I didn’t catch this when he first said it, but the nauseating Jimmy Carter had this exchange with Wolf Blitzer back on 28 November 2006 (emphasis mine):
BLITZER: But the Israelis did pull out of Gaza only to find that these Katyusha rockets, these other rockets, had been launched from Gaza into the southern part of Israel.
CARTER: Israel withdrew from Gaza and then the Palestinians — what precipitated this was not the Katyusha rockets, it was the seizure of an Israeli soldier, which was probably a mistake on their side.
So the Palestinians do hold one Israeli soldier.
The Israelis hold 9,200 Palestinians, as I said earlier, including 300 children and about 100 women.
And as soon as the Palestinians took this soldier, immediately they offered to swap this soldier to the Israelis for a limited number of women and children being held by the Israelis in prison.
The Israelis rejected that offer.
Even in the aftermath of a brief but intense war between Israel and Hizballah in which hundreds were killed, a former President of the United States can’t bring himself to unequivocally characterize Hizballah’s acts of aggression as a mistake? It was “probably” a mistake?
Carter is not only a bag-of-shit apologist for the terrorist government of Palestine, but for the anti-democratic and Jew-hating proxies of Iran and Syria that have taken and destroyed the hopes of the Cedar Revolution in Lebanon.
He is also a suck-up to Kim in North Korea and Castro in Cuba.
The only reason why he is not more widely seen as another Ramsey Clark is because of the protection of his media image that he enjoys as a former President. But the guy’s an embarrassment.
When Jimmy Carter’s time on Earth is done, you will see nothing of the outpouring of grief that accompanied the passing of his successor. His Presidency was the mistaken overreaction of the American Left to the crimes of the Nixonians. It was also the manure in which the Reagan Revolution grew its boutonnieres.
