On President’s Day, Jimmy Carter leads the way on Hamas
Jimmy Carter has an op-ed in the WaPo advocating giving money to Hamas — for the children, or some such nonsense — and giving elected Hamas officials less-than-normal security checks as crossings. As it has been since 1979 at least, the correct thing to do with Carter’s advice is to understand it completely (he is a smart man) and then do precisely the opposite. It is fitting that we discuss him on President’s Day, since may have been the single worst president in American history — certainly in the top three. We have discussed horrific 1979 here, and Carter/Hamas here.
As for aid to Hamas, once they renounce, get rid of, and remove from children’s textbooks, this map, then maybe it would be appropriate to discuss aid (the pathetic gymnastics of EU diplomats notwithstanding).
