Carter in Syria: Israel must fully lift Gaza blockade
2010-10-20
[Haaretz] Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter,
... the worst president ever...
 during a visit to Damascus on Tuesday, called for Israel to lift completely its blockade on the Gazoo Strip.

Carter made the remarks in the forum of a delegation known as The Elders, who met with Syria's hereditary President Bashar Pencilneck Assad and Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, leaders in Syria.

Despite the U.S. and the European Union's labeling of Hamas as a terrorist organization, The Elders met with exiled Hamas politburo leader Khaled Meshaal, as Carter has done during previous regional visits.

Following their talks with Assad and Meshal, The Elders said people in the region have "very low expectations" that the current U.S.-led talks between Israel and the Paleostinian Authority, which excluded Hamas, would succeed.

Carter, who has visited the Gazoo Strip several times in recent years, did not accompany the rest of the delegation on their trip there Saturday.

Despite his absence from Gazoo, Carter renewed calls for Israel to lift its blockade of the Hamas-governed Gazoo Strip. Israel imposed the blockade in 2007 after Hamas wrestled control over the territory in a violent coup.

"The blockade is one of the most serious human rights
... which are not the same thing as individual rights, mind you...
 violations on Earth and it must be lifted fully," said the mealy-mouthed Carter from Syria.

Besides Carter, the Elders delegation includes former Irish president Mary Robinson and former UN envoy Lakhdar Brahimi.
Now there's a stacked deck...
While in Gazoo, the group described Israel's blockade as an "illegal collective punishment" and "an impediment to peace."
Which only demonstrates the determined virulence of their ignorance.

#17  Who pays any attention to his rantings? The younger generation doesn't know who he is. Those old enough to have experienced his presidency haven't listened to him since 1980. Just another has-been desperately trying to crawl back into the spotlight.

#16  When this asswad finally does stop stealing oxygen from the good people of earth, it will be telling to see how small the crowds will be at his funeral procession and time lying in state. Compare it to the throngs, the thousands and thousands who waited for hours just to pass by the casket of Reagan.

He is a small man. And he knows it.

#15  Congratulations on your clan's win, Goldies Everywhere. You're probably the only ones who got any positive benefit from that man, who gave religious Christians a bad name.

#14  I've said this before: The only story I want to see about Jimmy Carter is that he died (peacefully in his sleep, of natural causes). I am not advocating violence or anything, cuz that would bring down the wrath of the moderators on me.

I also hope that the story would be soon.

#12  a horrible person: awful, mean, small, anti-Jooooo, loves dictators. Really, Jimmy I think you're not just the worst president (you've got current competition), but even Barry O isn't quite such a small unlikeable man.

*spit*

#11  Can someone please give this idiot an axehandle facial? I don't want him dead (he'd be a martyr, which is something we really REALLY don't need), but I do want him to STFU and stop giving aid and comfort to our enemies. That USED to be a treasonable offense, but apparently not for Dummycritters like Kahtah.

#9  Did this guy ever do anything right? I heard some guy on the radio recently say he actually had quite a "distinguished" record.

Maybe the guy on the radio didn't understand that the word distinguished is usually used to convey good connotations.

The guy on the radio also neglected to list any of his "distinguished" accomplishments . . . .

They couldn't find one that would take him, DV.

#4  Should he be called "the Antisemitic former president Jimmy Carter", or "Former president, Antisemite Jimmy Carter"?

#3  Of course murdering innocent civilians in cold blood isn't a violation of Human Rights -- as long as it's Jewish blood right Mr. Carter?

Can we declare him a Terrorist Supporter and not let him back in now?

#1  The blockade is one of the most serious human rights violations on Earth and it must be lifted fully," said the mealy-mouthed Carter from Syria.

And what does Hamas smuggle through its tunnels from Egypt? Missiles to shoot into Israel.

Carter may be an ex-president but he is not an ex-idiot.
