President Carter’s trip to Hamas
The lighter Side of Hamas…
This is who President Carter wants to negotiate with - an organization that glorifies the destruction of the United States, the West, and is prepared to use children to do so.
I’m sorry - President Carter is a good man - but he is completely wrong in this effort. We should be opposing Hamas and Fatah and other extremist groups. We cannot selectively oppose “terrorist” groups - they all represent a threat to the United States and to a peaceful and stable world.

Thanks for posting a rather calm assessment of Former President Carter’s diplomatic effort.
I’ve read some that brand him a traitor: a charge that I don’t think fits, given what seems to be his motive in this venture.
Your link to the “Hamas Mickey Mouse Teaches Terror to Kids” YouTube post is a spot-on example of how fine an organization we’re dealing with.
And, the “Fox Panel Opines on Carter” YouTube post is terribly relevant, in its point on how Mr. Carter is, consciously or not, legitimatizing Hamas.
And, a point which seems to escape many ’sophisticated’ Americans, that panel brings up the fact that European nations - and the EU - have agreed to isolate Hamas.
I can understand my social betters disdaining an American policy - that’s simply de rigeur. But a European decision should be given at least a portion of the veneration generally given to la Belle France.
Thanks, again.
Look:
Carter isn’t a traitor. We’re talking a man who served on a nuclear submarine for cryin out loud!
He is deeply flawed in the lessons he learned about Egypt and Israel. I think he thinks in his mind that he got them to talk - so he made the peace. I think that lesson is flawed because - if Sadat hadn’t been interested in making peace - they’d still be fighting each other in the Sinai.
That said - you can’t talk with HAMAS. They’re vicious killers - placating them or talking to them and legitimating them undermines our foreign policy interests.
I think US backing of FATAH was a bad idea… too.
