Has a former president of the United States - a Nobel Peace Prize winner, no less - given his blessing to wanton murder and terrorist assaults against Israel?
Sure looks that way.
How else to read that astonishing statement on page 213 of Jimmy Carter's new anti-Israel screed, "Palestine: Peace, Not Apartheid"?
To wit: "It is imperative that the general Arab community and all significant Palestinian groups make it clear that they will end the suicide bombings and other acts of terrorism when international laws and the ultimate goals of the Roadmap for Peace are accepted by Israel." (Emphasis added.)
You don't have to read between the lines here.
Carter isn't calling on the Palestinians to give up terror and murder now as a way to convince Israel they are serious about peace. Rather, he says they can wait until they've achieved their goals at the bargaining table. No need, says Carter, to give up terrorism until then.
Certainly, that's how 14 members of the Carter Center's advisory board read that paragraph. Indeed, it's why they angrily submitted their resignations last week.
Meanwhile, speaking of terrorists, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was busy hanging out with liberal icon Daniel Ortega over the weekend.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad toured shantytowns with Nicaragua's leftist president, Daniel Ortega, yesterday and said the two countries share common interests and enemies.
On his second trip to Latin America in four months, Ahmadinejad called Ortega, a Cold War opponent of Washington and one of a rising number of leftist presidents in the region, a symbol of justice in Nicaragua.
"We have to give each other a hand," Ahmadinejad said. "We have common interests, common enemies and common goals."
Sounds like a real moderate.
