The world must stop standing idle while the people of Gaza are treated with such cruelty
The world is witnessing a terrible human rights crime in Gaza, where a million and a half human beings are being imprisoned with almost no access to the outside world. An entire population is being brutally punished.
This gross mistreatment of the Palestinians in Gaza was escalated dramatically by Israel, with United States backing, after political candidates representing Hamas won a majority of seats in the Palestinian Authority parliament in 2006. The election was unanimously judged to be honest and fair by all international observers.
Israel and the US refused to accept the right of Palestinians to form a unity government with Hamas and Fatah and now, after internal strife, Hamas alone controls Gaza. Forty-one of the 43 victorious Hamas candidates who lived in the West Bank have been imprisoned by Israel, plus an additional 10 who assumed positions in the short-lived coalition cabinet.

“And Egypt was shutting them out of Egypt. Do they not have sea access? And communications? And if they don’t have communications is that because they spend their money on weapons to attack Israel instead of communication systems?”
Little facts don’t bother Jimmy.
I think this Hamas love-affair is a psych problem of his own. When his last book came out he denied, he couldn’t believe, Hamas felt the way it does about Israel. So he went there to visit Hamas and create the illusion, for himself and his narrative, that it was still the Jews’ fault.
Like all Palestinian narratives, story-lines, imperfection on their part is not permissible one iota.
Hitler said much the same thing and blamed the Jews for starting WW-II and committing atrocities against their own people.
Gaza was a garden when Palestinians received it from Israel but they have turned it to weeds. Remember bombs are launched from Gaza into Israel. The poison of Gaza is of their own making and they reap the sludge of their own existence.

Simple solution. Pressure Egypt to open the border. Pressure our Arab allies to actually provide the $6 billion or so in aid they "pledged" a couple years ago. No, instead it's Israel's responsibility to open the borders and support the terrorists.
It is an obsession, when he sees a problem a light flashes, and he wonders how the Jews are involved.

re: “a human rights crime”
Jimmy Carter IS a human rights crime. He is a disgrace to civilization, a man who uses all of his influence and life opportunities to promote the cause of TERRORISTS, dictators, and totalitarians. Wish we could send him to live out his days in exile, how about in Burma/Myanmar, to commune with the kind of commie thugs that he loves to defend.

Burma is too nice.
Send him to North Korea, so it’s citizens can butcher the pig up for some fresh meat.

I guess this means that the majority of Palestinians in Gaza voted for terrorist leadership and support terror. This says it all. No further discussion necessary. They deserve the government they elected and they will experience the consequences of their vote as democracies throughout the world do.
So you finally found the ‘killer rabbit’ that scared the hell out of Jimmuh Carter! It’s too bad that the amphibious rabbit couldn’t catch up with him.:)
Right on, Jeff!
Dhimmi Jimmuh can kindly kiss my Christian Zionist tailpipe.
