Jimmy Carter to meet with Hamas (!)

Ex-Presidents For Genocide!

NEW YORK CITY — Former President Jimmy Carter is reportedly preparing an unprecedented meeting with the leader of Hamas, an organization that the U.S. government considers one of the leading terrorist threats in the world.

The Arabic-language newspaper Al-Hayat reported Tuesday that Carter was planning a trip to Syria for mid-April, during which he would meet with Khaled Meshal, the exiled head of the Palestinian terror group Hamas, on April 18.

If there were ever any doubt as to where Carter stands on terrorism vs. Israel–and for that matter, the West in general, including us–this ought to settle it. Hamas? I shouldn’t be surprised, but HAMAS? A former President of the United States is going to legitmize this?

“Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.”

“The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up. ”

“There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors.”

“After Palestine, the Zionists aspire to expand from the Nile to the Euphrates. When they will have digested the region they overtook, they will aspire to further expansion, and so on. Their plan is embodied in the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion”, and their present conduct is the best proof of what we are saying.”

THAT is Hamas. What next, Hizb’allah? I’m sure he’d have no problem meeting and chumming around with the mullahs in Iran; after all, at least they are a recognized government by the civilized world (unfortunately).

How about Osama Bin Laden next? Oh wait…then he might be asked to tell where Bin Laden is, and that might be too much to ask of Jimmy Carter.

No wonder Carter hearts Obama.

UPDATE: James Taranto nails it:

This is par for the course for Carter, who has spent decades trying to undermine American foreign policy and won a Nobel Peace Prize for it. It reminds us of one reason we’re uneasy about the idea of electing Barack Obama, who has made much of his desire to meet with hostile foreign rulers and has given us no reason to think he will take a hard line with them, à la Reagan with Gorbachev.

America elected Jimmy Carter 32 years ago and is still paying the price. Suppose history repeats: Obama wins and has a failed one-term presidency. Will he be jetting around the world meeting with terrorists and despots and denouncing America in 2040? Maybe not, but the thought gives us a shudder.
