Carter: Stop favoring Fatah over Hamas
Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST Jun. 19, 2007

The United States, Israel and the European Union must end their policy of favoring Fatah over Hamas, or they will doom the Palestinian people to deepening conflict between the rival movements, former US President Jimmy Carter said Tuesday.

Carter, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate who was addressing a conference of Irish human rights officials, said the Bush administration's refusal to accept the 2006 election victory of Hamas was "criminal."

Carter said Hamas, besides winning a fair and democratic mandate that should have entitled it to lead the Palestinian government, had proven itself to be far more organized in its political and military showdowns with the Fatah movement of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

Hamas fighters routed Fatah in their violent takeover of the Gaza Strip last week. The split prompted Abbas to dissolve the power-sharing government with his rivals in Hamas and set up a Fatah-led administration to govern the West Bank.

Carter said the American-Israeli-European consensus to reopen direct aid to the new government in the West Bank, but to deny the same to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, represented an "effort to divide Palestinians into two peoples."

Carter is normally a blundering idiot, but he is right in this case. If you are going to promote free elections, you can't complain about who wins.

A former president backing a long time terror list organization is not good.

Nor do you have to do business with them.

carter needs to start wearing a ski mask and head band when making speeches so he can show his support of the terror organizations fully. Where are the angry rabbits when you need one?
