That’s the only thing one can conclude after reading something like this:
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.”
And strapping explosives to yourself and walking into a pizza joint filled with innocent civilians is what President Mr. Carter, an act of political expression ?
Is there any way to go back in time and elect Jerry Ford in `76 ?
