According to <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/ap\/20080421\/ap_on_re_mi_ea\/carter_israel\" target=\"_blank\">Associated Press<\/a>, he announced that Hamas is ready to accept Israel&#8217;s existence. Isn&#8217;t that grand? That&#8217;s probably why <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/nm\/20080419\/wl_nm\/palestinians_israel_dc_4\" target=\"_blank\">they attacked Israel this weekend<\/a>, within hours after their last talks with Carter.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> Former President Jimmy Carter said Monday that Hamas is prepared to accept the right of Israel to &#8220;live as a neighbor next door in peace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Carter said the group promised it wouldn&#8217;t undermine Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas&#8217; efforts to reach a peace deal with Israel, as long as the Palestinian people approved it in a referendum. In such a scenario, he said Hamas would not oppose a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas, a militant Islamic group that both the U.S. and Israel consider a terrorist organization, calls in its charter for Israel&#8217;s destruction. It has also traditionally opposed peace negotiations with the Jewish state.<\/p>\n<p>Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman, later said Carter&#8217;s comments &#8220;do not mean that Hamas is going to accept the result of the referendum.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So what was accomplished? They won&#8217;t undermine Abbas&#8217; efforts to reach a deal as long as the people approve it &#8211; but they reserve the right to ignore the referendum. So, actually, Carter got nuthin&#8217; &#8211; except he&#8217;s written a new lie that Democrats can use to tell their sheep. That being that Hamas responds to negotiations &#8211; we all know it&#8217;s not true, but it sounds nice and it&#8217;ll probably fit on a bumpersticker somehow and that&#8217;s all that matters to the tiny-brained, drooling dolts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jimmy Carter is an idiot &#8211; that probably can&#8217;t be said enough.
