Former US president Jimmy Carter has been refused protection by Israeli secret service (Mossad) while he visits the region. Seems akward that such a staunch allie would refuse to assist in the protection of a former leader, their reason why? Carter is planning a visit with a leader of the Hamas party in Syria while hes in the region. Carter is more known for his humanitarian work than for his presidency yet the Isrealis turn their back to because he is going to have dialogue with a group they oppose. Carters obvious goal is to corral non-violent relations between the two hated groups, yet the Isrealis don't seem to want to talk at all (quite like the US's stance on groups it opposes). The US has even said it doesn't believe that Carter should be holding talks with Hamas, yet the US remains isolated from the group but continually issues statements against this "terrorist" group. I appreciate the medias ability to quote only the leaders of the Jewish nation and have no quotes or descusion with leaders of Hamas or even Palestine. I'm not in any way a supporter for Hamas but don't believe that simply labeling them terrorist and then refusing to speak to them will not lead to a peaceful resolution.
