Carter: Hamas ready for peace

Jimmy Carter is an idiot – that probably can’t be said enough. According to Associated Press, he announced that Hamas is ready to accept Israel’s existence. Isn’t that grand? That’s probably why they attacked Israel this weekend, within hours after their last talks with Carter.

Former President Jimmy Carter said Monday that Hamas is prepared to accept the right of Israel to “live as a neighbor next door in peace.”

Carter said the group promised it wouldn’t undermine Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ 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.

Hamas, a militant Islamic group that both the U.S. and Israel consider a terrorist organization, calls in its charter for Israel’s destruction. It has also traditionally opposed peace negotiations with the Jewish state.

Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman, later said Carter’s comments “do not mean that Hamas is going to accept the result of the referendum.”

So what was accomplished? They won’t undermine Abbas’ efforts to reach a deal as long as the people approve it – but they reserve the right to ignore the referendum. So, actually, Carter got nuthin’ – except he’s written a new lie that Democrats can use to tell their sheep. That being that Hamas responds to negotiations – we all know it’s not true, but it sounds nice and it’ll probably fit on a bumpersticker somehow and that’s all that matters to the tiny-brained, drooling dolts.
