I think the possibility of extremists on both sides of the Israeli/Palestine issue may want to throw some sand in the works. Resolving the issue removes their importance and power.

I may be the conspiracy nutjob part of me, but I see no business rationale to solve such problems. Would Symantic want worms/viruses/trojans to go away or be eliminated? Heck, I could see the possibility that they actually clandestinely create the things. Does the Cancer Society actually want cancer cured?
I tend to look for motive in such things. Considering the quest for greed and power that is prevalent today, I see no rationale as to why all organizations are not infected. -

"Why would these guys want to kill Carter?"
Reply
They wouldn't. They're a bunch of bloodthirsty, murdering Jew-haters. He's their best friend. The whole thing, if it happened at all and wasn't made up for the publicity, was probably a plant so Hamas can come off as the good guys.

Hamas looking out for Carter? Was it an accidental 'find', or were they being proactive? And why would anyone want to hurt Jimmy Carter? I have a suspicion of who would, but of course it will be viewed as crazy. Dang, even after all the research I've done, it still seems so foreign to my life experience that I have to do a reality check now and again. But I still have to hazard my guess that the one group that doesn't want Carter involved in ME peace would be Zionists, and that includes Christian Zionists.

The problem with the above sentence is that Carter isn't interested in ME peace unless that peace includes exterminating the Jews. Hamas is an organization dedicated to that "ideal".
The Charter (you can find it yourself to confirm this) states, ""The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him."
Carter does not believe Hamas to be a terrorist organization and wants them taken off the list of terror organizations. I believe it's reasonable to conclude that Carter supports the goals of Hamas, including extermination of the Jews. I see nothing in his words or actions that would lead to any other conclusion.
I wonder if you agree with him.

I'm sure it was planted by Hamas and made to look like they might have saved someone. W/Hama's credibility rating of less than 0 this wouldn't surprise me. But then again it's Jimmy Carter. The best friend our enemies ever had. Who cares?

I don't trust Hammas but I'm not sure if they planted it or not. There are a dozen other groups that would love to attack anyone from the USA and if it insulted or hurt Hammas, even better. This is region where they will never know peace until they love their children more than they love killing their perceived enemies.

What a load of crap. Hammas, PLO, or any other Islamic based terrorist group knows that Carter is your best friend. You send his library some money and he supports your cause. He loves to attack Israel too so he fits in fine with them. What a joke.

FTA: Israel and Egypt have kept Gaza's borders virtually closed since Hamas overran the territory in 2007
Reply
This is typical Fox spin. Hamas never overran Gaza. It is a democratically elected government. That's what we want isn't it? Democracy in the middle east?-

Only when it serves a purpose. We have supported all sorts leaders, from elected officials to dictators. Many times it has come back to be a pressing foreign policy problem.
Reply
We refuse to learn from our mistakes. Or is that intentional? It tends to keep our leaders in power because the citizenry doesn't seem to want to look back 5 or 10 years to see the same leaders creating the very problem they are suddenly touting as being threatening.
Being conservative would mean to not create the problem in the first place. -

We (the West) want democracy in the entire world, not only in the Middle East. This does not preclude and does not contradict fighting DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED terrorists like Hamas, DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED Nazis like Hitler and his thugs, etc.
People in Gaza and other places have the right to elect the leaders they like. They also have an obligation to take responsibility for the results of their elections. -

"This is typical Fox spin."

Where the spin of all the liberal media is that Israel is always guilty. C'mon. Do you really think that if Israel were to give the terrorists all they want there would be peace tomorrow? That cr@p is fooling no one.
Everyone knows that when the Israelis pull out, the terrorists move in. They get closer and closer to destroying Israel. That's what happens. Are you telling us that's not what you want?
"That's what we want isn't it? Democracy in the middle east?"
Hitler was voted into power as well. Did you like what he did?

"Nobody in Gaza will touch this man," Hamas adviser Ahmed Yousef said. "He is on a noble mission. Everyone here respects him."
Reply
And why doubt that? It is reasonable.
If we are to begin with motive, we should probably be pointing the finger at Mossad. Assassinating Jimmy Carter and blaming Hamas for the deed would be just the kind of false flag op that they would go for.
In fact, it's probably the sort of fantasy Cherev whacks off to.-

Hold on skippy. Mossad may not be nice guys but there's one thing they've done that Hammas cannot claim. They've had nukes for the last 35-40 years but have never used them. If Hammas were able to put a dirty bomb together or even a missile launched weapon, could you guarantee with your life they wouldn't use it first chance they get?
Reply
As for Mossad, Jimmy Carter wouldn't be worth their time. He isn't worth the 25 cents for the bullet. -

Hardly, dear. First, if Mossad was willing to assassinate Carter he would be dead.
Second, no matter who planted these bombs (if there were bombs at all) you and other terrorist behind-lickers would blame Israel and not vice versa.
Third, Israel would NEVER risk ending its relations with the United States by killing the former US President.

Do we really want this nut job visiting the middle east at all? Remember, he's one of the guys that helped give North Korea the breathing room to build the bomb. He went against President Clinton's objections, played peace maker and managed to help them gain time and technology. Do we really want him anywhere near Hammas?
