| Jimmy Carter says Paleoterrorists must stop terrorism |
| 2006-01-25 |
| Most of this is about Hamas e.g., ..."The Europeans and the Americans are telling Hamas to choose between arms and parliament. We say we will go for arms and parliament and there is no contradiction between the two of them," said Ismail Haniyah, a senior Hamas leader in Gaza. but then there is this Carter stated that Palestinians must stop terror groups, "even including a direct military confrontation."... and "I hope and believe that after this election there will be an extremely strong commitment by Abu Mazen [Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas] and the entire Palestinian Authority... to stamp out the last vestiges of terrorism," he said. |

| #15 Zenster. Validate? Just saying how Carter's dog in this fight is to prove that his pathetic participation in the Palestinian elections is what has finally brought him to such a moral crisis as actually condemning Hamas terrorism. Hamas threatens to topple Fatah's If the 1979 embassy seizure didn't adequately arouse his moral indignation, showing it now over two-bit thugs like Hamas means sh!t to a tree. |

| #13 this will justify him making another 28 pro-paleo slurs on Israel and Joooos - he'll claim he's "balanced" |

| #12 So, am I the only one who sees this as Carter's lame attempt to validify his own pathetic role in certifying the Palestinian elections? As in, whatever threatens his own worldview must be bad regardless of any intrinsic malignance carried forward by said entity. One can only wonder what would have been the case if he didn't have a vested interest in this. His unwonted observations regarding terrorism are tardy by a scant few decades. |

| #9 "It says here on Rantburg that Jimmy's tellin the Palestinians to stop doin' terrorist stuff to Israel." "Landsakes, Miss Roslyn! Your Jimmy? He said that?" "That's what it says." "Well, crack mah shell an' fry me fer an egg! It's like he got replaced by an alien or somethin'. Y'all need go t' the basement an' check for pods, an' right quick about it!" |

| #8 Im sorry, but I think the fact that even JC said this, is a positive thing. Or that the situation has become so screaming-yellow-zonker-obviously-screwed-up, that even Mr. Carter figured the usual palliatives won't work. Whether anything positive happens is another story. |

| #7 "Jimmeh says" must be a game like "Simon says". It can keep small children laughing for hours. |

| #6 The problem is, all of the paleos organizations, including government are terrorists. The fact JC is clinging to the false belief that the government has any sort of say or sway in the matter show just how fucking stupid and delusional he is. The only military confrontation will be Israel, the US or the average guy on the Paleo street taking up arms to kill every terrorist ther is. The fact JC said "Military confrontation" isn't good. It is fucking pathetic. |

| #4 Carter stated that Palestinians must stop terror groups,.. Felt a need to state the glaringly obvious, did he? "I hope and believe that after this election there will be an extremely strong commitment by Abu Mazen [Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas] and the entire Palestinian Authority... to stamp out the last vestiges of terrorism," he said. If Mazen couldn't/wouldn't do what needed to be done before, how would he even think of disarming terrorists faced with a Hamas majority in his Parliament (a distinct possibility)? |

| #3 The question arises: is the PA and Fatah so utterly corrupt that even dealing with Hamas is better? The argument is that we can't, because Hamas hasn't renounced violence, but Fatah has. Come again? The only faction worth dealing with is the one that can enforce its side of the deal. Fatah has proven it can't, so what is the use in even talking to them again? |
