How so? I haven't seen one single article or item that indicates that Hamas or anyother group is using this event in any propagandist way. Not one...

PS. The point is - Carter is giving them a platform in the world where none existed before. His simple presence means people are going to look. This is how they are using him.

No one has "used" him yet. As for a platform, I'm glad to see Carter involved in this humanitarian crisis. What don't these people deserve to exist? Aren't Palestinians human beings?
Everyone wants to color this through "terrorism-colored" glasses. I call BS. These are people who are being denied their existence. Just like the friggin' Jews... And the Jews NEVER let the world forget about THEIR struggle.
Just like the world judges the US by the actions of our government, so we are guilty of the same thing. We forget these are PEOPLE, not just a religious idealism. Hamas IS a legally recognized government whether we like it or not.
Shutting them out and closing the channels of communications the way the US and Israel have leaves the Palestinians little choice in how to be heard by the rest of the world. |
There is no excuse for Hamas, they dont recognize Israels right to exist, they never will. The Palestinians struggle is of their own making, they have the power to stop the violance by not voting to terrorists. This is just another front of global Jihad and any Hamas supporter i consider as enemies.
