Jimmy Carter actually offered to act as an intermediary between Israel & Hamas in his ceaseless quest to become relevant---at best his meddlesome intrusiveness deserves Israeli disdain. Which it is showing him in generous portions. Read on.......
At worst, offering to be an "intermediary" after having insulted Israel with baseless accusations of "apartheid" deriving from Israel's necessary security requirements once again demonstrates this insufferable has-been's complete silliness and his relentless drive to insert himself in peacemaking, basically aiming to ingratiate himself with Iran, Syria, and other terrorist organizations like Hamas & Hezbollah. That way, he feels he's still part of the picture.
He keeps proving again and again Ben Franklin's old adage: "There's no fool like an old fool."
This presumptuous little failed peanut farmer [who was quietly bailed out by liberal interests not wanting him to appear to be a complete fool, a daunting task indeed] never has forgiven the smackdown he believes AIPAC administered to his re-election in 1980 by inducing Fat Teddy Kennedy to run on his left and John Anderson on his centrist right. Effectively this pincered the little fellow out of the election, which Reagan won going away.
AIPAC, if guilty, presumably didn't want this meddlesome busybody inflicting himself on Israeli national interests for four more years with his incompetent State Dept desk-level preoccupation with details that much more competent professionals should have taking care of. Like his attention to who was using the WH tennis courts, this vertically-challenged obsessive/compulsive simply can't let well enough alone.
Back during his failed presidency, one of his aides finally had enough and famously uttered in frustration with his bosses' granny-nanny impulses "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Nevertheless this insufferable incompetent continues to attempt to fix a situation that he believes can be solved by endlessly splitting things down the middle---despite the fact that one party refuses to recognize the other party's right to exist! But of course, that doesn't bother this social engineer who believes that with enough tinkering, he can manage to cut and paste a jerry-built peace accord.
Of course, he ends up being cynically manipulated and used by murderous enemies of Israel---witlessly furthering a terrorist agenda he professes to be unaware of. One wonders if he is honest, or consumed with a desire for vengeance against the Israelis who he thinks destroyed his presidency.
In the end, there is one insurmountable problem. This ex-chief-of-state no longer commands respect nor does he even do much more than make himself into a spectacle of celebritard dotage.
Which doesn't bother terrorists like Hamas or Hezbollah, who manipulate him like a ventriloquist speaks for a wooden-headed dummy.
