I like Jimmy... not sure I'd want him running my country, but I still like him.

A guy down the street from me works for Habitat for Humanity and has met him. He says Jimmy is a really nice guy.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) says it turned down a meeting request from Carter, whom the terrorist group accused of "carrying an American-Israeli agenda."

Given President Carter's current...unpopularity...with the US and Israel, I'd say they're a little confused.

I have no doubt that Jimmy Carter is a nice guy and a true humanitarian, but meeting with Hamas is completely asinine.

They're really going to meet Wentworth Miller, but they didn't want to hurt Jimmy's feelings.

Wait wait, JIMMY Carter? We thought you BILLY wanted to talk to us. That guy's totally in the Jews' pocket. Also, he's dead. But yeah, Jimmy's cool.

As someone pointed out in a previous Hamas/Carter thread, the IRA disarmed and Northern Ireland has become peaceful because the opposing sides began talking.

Yeah Hamas is a bunch of a-holes but they won the last election democratically. Maybe they'd shoot less rockets into Israel if they felt more engaged politically.

Frankly, this shows that this particular extremist group (and I'm sure there are many like it) is so far up its own butthole with manufactured outrage at the West that they don't even know which teat to suckle when the sow rolls over.

Is there anyone with Carter's credentials who is more willing to listen to their side? Have they not paid any attention to what he has been endlessly criticized for here in the US and Israel?

Either they need to take time out from their busy schedule of killing innocent people and do their homework or we all need to just quit pretending that they are worth listening to at all.

Bunch of whiners. Just like Arafat. They don't want a real solution because their woe-is-me plight act is their one damned claim to international attention. Unearned and undeserved attention at that.

No, no... that's Iran silly!

Hamas and PIJ want to "drive the Jews into the sea"; big difference.

Well, that's not really true. Supergrasses crippled the Provisional IRA (as well as INLA) and the Sinn Fein decided that demographics were going to obviate the Armalite portion of the Armalite and Ballot Box strategy soon anyway.

But continue to believe that the Good Friday agreement was anything less than a full surrender by the Provos on the military front if you want.

Israeli family desiring peace: My child, you must grow up and learn that not all Palestinians are, just a few and that we must make peace with them. If we concede to their demands, eventually there will be peace.

Palestinian family desiring peace: My child, here is a suicide bomb vest, walk into the market and kill as many Jews as you can. You will be a glorious martyr for our people. After every Jew is driven into the sea, there will be peace.

The reality is though the feelings are mixed on both sides of it.

I dated an Israeli girl for a while. She was not a settler or a zealot zionist, just an average secular girl. I asked her one time would she rather have peace or have all of the palestinians dead her answer was "Of course everyone would like peace, however you just cant trust the arabs". The answer was sad , but understandable.

On the other hand my uncle is arab, born and raised in Nabalus and Jordan. He now lives in america and is married to a jewish woman. He still wishes to see israel destroyed.

Irrational hatred runs deep on both sides sadly every day the "Glass parking lot" solution seems more and more inevitable.
