Bruce's MidEast Soundbites

Capturing the MidEast in short soundbites: poignant reflections by people who understand the complexities of the Middle East. My philosophy is: "less is more." You won't agree with everything that's here, but I'm confident you will find it interesting! Excepting the titles, my own comments are minimal. Instead I rely on news sources to string together what I hope is an interesting, politically challenging, non-partisan, non-ideological narrative.

Hamas kicks Carter in rear: still no photos of Carter-Mashaal meeting

Meshaal corrects Carter's claim of a Hamas concession.

Note the total absence of photos from the Carter-Meshaal meeting.

Hamas contradicted a statement by former President Jimmy Carter that it would accept Israel's right to exist if that was the will of the Palestinian people.

Clearly it would have been in Hamas' interest to distribute pictures of the handshake, etc.

Could Carter have insisted on a 'no-photo' policy after he was criticized for the meeting?; Friday, April 25, 2008 10:00:00 AM
