Jimmy Carter... the worst president ever. Maybe the second worst. The votes aren't all in yet...
is not the best person to defend the Paleostinians and talk about peace in the Middle East, a journalist and political commentator in Ireland says, describing Carter as part of the "American hand that has caused a lot of trouble" in the region.
"Gazoo is a humanitarian catastrophe" and "Jimmy Carter talks about 'there's no humane or legal justification for the way the Israeli Defense Forces are conducting this war.' And how could it be a war in the first place because wars are fought traditionally between armies. Here, we have an army fighting civilians," said Anna O'Leary.
In a sharply worded article Carter co-wrote with Ireland's former President Mary Robinson in the new issue of the Foreign Policy magazine published Tuesday, he called on the UN Security Council to vote for a resolution that would "mandate an end to the siege" on the Gazoo Strip.
The two former leaders also urged Western countries to recognize the Paleostinian resistance group Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, as a legitimate "political actor," while blasting Israel's "war crimes" in the Gazoo Strip.
"I'm not sure that Jimmy Carter is the best person to be talking about peace," O'Leary told Press TV during a phone interview on Wednesday.
"Carter may mean well in what he's doing, but Carter, at the end of the day, is an American hand and the American hand has caused a lot of trouble in the Middle East," she added.
O'Leary blasted the American government for "openly sending in arms" and "openly sending in money to fund the genocide of the people of Paleostine" by the Zionist regime.
