JERUSALEM (CNN) -- In his first address to Israel's parliament Thursday, President Bush reiterated the United States' "unbreakable" alliance with the Jewish state and denounced calls to negotiate with "terrorists and radicals."
In a speech before the Knesset, Bush compared calls to talk with unnamed terrorist groups as a "foolish delusion" that was suggested before World War II.
"As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared, 'Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided,' " Bush said. "We have an obligation to call this what it is -- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history."
Former President Jimmy Carter recently wrapped up a trip to the Middle East, which included talks with leaders of Hamas -- an Islamic militant group that controls the Palestinian territory of Gaza.
Carter hoped to persuade Hamas to negotiate with Israel in an attempt to reach a broader Israeli-Palestinian peace deal.
Hamas has not been included in peace talks between Israeli and Palestinian leaders, under President Mahmoud Abbas, who control the West Bank. Israel and the United States refuse to negotiate with Hamas until it renounces terrorism and recognizes Israel's right to exist.

Jimmah Carter is the Chamberlain of our times......
Obama took umbrage over the statement.
Guess he feels guilty.
Bullseye ! Both witless Obammy and Jimmah the Wise.
“Bush compared calls to talk with unnamed terrorist groups as a “foolish delusion””
There he goes, picking on poor Jimmy Carter again. LOL!
But handing them hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars is somehow a fine idea....
L
The GOP better wise up and fire away because they've already screwed themselves enough and just maybe the American people will appreciate but at the same time fear the truth about the Rats.
Too bad he doesnt have the same attitude about Mexico...and it’s UNarmed terrorist invasion...
I give him Props on this though...judging by the sqeals...he nailed them...
Give him about 30 minutes.
I bet the fool does.
Just heard little snotnosed Tommy bitch about it on CBS radio.
Just when I had lost hope in Bush, too! If only he used his guts more often.
Obama is a follower of Black Liberation Theology. Black Liberationists believe that the US is an oppressive, hegemonic, imperialist nation, and as such, they do not support the use of the military by the US for any reason.
So, yes, Obama supports appeasement of all Middle Eastern countries, appeasement of all the enemies of the US. Obama believes of not only the redistribution of wealth, but the redistribution of power, and the redistribution of rights, as in judicial restoration, from the “oppressor” to the “oppressed”.
NOW...let’s hope MCCAIN backs the PRESIDENT and his comments!!!!
LOL! Man! The DimoPervs are such a bunch of squealing, crybaby, sissies!..And the voluminous response to Bush’s statements are blatent proof of the truth of his words!
Go’head DimoCowards!.. Appease the crocodile!
The stiletto went all the way to Dem ego bones. >Bo)
If the GOP would act as if they have nothing more to lose and just let loose with the truth, most Americans would understand and embrace the truth. Democrats hate America, hate the military and hate everything self reliant.
