Carter to Hug Hamas
It comes as no surprise that Former President Jimmy Carter is planning to travel to Syria to meet with senior Hamas leader Khalid Mash'al, probably on April 18.
Carter, best friend to dictators everywhere, will achieve two important benchmarks with this meeting.
1. He will bestow legitimacy on a Jew-hating and genocidal organization.
2. This visit will increase petro donations to the Carter library.
It should be kept in mind that the Hamas covenant calls for the annihilation of the state of Israel. Major parts of the charter are based on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. It also calls for a caliphite to rule the world.
I suppose Carter expects to moderate Mash'al's “militant” views. Or maybe they'll just sit around discussing the vast Jewish lobby that controls American foreign policy.
Khalid Mash'al has been on Israel's hit list for many years. He's the definition of a terrorist, a war criminal. Former President Jimmy Carter not only enables Jew-haters and terrorists, he props ups tyrannies that would murder every Jew on the face of the earth.
It's interesting to note the similarities between Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter. Both advocate talking to our enemies without preconditions. Just the other day, Barack Obama, sounding like a replay of Carter, called for a “diplomatic surge that includes Iran.”
In truth, Iran becomes more dangerous every single day.
But Barack Obama, like all donkey appeasers, figures that just making nice to jihadist Jew-haters will, y'know, charm them into being good neighbors. As if that's ever happened. Hey, Obama's Pastor certainly never moderated his views on Jews or Israel. Not in 20 years. But then, as far as we know, Obama never even tried to talk some sense into his good Pastor. Nope, Barack Obama just sat there for 20-years, with his wife and children, nodded his head and responded, “Amen brother.”
I will say it right now: Jews who vote for Obama are either suicidal, stupid, or hey, delusional, which is pretty much the definition of a Jewish Democrat these days.
With all due respect.
Anywhoo.
This notion of Iran as a partner to stabilize Iraq is not merely gullible, but dangerous. Persia seeks hegemony over that region of the world. Persia, from 1980 to 1988 fought a bloody war with Iraq in which a million men were slaughtered. Now Persia sees her chance to annihilate her blood enemy and absorb that country as a province, and snatch Iraq's vast oil fields as a grand prize.
Obama, when speaking to General David Patraeus, sounded not just like an appeaser and a defeatist, but quite frankly, he was way over his head.
Never forget that Jimmy Carter lost Iran. Never forget that Jimmy Carter helped usher in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
It appears that Barack Obama is determined to lose Iraq and perhaps throw Israel into the bargain.
It's quite clear that Barack Obama is a replay of Jimmy Carter.
Oh, and guess which Democratic candidate Carter is backing in the primaries?
And this from the Republican Jewish Coalition:
The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) today called on Sens. Hillary Clinton, John McCain and Barack Obama to speak out in opposition to former President Jimmy Carter's possible plans to visit with Hamas terror chief Khaled Meshal in Syria. As reported by FOX News, the Arabic-language newspaper Al-Hayat reported Tuesday that Carter is planning a trip to Syria in mid-April and will be meeting with Meshal.
"It is unacceptable that a former American president would choose to dignify and legitimize Hamas leader Khaled Meshal with a visit. Hamas is a designated terrorist organization that denies Israel's right to exist, kidnaps Israeli soldiers, fires rockets on Israeli towns, is responsible for the deaths of American citizens and celebrated in the streets of Gaza after the September 11 terrorist attacks. Meshal has even called Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad 'courageous' for denying the Holocaust," said RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks.
"As presidential contenders who have pledged to protect America and stand with our ally, Israel, we urge Senators Clinton, McCain and Obama to speak out forcefully against former President Carter's possible meeting with Khaled Meshal and to ask him not to have this meeting," said Brooks.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
It's absolutely outrageous. Back in '76, when he was running for President, people were saying we needed to vote for him because he was an evangelical Christian. I'm really proud to say I didn't fall for that.
And I'm telling you, Robert, the guy is a dead ringer for Gollum.

Carter is a disgrace. Wonder what his Saudi friends think of him sucking up to terrorists who are backed by Iran

Carter is completely unhinged. It has become clear that he has lost touch with reality. Of course that gives him the benefit of the doubt, but I am nice that way...sometimes.

Dr. Carol:
Carter is the last Democrat I voted for. After Carter, I have been a staunch Republican.
He may look like Gollum, but he sounds like Julius Streicher.

Good point. But Carter plays so many anti-Jewish cards that he manages to satisfy all Jew-haters in the Arab world. He's the equal opportunity anti-Semite. From Harvard to Oman.

Jack:
Respectfully, I disagree. I do not believe that Carter is unhinged. I believe that he's a committed Jew-hater. I believe that he's, at the core, an evil man. For only evil men dedicate themselves to make war against the the Jewish State and the Jewish people.
And yes, Jack, you are nice. But no need to be nice to a man who makes a career of demonizing the Jewish people.

Robert,
Ultimately it doesn't matter whether he is in control of his faculties or not. He has become a real problem.

Jack:
Very true. Well, maybe on April 18th the Israeli's will get smart and drop a laser-guided bomb on Mash'al and, ahem, take care of two Jew-haters all for the price of one.

An "evil man" and a "committed jew hater"
Im not even an American and I have more respect for the institution of the presidency than this.

Delusional Jewish Democrats? You don't say.
These folks haven't learned anything over the past 15 years which confirmed what us poor ignorant right wingers knew before the "peace process" started. They are "pro-peace" not "pro-Israel." That "peace" for them is now defined by whatever Fatah and Hamas want is what discredits "peace."

Soccer Dad:
Thanks so much for the invaluable links. I have very little hope for the sanity of the American Jewish community as far as politics are concerned. No matter what the Democrats do, no matter how comfortable the party has become for Jew-haters and anti-Zionists American Jews would rather die than support Republicans. They would see Israel go up in flames rather than admit that the so-called peace process is, in fact, just another stage in the genocidal war against Israel.
We're talking about people whose political thought has not evolved, has not matured since they were college students.

I am not sure Carter is evil at his core. His foundation has done considerable humanitarian work in Africa and has been at the front-lines in eradicating river blindness, a disease affecting millions. I think I am with some of the commenters above; I think age has withered away his objective thought and made him unhinged.
