Israel’s UN ambassador calls Jimmy Carter ‘a bigot’

Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations on Thursday called former President Jimmy Carter “a bigot” for meeting with the leader of the militant Hamas movement in Syria.
Carter, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, “went to the region with soiled hands and came back with bloody hands after shaking the hand of Khaled Mashaal, the leader of Hamas,” Ambassador Dan Gillerman told a luncheon briefing for reporters.
The diplomat was questioned about problems facing his country during a wide-ranging discussion with reporters lasting more than an hour. The briefing was sponsored by The Israel Project, a Washington-based, media-oriented advocacy group.
The ambassador’s harsh words for Carter came days after the ex-president met with Mashaal for seven hours in Damascus to negotiate a cease-fire with Gaza’s Hamas rulers. Carter then called Mashaal on Monday to try to get him to agree to a one-month truce without conditions, but the Hamas leader rejected the idea.
The ambassador called last weekend’s encounter “a very sad episode in American history.”
He said it was “a shame” to see Carter, who had done “good things” as a former president, “turn into what I believe to be a bigot.”
Telephone calls by The Associated Press to two Atlanta numbers for Carter were not immediately returned Thursday.
Wild Thing’s comment……..
I am a fan of Gillerman he has always been so good. LOL But Dan Gillerman is being way too polite. haha
Because I was thinking sorry ass traitor that should be denied re-entry into this country, myself. Better yet Carter is a Jew-hating bastard! Carter hates anything about Israel and embraces terrorists before he embraces our allies.
When Peanuts Carter dies… I heard he wants a PLO flag draped over his coffin, and a HAMAS 21-gun salute? Jihad Jimmy, our modern day BENEDICT ARNOLD?
Why is it only Nutjobs get the Nobel Peace Prize?
Carter, Gore, need I go on?
Both are pathological liars and cheats.
Both scammed hard working Americans out of billions of dollars with their crazy unfounded deeds.
Carter is more than a bigot.
Gore is the village idiot whose village doesn’t want him back.
Both should be strung up by their toe nails and tried for treason.
It is my desire for both Jimmah and Fidel to expire at the same time and both be buried in the same casket, twins forever.
I found this appropriate Donk toon over at Charmin’s place.
Ambassador Gillerman is too kind. Jimmy Carter went from being our worst President to an irrelevant has-been, to a terrorist supporting traitor.
If I didn’t know that this is a satirical website I would find the story believable. Enjoy!

Jimmy Carter is the definition of, ‘You can’t fix stupid’.
After 30 years of a failed Presidency he is still trying to re-write his legacy. He should write a book instead and call it. ‘How to be a failure and smile at it’.
2bornot2b?, you know that would fit Carter to a T, to have the PLO flag drapped on is coffin when he dies. I wish that would be possible I sure would vote for that to be done when he passes away.
Lynn, good point, I not positive, but I think most that got the Nobel Peace Prize have been big time liberals etc.
Jack oh my gosh that is perfect. Thank you so much and for the links too. I went to Charmin’s and left a comment with the cartoon.
Les, thanks for the link to that write up. Yes it is a good one for sure. It sure could be believable.
Mark, yessss that is what he should do. Good one.
Carter may actually have some distorted logic behind his actions. He is an avowed Christian and if he is one that takes the bible literally he may be afraid that the end is near if the Jews hold on to Israel..
And with all the screwups he has made he may figure he needs some time before he can meet Jesus face to face..you know, that lusting in his heart stuff
GUY, he sure has made screw ups. Not only now but when he was President as well.
