'Jimmah' Carter: Worst US President ever - and a whimpering Dhimmi to boot

Former US president Jimmy Carter yesterday met Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in the Gaza Strip, where he called for a lifting of Israel’s blockade, saying Palestinians are being treated “like animals.”

Following the talks, Carter called for an end of “all violence” against both Israelis and Palestinians.

“This is holy land for us all and my hope is that we can have peace. All of us are children of Abraham,” he said at a joint news conference with Haniyeh, prime minister of the Hamas government in the Palestinian enclave.Haniyeh in turn said Hamas supported the creation of a Palestinian state in the territories Israel has occupied since the 1967 Six-Day war.

While Hamas has made similar statements in the past, it has more often insisted that the future state should encompass not only the West Bank and the Gaza Strip but also all of Israel.

“If there is a real plan to resolve the Palestinian question on the basis of the creation of a Palestinian state within the borders of 4 June 1967 and with full sovereignty, we are in favour of it,” Haniyeh said.

He also praised US President Barack Obama’s 4 June speech in Cairo to the Muslim world.

“We saw a new tone, a new language and a new spirit in the official US rhetoric,” he said.

Earlier Carter denounced the Israeli blockade and the destruction wrought by its 22-day military offensive against Gaza in December and January.

“My primary feeling today is one of grief and despair and an element of anger when I see the destruction perpetrated against innocent people,” Carter said as he toured the impoverished territory.

“Tragically, the international community too often ignores the cries for help and the citizens of Palestine are treated more like animals than like human beings,” he said.

“The starving of 1.5 million human beings of the necessities of life, never before in history has a large community like this been savaged by bombs and missiles and then denied the means to repair itself,” Carter said at a UN school graduation ceremony in Gaza City.

The US and Europe “must try to do all that is necessary to convince Israel and Egypt to allow basic goods into Gaza,” he said.

“At same time, there must be no more rockets” from Gaza into Israel, said Carter, who brokered the historic 1979 peace treaty between Israel and Egypt.

“I have to hold back tears when I see the deliberate destruction that has been wracked against your people,” he said at a destroyed American school, saying it was “deliberately destroyed by bombs from F16s made in my country.”

Israel’s offensive killed more than 1,400 Palestinians and left large swathes of the coastal strip in ruins.

“I feel partially responsible for this as must all Americans and Israelis,” Carter said.

Carter was responsible for allowing the Shah of Iran to fall in 1979, which led to the ushering in of the terror-sponsoring Mullah-cratic dictatorship we know today. It is also arguable that it was this capitulation, followed by his myriad other missteps and blunders, that set in motion the chain of events that led to 9/11.

The Shah was forced into exile and on the run from Morocco to Egypt, the Bahamas, Mexico and finally Panama. In July 1979, Vice President Walter Mondale and National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski told Carter they had changed their minds about offering him permanent asylum. Carter’s response was: “f*** the Shah. I’m not going to welcome him here when he has other places to go where he’ll be safe.”

Today he spends his retirement (funded by Our Friends The Saudis) attacking Israel constantly and calling for economic sanctions against the Jewish State (he has a long and undistinguished record as a Jew hater). He also recently declared his undying love for the ‘Palestinians’.

When Democrat Eugene McCarthy was asked why he voted for Republican Ronald Reagan in 1980, he explained that Carter had:

“quite simply abdicated the whole responsibility of the presidency while in office. He left the nation at the mercy of its enemies at home and abroad. He was quite simply the worst president we ever had.”

PS: it is estimated that the ‘Palestinians’ will have received US$7.7 billion in international donor aid between the end of 2008 and 2010 alone (this does not include donations from Arab countries because pledged donations from them do not alwys materialise, making them difficult to quantify accurately).

No-one in ‘Palestine’ is starving, nor will they be – unless Hamas stop spending our billions on weapons and the construction of tunnels in which to smuggle them.
