Carter Lays Wreath On Yasser Arafat’s Grave

Buried at the bottom of this otherwise unsurprising article from France’s AFP:


Jimmy Carter lays a wreath at late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s grave in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Tuesday, April 15, 2008.

Israel nixed planned visit to Gaza: Carter

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AFP) — Former US president Jimmy Carter said on Tuesday he wanted to visit the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on his current Middle East tour but indicated that Israel refused to authorise the trip.

“I haven’t been able to get a permission to go to Gaza. I would like to. I asked for permission but I was turned down,” Carter told reporters in the West Bank city of Ramallah ahead of a meeting with Palestinian prime minister Salam Fayyad.

Israeli authorities, which control access to Gaza, did not immediately comment on the claim.

Carter’s nine-day sweep through the region has drawn fire from the United States and Israel, which have urged him not to go through with a planned face-to-face meeting with exiled Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal in Damascus…

Carter defended his decision to meet Meshaal, saying he hoped to help involve the movement in the current peace process.

“I’m going to try everything I can to get him to agree to a peaceful resolution of differences both with the Israelis and with Fatah,” he said, referring to Abbas’s Fatah movement.

“But I’m not a negotiator, I’m just trying to understand different options and communicate,” he said. “If he has anything constructive to say, he or the Syrian president, then I would bring it to other people.”

The former president and his wife Rosalynn Carter laid a wreath on the tomb of late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in Ramallah. The wreath bore the words: “President and Mrs Carter.” …

And Mr. Carter wonders why the Israelis don’t want him going into Gaza?

Or at least he pretends to.

    Carter’s passport should be revoked when he returns to the US, the mindless babbling tool.

    It seems there may be more to Jimmah’s canard regarding his canceled terrorist meeting in Gaza, from MSNBC;

    American sources close to the matter said the Shin Bet security service, which helps protect visiting dignitaries and is overseen by Olmert’s office, declined to meet the head of Carter’s Secret Service security detail or provide his team with assistance as is customary during such visits.

    “They’re not getting support from local security,” an American source said.

    Another source described the snub as an “unprecedented” breach between the Israeli Shin Bet and 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.

    Bwaahaahaahahaha..!! Kudos to the Israeli Shin Bet, I wouldn’t cooperate with him either, heh.
    I do feel for the Secret Service individuals assigned to protect this asshat. What a waste of time and effort.

    I have to wonder how much of Carter’s actions are because he’s a purblind idiot, or just because he plain old hates Jews and Israel…or if it’s a mix, what the proportions are…

    So Jimmuh is paying homage to a baby killer now? He’s living proof that Aricept is not effective for Alzheimers. He was a lousy President and an even worse Ex-President.

    Stick to what you do best Jimmuh. Growing peanuts!

    I know that as taxpayers we sponsor the Secret Service detail for this nincompoop. But are we also paying for his travel expenses as he staggers from one nauseating photo op to another?

    “I’m just trying to understand different options and communicate”

    Only two options:

    1. Israel survives

    2. Israel dies

    There, it has been communicated.

    What disturbs me more than Carter’s treason is our lack of will to do something about it. IMO there are two governments in this county and he is practicing diplomacy for the so-called shadow government. He’s not just a rogue trying to atone for his failures as president but he’s actually representing the global socialist movement that apparently is in charge here.

    It was Carter’s policies that allowed radical Islam to take over Iran and become a terrorist (and now nuclear) threat to Americans and now he wants to “negotiate” with the terrorist organization Hamas. If that’s not enough, he’s throwing it all in our face by laying a wreath at the grave of Arafat. So what do we do about? Not a damn thing.

    BTW the article mentions, “Carter ruffled Israeli feathers with a 2006 book”. This book was so full of lies that even those close to him were critical. See here:

    Check out the funding sources for the Carter Center. It’s loaded with Arab money (including the bin Laden family) but I don’t see anything from an Israeli source.

    Anyone with any judgement or honor would have to recognize that Yasser Arafat was an evil man, a terrorist. Arafat had more Middle Eastern blood on his hands than anyone alive during his lifetime. Only a despicable fool would fail to recognize this.

  9. Noyzmakr

    It’s not just Jimmah. Clinton invited the murderer Arafat to the White House and Camp David. Obama will do the same thing, even worse. Recognition of these animals only prolongs the bloodshed.

  10. Lipstick on a PIAPS

    Didn’t Arafat get a slightly wet handshake from Bill finishing up himself with Monica running out of the Oval Office before everyone came in?!? ROFLMAO

    What an absolute swine. Words fail me to describe how horrible this “thing” is. He’s not even a human being.
    And there are two other tragedies just as bad:
    1) The people who tolerate this pig,
    2) The Dem candidates would do the exact same thing if it would get them elected.

    He’s the pea-NUTTIEST!!!

    Jimmy Carter is the positively worst form of a “leader” former or otherwise alive. Wealthy, beyond reproach, elitist, and he knows so much better than the rest of the world. His legacy is alive today. Islam was given the green light by his total lack of will to stop them when he had the chance.

    Now, by his groveling at the feet of that fetid pork rind Arafat, he is once again encouraging all who wish to destroy the United States to do so post haste. I didnt like him when he destroyed our economy and left us vulnerable to islam’s inevitable infection…….today, I just cant stand the man. He is everything Americans are not. Too bad the left uses him as their poster child for leadership.

    I remember as Carter laid the wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier….he was thinking ” If I can help it, there will be many many more” He is the facilitator of the nuclear jihad we will suffer in the future. He could have stopped them cold. But instead, he chose to turn three hundred million cheeks.

    Carter was also largely responsible for letting the Conserver Cult take control of our energy policies, thanks to his 1977 National Energy Act. This was bad enough for the economy but even worse on national security.

    Like the IPCC’s AGW scam, it was preceded with catastrophic predictions and then written “in an atmosphere of secrecy and mistrust. It was written by government functionaries, by lawyers and academics, almost all of them, like James Schlesinger, representatives of the technocratic interest.”

    So Carter’s ‘center’ is rift with Arab money. . .And Clinton’s ‘foundation, library and massage parlor’ are rift with Chinese money. . .And the swimmer Kennedy was double dealing with the Russkies. . .And Madam Shrieker of the House was (probably) double dealing with Assad - not to mention such notable (not-so) honorable mention of Kerry with the NV ‘negoiations’ . . .Is it any wonder that the US is in this state of being - we are being sold out by our own ‘elected representatives’ - while they line their pockets and buy their third and fourth ‘vacation’ home and build up those foundations and off shore accounts (that also allow them to avoid paying the taxes on such income). . .

    Treason - a good trial for treason would hopefully end this terribly dangerous behavior - at the very least they should all be out of office. I can’t believe anyone believes that this behavior is acceptable at all.

    Well i was waiting to reply to this in hope that ol jimmy would reconsider what he was doing. But no he thinks he can open dialouge with true haters of Christians. Well for one i hope he is striped of all goverment money an his passport. Once again this shows just how stupid some government officals can be.

    An yasser is an was a terrorist an he gets a nobel peace prize. An now this a past U.S. President does this.. Stupidity at all time high
