Liberty Reborn

Oh Jimmy Carter … you are always good for a laugh!  Especially when you have been duped!  Now Carter is making claims that Hamas doesn’t even say are true?

JERUSALEM (AP) - Former President Carter said Monday that Hamas—the Islamic militant group that has called for the destruction of Israel—is prepared to accept the right of the Jewish state to “live as a neighbor next door in peace.”But Carter warned that there would not be peace if Israel and the U.S. continue to shut out Hamas and its main backer, Syria.

The Democratic former president spoke in Jerusalem after meeting last week with top Hamas leader, Khaled Mashaal, and his deputy in Syria. It capped a nine-day visit to the Mideast aimed at breaking the deadlock between Israel and Hamas militants who rule the Gaza Strip.

In Damascus, Mashaal said Hamas was offering Israel a 10-year truce if it withdraws from all lands it seized in the 1967 war.

He confirmed that Hamas would be satisfied with a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders—implicitly accepting that Israel would exist alongside that state. But Mashaal stressed the group would never outright recognize the Jewish state.

Ok so Hamas wants a “do-over”?  Hey you guys LOST!  What often happens when you lose a war is that … see … loose land.  Got it?

But that’s not all!  Hamas contradicts Carter!

“We agree to a (Palestinian) state on pre-67 borders, with Jerusalem as its capital with genuine sovereignty without settlements but without recognizing Israel,” Mashaal told reporters.

“They (Hamas) said that they would accept a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, if approved by Palestinians and that they would accept the right of Israel to live as a neighbor next door in peace,” Carter said.

Wait, so Carter said that they want to live in peace with Israel but Hama says they will not recognize Israel.  So which is it you doddering old fool!

Just another one of Jimmy’s “Agreed Frameworks” to be dashed on the rocks when the terrorists he has hugged decide they no longer have a use for it.
