Global War On Terrorism: Jimmy Carter says it's "inhumane and counterproductive" for Israel "to punish civilian populations" for Hezbollah's aggression. If you hadn't helped overthrow the Shah of Iran, Jimmy, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Our former president made this statement in a Washington Post op-ed in which the man who helped midwife the habitat for inhumanity that is Iran spouted the standard liberal dogma about cease-fires and something called "lasting peace."
He forgets that Hezbollah is the spawn of Iran, and Iran is the spawn of his failed foreign policy. Carter, upon taking office in 1977, declared that advancing "human rights" was among his highest priorities. America's ally, the Shah of Iran, was one of his first targets, with Carter chastising him for his human rights record and withdrawing America's support.
When Ayatollah Khomeini overthrew the shah in February 1979, he established the first modern Islamofascist regime, a role model for the Taliban and the jihadists to follow, such as al-Qaida and Hezbollah.
While Carter claims it is "inhumane" for Israel to "punish" civilians, he forgets it is a war crime to use them as human shields. Hezbollah is guilty of war crimes, and Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's chief terrorist, is a war criminal for the indiscriminate killing of Israeli civilians and for using Lebanese civilians as human shields.
As Israeli Defense Force videos show, Hezbollah likes to park its Katyusha rocket launchers next to apartment buildings like the one destroyed in Qana. The IDF showed the world press footage of Hezbollah rocket launchers being driven into Qana, parked behind and alongside civilian buildings, from where they would launch their rockets against Israeli civilians in Kiryat Shemona, Afula and Ma'alot.
Over the last three weeks, at least 150 rockets have been fired into northern Israeli towns from Qana. The specific building hit had been a frequent shelter for Hezbollah terrorists, who would dart inside after firing their unguided rockets with warheads full of tiny ball bearings designed to indiscriminately kill and maim. |
