I warned Carter that he was making a mistake. No one here is going to listen to him, so I fail to see what the whole point is if he's trying to "make peace".
We don't take too kindly to traitors Mr. Carter, so when the Israeli's said they wouldn't help with security for you, you can't be surprised. Why should they help you out when you're conversing with people who murdered their civilians?
Israeli leaders shunned former U.S. President Jimmy Carter during a visit because of his plans to meet Hamas and Israel's secret service declined to assist U.S. agents guarding him, U.S. sources said on Monday."They're not getting support from local security," one of the sources said, on condition of anonymity.
An American source described as "unprecedented" the lack of Shin Bet cooperation with the U.S. Secret Service, which protects all current and former U.S. presidents, as well as Israeli leaders when they visit the United States.
Carter, who brokered Israel's first peace treaty with an Arab neighbor, Egypt, signed in 1979, met Israel's largely ceremonial president, Shimon Peres, on Sunday. But Israel's political leadership, including Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, steered clear of the Nobel Peace Prize winner.
The former U.S. leader has angered the Israeli government over plans to meet Hamas' top leader, Khaled Meshaal, in Syria, and for describing Israeli policy in the occupied Palestinian territories as "a system of apartheid" in a 2006 book.
