REJECTED: Carter snubbed by terrorist group

Dec. 11, 2008

Former US president Jimmy Carter wanted to meet with the Lebanon-based Shiite terrorist group Hizballah. But they didn’t want to meet with him.

“Hizballah does not meet with anyone from a U.S. administration which supports Zionist terrorism,” said Mohamed Raad, head of Hizballah’s parliamentary bloc, referring to Israel.

What some pacifists don’t realize is that reaching out to them doesn’t change their perception of you, simply because you are a Westerner, as an Israel-supporting infidel.

Hizballah is one of the parliamentary blocs and parties Carter wanted to meet with. Rick Jasculca, a spokesman for the Carter Center, said Hizballah declined the request.
