Carter's delegation said no meeting has been confirmed, but talks with Hamas officials are "currently under discussion."
The Hamas sources said Mahmoud Zahar and Saeed Seyam left Gaza early Wednesday for Cairo to meet with Carter, who is currently in Israel and will be leaving for Egypt later in the day.
The 83-year-old former president said he has been denied permission to go into Gaza, although he added, "I would like to."
Carter is on the third day of a nine-day "study mission" to the Middle East, as part of his "ongoing effort to support peace, democracy, and human rights in the region," according to the Carter Center Web site.
I warned you all what would happen when Jimmy Carter said he was going to meet with Hamas that it was going to embolden them and make them think their terrorist activities were being legitimized.
Well, I'm getting mighty sick and tired of being right:
Following are excerpts from an interview with Hamas spokesman Ismail Radhwan, which aired on Al-Jazeera TV on April 16, 2008
Ismail Radhwan: [President Carter's visit] reflects the recognition that the Hamas movement cannot be ignored. We will benefit from this meeting by explaining our cause, our positions, and our principles and by presenting our just cause. We will adhere to our principles, and will demand that the oppressive siege be lifted from our Palestinian people.
I guess a "just cause" is putting a bomb on a city bus and killing everyone aboard. These are the kind of people that Jimmy wants to buddy up to:
And yet, no one wants to call them out on it except the Israelis and parts of the US. Fucking hypocrites and rats all over the place.
