Kayhan, one of the most hardline Iranian government dailies, which supports Iran’s Holocaust-denying president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has repeated and endorsed Jimmy Carter’s pro-Hamas comments (bottom right text box; full Persian text, here ).
Speaking from the comfort of faraway Ireland, where he was accepting yet another “human rights” award, Carter had said on Tuesday that it was “criminal” for the U.S., Israel, the European Union, and Arab League to shun the Iranian-armed terrorist group Hamas.
Carter went on to express strong words of support for Hamas — generally recognized by almost everyone as one of the world’s most murderous terrorist groups — leading to uneasy murmuring even among the Irish “human rights” crowd gathered at the wine-and-cheese event.
Meanwhile, at the very time Carter was speaking, a mob was attacking and beating a Kuwaiti diplomat in Teheran.
