Carter: Hamas is Willing to Accept Israel as its Neighbor

Yahoo News ^ | April 21, 2008 | Staff

[Timeout]

Carter said [Hamas] promised it wouldn't undermine Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' efforts to reach a peace deal with Israel, as long as the Palestinian people approved it in a referendum...

Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman, later said Carter's comments "do not mean that Hamas is going to accept the result of the referendum."

Nothin' here but smoke. If you break it down, all Carter's saying is: "They won't oppose Abbas NEGOTIATING. And there can be a referendum on the results. But we don't agree to accept that referendum.". So what's changed? Nothing.

Also---and I'm no expert on ME peace---but isn't it a deal killer that they say they'll accept a state "based on the 1967 borders"? I don't believe Israel has any intent to go back to those borders, does it?

Hamas is willing to accept the COUNTRY of Israel as a neighbor, however, the JEWS living in it are another matter.

Can't this Clymer get attacked by a rabbit or something?

Over the weekend, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said he decided not to meet with Carter in Israel because he does not wish to be seen as participating in any negotiations with Hamas.
...nor any Israeli government official, politician looking to commit political suicide meeting with this self-aggrandizing,solipsistic buffoon.

If he weren't was once upon a long time ago a US President, he'd be banned from the country.

Gee, that’s nice, Jimmy. Now let’s hear it from Hamas themselves.

Anybody willing to accept J.C. Superstar as their neighbor?

[Izzy Dunne]

Now let’s hear it from Hamas themselves.

The same words, translated from the Arabic by a different person, came out:
Mr. Carter is an idiot most useful and a good friend to Hamas.

Can there be a bigger gullible fool in the world than Jimmah?

The greatest threat to our security is the Democrat Party, including the likes of Carter, Reid, Chappy Kennedy, Kerry, Frank, Boxer, Feinstein, Rockefeller, Dean, Clinton(s), Obama, Dodd, Schmuck Schumer, et cetera, ad nauseum. The Democrat Party is the chief ally of the terrorists. The Democrats give aid and comfort to the enemy, causing more of our soldiers to be killed or wounded defending the United States.

What a dufus!

If the press really gave a damn about doing their job right, they would bookmark Carter's idiotic statement and ask him about it right after hamas blows up another bus full of Jews.

ROFL! Excellent!

[Slapshot68]

Yup, there’s no way Hamas would lie about that.

/s off

I have to presume this holds as much water as Chavez winning the election in Venzuela, in a fair and impartial manner, according to “Peanut Brain.”

Carter is a legend in his own little commie, marxist and hate America/Israel mind.

I wish this old “Fool” would fade away forever.

You are correct, for they are the “Enemy Within.”

The spokesman probably lied to Jimmy, and since he's such a pro-pali, he belives is.

Anyone for Taquyia (sp?)?

I wonder how many rockets sere fired out of Hamas controlled areas while he was giving this little speech?

Israel needs to continue building the walls high and thick, and then clean house when they are done. Fire one rocket over the walls? 10 come back right at your power and water distribution center. The next one comes over, take out the ports and food distribution centers. Just work your way down the list until there is nothing left to fight for and all the while broadcast your intentions and reasons so the sheeple there can truly understand who is causing their misery.

There will be no peace until there is either a victory or there is nothing left to fight for, and since this is over territory that will never be the case.
