Carter 'holds back tears' on Gaza

Former US president Jimmy Carter expresses extreme dismay over the damage inflicted by Israeli forces using state-of-the-art US made weaponry on Gaza.

While touring the war-ravaged strip, Carter said Tuesday that he was deeply concerned about the damage Israeli war planes deliberately inflicted on the people of Gaza using US bombs.

"I have to hold back tears when I see the deliberate destruction that has been wracked against your people," Carter said.

Carter also surveyed a school destroyed during Israel's Christmas war on the Coastal sliver, decrying the fact that it had been "deliberately destroyed by bombs from F16s made in my country."

"I feel partially responsible for this as must all Americans and Israelis," he added.

It seems as if he has grown a big conscience in his older years but maybe, just maybe he had one before, but like most presidents they follow orders and do little leading. They are puppets of those who hold tightly onto the purse strings!

I think its just getting more and more obvious to the older minions what they did and whats being built, that their humanity disallows them to continue their previous course of thought.

'Hamas foiled plot to assassinate Carter in Gaza'
Ha'aretz - ‎

Hamas has foiled an attempt by Palestinian militants to attack former U.S. president Jimmy Carter during his visit to the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian source told news agencies on Tuesday.

According to the source, militants linked with Al-Qaida planted two roadside bombs at a border crossing between Gaza and Israel with the intent of striking Carter's vehicle on his way out of the coastal territory. Witnesses reported seeing Hamas forces patrolling near the Erez crossing and detonating the explosives.

Hamas Interior Ministry spokesman Ihab al-Rassin denied the reports, however, saying the group's forces had engaged in routine activity and had no information of an assassination attempt.

Associates of the former president said they had received briefing on the matter, but would not elaborate on the matter.

Carter was in Gaza on Tuesday to meet with leaders of the ruling Hamas movement, in an effort to persuade them to adopt the international community's conditions for lifting the crippling economic blockade.

The former president brought with him to Gaza a letter for abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who has been in Palestinian captivity since he was captured in a 2006 cross-border raid.

Shalit's father Noam told Haaretz over the weekend that he Carter would be able to get a letter to his son and confirm delivery as early as this week.

Carter met last week with Hamas' political leader in Damacus, Khaled Meshal, but gave the Shalits no news about their son's condition following thosen talks.

The Shalit family has not had a sign of life from Gilad in a year. The last letter the Shalits received from their son, a year ago, was faxed to the offices of Carter's organization in Ramallah.

Jimmy Carter has had to take a lot of heat for his stand against Palestinians it's just unbelievable. He had people resign from his foundation because if it. He could possibly be one of the most hated people by the Israelis and their brainwashed neo-con followers.

At least he seems like he is trying to make good in the world now that he's an old man.
