WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT PRESIDENT CARTERS RECENT COMMENTS? [+] ballot by Barbara_Baby_Cakes ACTIVE Wed Jun 20, 07 - Fri Aug 28, 09 The United States, Israel and the European Union must end their policy of favoring Fatah over Hamas, or they will doom the Palestinian people to deepening conflict between the rival movements, former US President Jimmy Carter said Tuesday. Carter, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate who was addressing a conference of Irish human rights officials, said the Bush administration's refusal to accept the 2006 election victory of Hamas was "criminal." The United States and Israel decided to punish all the people in Palestine and did everything they could to deter a compromise between Hamas and Fatah. Carter said the United States and others supplied the Fatah controlled security forces in Gaza with vastly superior weaponry in hopes they would conquer Hamas in Gaza, however Hamas this month routed Fatah because of its superior skills and discipline. Carter said plans to reopen international aid to the West Bank, but clamp down on aid to Gaza, would imprison 1.4 million Gazans. He called for both territories to be treated equally. This effort to divide Palestinians into two peoples now is a step in the wrong direction, stated Carter. All efforts of the international community should be to reconcile the two, but there's no effort from the outside to bring the two together. Carter was pessimistic this would happen soon and he don't see at this point any possibility that public officials in the United States, or in Israel, or the European Union are going to take action to bring about reconciliation. Yes/No, do you agree with President Carter's recent comments, why or why not? Yes, I agree completely. No, I disagree completely.
