it is.
The grownups are working - now run along and play.
I look forward to the day when liberals across our country take up the good shout, “RIP, J Carter”.
I do pray that he lasts for a few more months, so that President Bush is not forced to say something kind about of that damnable traitor.
Remember when the Russians were attempting to arm Cuba with Nuclear Weapons? We prevented it and any other attempts to provide Cuba with any Nuclear Weapons. Now imagine if we hadn’t? And Imagine if we didn’t have any Nuclear Weapons.
Can we say Hippocrates?
Why would two Jew haters want to help Israel?
“Israel tells Jimmy Carter: Your ‘help’ is not welcome “
Doesn’t their military need target holders on their gun ranges?
How about land mine testers?
HA! HA!.....”Jimmah need not apply!”
IOW, Chickens turn down the services of the Fox
Isn’t that what everyone says to Jimmy Carter?
