Canada's withholding funds from Palestinians 'criminal': Carter

This mans mind has become so addled from age and an unfettered liberal brain tsunami of naivete' that both common sense and coherence of thought have become impossible.

Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter says the decision by Canada and other nations to withhold money from the Hamas-led Palestinian government is "a crime."

Israel and western donors such as Canada have demanded Hamas renounce violence, recognize Israel's right to exist and accept past peace agreements. Hamas, which is committed to Israel's destruction despite its stated offer of a long-term truce, rejects the conditions.

"It's a crime against the people of Palestine," Carter told CBC News in an exclusive interview from New York.

On what conceivable grounds could he consider it "criminal" for Canada, or any country for that matter, to withhold "discretionary" assistance from a gang of proven terrorists hostile not only to Israel's existence but to the West as a whole?
