CBNNew.com - DUBLIN, Ireland - Speaking at a human rights conference in Dublin, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter called the Bush administration's rejection of Hamas, following their January 2006 legislative victory, "criminal."
Carter said efforts by the U.S., E.U. and Israel to fund Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas Fatah government, while shunning Hamas in the Gaza Strip, was meant "to divide Palestinians into two peoples."
"That action was criminal," Carter told reporters in following his presentation at the conference.
"The United States and Israel decided to punish all the people in Palestine and did everything they could to deter a compromise between Hamas and Fatah," he said.
