Carter sees 'unique' chance to direct Obama's Mideast policy

JERUSALEM - Former US President Jimmy Carter, who has repeatedly refused to recognize his irrelevance in the Middle East and the bankruptcy of the ideas he first promulgated while in the White House nearly three decades ago, this week said he hopes to influence the new Obama administration as it moves "robustly" to engage the intractable Arab-Israeli conflict.

Speaking during an interview Monday on NBC television, Carter revealed the extent to which he has lost touch with reality on the ground when he insisted that the terror group Hamas could be "trusted" to keep the ceasefire it entered into 10 days ago.

The one-time Georgian peanut farmer said it was absolutely essential that the new Obama administration dialogue with the organization.

"There won't be peace in the Middle East without Hamas involvement," he insisted.

Less than 24 hours later the "trustworthy" group blatantly breached the ceasefire, killing an IDF soldier and wounding three others in an attack on an Israeli patrol near the Gaza-Israel "border" Tuesday. (See separate story.)

Carter, who like the late PLO terror chieftain Yasser Arafat is a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, will take into eternity with him the distinction of having set his country on the course it has followed ever since: aimed at getting Israel to relinquish its miraculously-restored homeland for the creation of a Palestinian state.

In another interview Monday, this time with the Associated Press, Carter said Israel faces "catastrophe" unless it establishes Palestine.

Like other proponents of "Palestine" Carter played the handy "demographic bomb" card, stating as if it were a foregone and unavoidable fact that Arabs will outnumber Jews in Israel in the foreseeable future.

Because of America's unwillingness to stand up to bullying and blackmailing Arab regimes, previous administrations have simply refused to consider that a number of alternative and workable solutions are available.
